    Hands On with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X "Zen 5" Desktop Processor

    If you mean the X3D versions, AMD maybe will have the luxury to postpone them. OTOH Intel might surprise us and launch really competitive desktop CPUs, at least for performance/power ratio.

    Technically yes, but all the talking was about AM4 platform.

    Patriot Memory Teams Up With MSI for New Viper Xtreme 5 RGB DDR5 MPOWER Memory Series

    Not much of a progress.. 21 Aug 2023 @ir_cow tested a Patriot kit already at 8000MT/s, 1,45v with 38-48-48-84-117 timings (copied from the review). On the other hand if the price is right, why not.

    Would you guys be ok with 70C idle temp on NVME storage.

    Sorry for the late response, only now found some time. 1)Yeah I know it usually has the width of my hand, but some are bigger and can even take a compact GPU, I guess it was worth asking. 2)About power states a NUC should behave like a laptop and allow ASPM, so that the SSD can enter low power...

    Brother bought a house, found some old PC hardware..

    I think this SLI board has a chip fan. IF so, it should be checked whether it's working or not.

    Would you guys be ok with 70C idle temp on NVME storage.

    Personally I wouldn't accept such temps at 19°C ambient not even under load. With the motherboards basic heatsink my Samsung 980 pro reached 55°C under load (in a relatively large case of course, with it's stock fans) and I'm wearing a summer shirt in my office... Since you already use some...

    @TheLostSwede I think CXL memory needs PCIe-5 protocol? Thanks.

    16 GB Memory Mod of Radeon RX 5600 XT Adds 29% Performance

    11% is already higher than rx 5700. 26% is higher than rx 5700 xt. It smells like BS, or after a few days like a burnt GPU due to extreme OC. P.S. The comment is about gaming performance, not synthetic benchmarks. The only useful conclusion is that the GPU was gimped because of the narrower bus...

    XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6000 32 GB CL30

    @ir_cow, 40 mm for "Low Profile" is questionable, I liked that. My G. Skill Trident Z5 is 42mm and the heat spreader does a really good work despite the 1,40v.
