More stable perhaps, but I doubt it

You only really want to opt for a wifi-7 model because it’s a denotion that it’s a final revision board from that vendor. Wifi-7 routers and equipment cost +$600 RN so there’s not all that much of a point in concerning yourself with it as a feature unless you plan on utilizing it

I’ve seen some advertisements saying that the wifi-7 tech helps with VR headsets, but I’ve also seen people here say it doesn’t

But yeah, just sort by wifi 7 so that you know your have a newer revision board, if you opt for one without it, do so because it’s on a good sale

Mobo, just pick one with wifi-7 and you’ll be good

Yes.

They handle specific scenarios better, usually handling open world games, where resource packs saturate memory

If you look up “AMDip” you’ll see the results of that

It also overclocks higher if you’re into dabbling and investing into that

Their software tends to be more refined and mature and integrated on launch as well, so if we’re talking the very newest hardware, expect Intel to work bette - less emergency updates, less bios fixes, etc for the first ~2 years or so

That’s my experience with them both so far

Know it’s 2 weeks out, but I was quite wrong about the Bykskis

If your goal is to keep them sub-40 the Bykskis will work

Even running RAM Test they’re usually sub-40c but their peaks are pretty up there

(active cooled with a 120mm + Encore fan, Bykski heatspreaders, Thermal Grizzly 1,5mm thermal pads)

Go to Level1Forums is my recommendation

Looks like my p1600x boxes do

Doubt it’s counterfeit, but who knows

TPU may be considered a"more trustworthy" outlet

But that piece was almost certainly “inspired” by this guy’s benchmarking

Arctic freeze ii 420 in push pull

There’s some better options on the market since I got it, one of which was already mentioned, but this thing is undoubtedly to tier in both performance, cost, and customer service

Left it on overnight and this is the results:

ngl I’m shocked it’s not errored out at 15h when the dimms are hitting 78°c, zero active cooling and stock heatsinks

It’s open bench though not in a case, still have to fully assemble the rest of it so I’m stopping it there I think

Will re-update when that bot reminds me

​

But yeah, so far, seems like typical DDR5: Nothing online regarding it seems to align with my experience from any source at all that I would have normally regarded as either trustworthy or an authority on the topic 🤷

So, this is preliminary as it’s only been ~4 hours:

XMP I, No ram modifications (stock heatspreaders), no direct active ram cooling ourside of the AIO pump’s fan, and 3 pull fans blowing over the mobo as if it were in a case (it’s on its box, no case open air)

ambient is 69°f/20.5°c

This is the kit of ram:

14900k, 4090, z790 encore, 420mm aio (arctic ii + Kryosheet)

Unbelievably it still hasn’t errored even though it’s neared 80°c on the ram I’m so intrigued I’m tempted to just leave it like this until it does lmao

Now here’s something to consider

Pcie5 cards, they claim won’t need more than x8 anyways

Could be a way to add 2x extra Gen-5 m.2s without incurring motherboard or CPU lane limitations

:)

Ddr4 will outperform ddr5 at those speeds. Go for ddr4, just know that if you were to go ddr5 now, get a cheap kit and wait for ~1-2 years to upgrade, prices will plummet and it’ll be an easy cheap upgrade down the road, and youl have a spare kit of ram for emergencies or experimentation

Example: I purchased a kit of ddr5-7200-32Gb (2x16) for $280 last year when I first built my PC

That same kit is $120 now, 1 year down the road

Guess what costs $270 now? Ddr5-8000-2x24Gb (48Gb)

That cycle will repeat at least 1-2 more times only with the 96Gb kits

No, they do. All the initial research that can be found at first indicates that these CPUs will darn near overload circuits because it makes great clickbait, and few people tend to dig further than the surface

It takes being in the right communities or having the hardware yourself for a while along with the willingness to tinker to learn the truth about the matter

The problem is that most people don’t build PCs all the time: They shouldn’t build PCs all the time. But that means they’re not in those communities, especially people building on ~5 year cycles with a bit of sanity

Literally anything

Just go into bios and put an appropriate limiter on it instead of the unlimited stock nonsense

Yeah I’m not doing a 3k industrial on my ram for a daily rig. I’d smash it after an hour with the drone 😅😅🫠

Was considering an A14 or A20 on a custom mount hanging from the top of the case: going into a Fractal Torrent, so no top fans

Long term planning on doing a 3d printed blower style forced air setup like I’ve seen a few people here on Reddit do

Likely not doing anything wrong, but with ddr5, who knows

Get Ram Test and see if it’s stable for a day or two would be my recommendation

If you get errors eventually down the road you’ll be getting blue screens in games, and if severe enough you’ll get a corrupt windows install given enough time
