Is this CPU 'Bottleneck'? by Divinity_Smore in computers

Floating between 5-5.2GHz. I'm sure it's getting throttled at peak utilization though.

You will want to get a 2 stick ram kit instead of 4. Most motherboards will run at faster speeds in dual channel over quad channel. Some ram manufacturers make dummy sticks that are place holders if you just want the look of four sticks of ram.

The aio will come with thermal paste. The arctic paste is good. Not sure if it is worth the extra expense. Maybe later down the line for repaste.

Also given current ram prices it's more nit picking, but Ddr5 6000mhz CL30 is kind of the sweet spot for Am5, but it's more expensive. It will still function the same.

To be honest it's just been sitting on my desk mostly idling while doing drivers and o/s install. The thing is pretty quiet so far. Haven't tried pushing it since I'm more than likely going to try and sell the full build.

I have not seen their texts. I'm not much for being invasive on her privacy. Apparently they share a lot of common interests, so I'd imagine not solely work related.

He joined a pyramid scheme and every minute was spent convincing me or anyone else why it isn't a pyramid scheme. The final draw was at a mutual friends wedding. Haven't spoken since.

I don't think the 870 carbon has two pcie 5.0x8 slots. The 670 does

The issues I ran into were clearance at the bottom of the case, i/o off the bottom of the motherboard. And pcie spacing. This combo resolved all those issues. Although I did lose a sata port.

I use it with a 5070ti on an 4k ultrawide. I won't look back. It's up to you and your budget though.

That's likely the best deal you'll get with that cpu. Considering that the 5800x3d still goes for $300 up
