Yeah ceramic makes me crazy. I had two old ceramic plates I took from my parent's house more than 5 years ago and have been regularly using them to reheat leftovers ever since.
Last week, one of them shattered during the reheat. Same temp as always (300F), nothing special about the food I put on it (rice, so that was extra fun to clean up), it just decided 5 years in was the time to give up the ghost. Fuckin peesa shit.
Is it really that big of a deal? I just upgraded to a 9900x and am playing Yakuza kiwami 2 and several vr games including half life alyx at max settings. On the rare occasion I drop below 120fps, the bottleneck has very clearly been my 6700xt. I don't think I've seen the cpu ever come close to maxing out
