So.. I have a contact frame ready to go, I needed the TIM before I sacked up and bought a 40g tube.. :laugh:

I was thinking about getting this board:

Does what I need I think

CPU will be a 9800X3D.. so not a hard load to drive, even with PBO +200 I would think.

Memory will probably be Royals.. not sure yet.. have to piece this together over a couple of months like I did with AM4.

This board will get handed down as I phase out AM4 here at home.

I have case, PSU, a few NVME, GPU.. everything really. Just doing a platform swapperoo.

As with AM4, I have not looked into AM5 at all because I want to keep it a surprise lol..

But I just have a keyboard, mouse, and a usb stick that I use to install windows.. my needs are pretty basic I think..

After I get the new system installed, new GPU's should be available :D

If you are gonna do what you usually do with memory, no way jose. Absolutely not G.skill. Get literally anything with decent heatspreaders.

Definitely shop around for the board. Asus is really milking it these days. Not the C8 days anymore

Right?

My Strix B550 -F was a pretty stripped down board, but I was ok with it, and it was a hella good clocker. I think I might get this one.

Edit:

Just saw your post bro.. I will check out MSI.. and AsRock too I guess..

Dam u Asus.
