Considering it’s almost always 30°C+ 60%+ RH at least half of the year where I live, yes

Refrigerating them increases their shelf life significantly in these conditions

It’s probably less effective in other cooler and drier climates

AMD is the gold standard for general user PCs in the last 5+ years. Intel simply cannot compete at the same energy expenditure/performance. At the same/close price/performance, Intel either burn a small thermonuclear power plant to deliver comparable performance, or simply is worse compared to similar Ryzens

Ryzens are like aliens compared to what AMD used to be before them

So I’d go with them

As for the GPU, if you want to use Linux forget Nvidia

My most paranoid config is disabling Ipv4

That’s it. If someone wants to attack me, they will need to adopt IPv6!
