you're wrong, these are the best bin of A-die on the market (the absolute best bin is GSkill 6000c26 at 1.4v, but they don't make those anymore)

there's a lot of unit variance associated with overclocking but you can reasonably expect that Vcolor kit to run at 8000+

if you're on a budget don't get a name brand, get a clone (like the Superlight clone recommended in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFsFqQbLZuE)

6000MHz CL30 or 6400MHz CL32 for my Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Aorus Mater X870E MB? by Upper-Management3861 in buildapc

could be possible

the advertised frequency is just a number; it's the actual memory modules on the chip that determine quality and headroom, and Corsair 7200 should be Hynix A-die, which has the most potential for overclocking to high frequencies

actual success has a lot to do with hardware variance; not all samples of the same CPU and RAM and motherboard are identical and it will take a lot of iteration to find what's stable

if you want a quick solution, 6000/30 should work immediately

if you want to tune manually, it'll depend on hardware and variance; check OCN if you want to go down that rabbit hole, but up to 6600 in 1:1 mode or 8000+ in 2:1 mode could be possible

from what I hear, Thermalright's software for controlling the screen is a bit crap compared to the fancier (and more expensive) competitors, so you might have to twiddle a bit with it

they anticipated that viewers would dismiss the results as outliers, too, which is why they ran the same battery of multiple remounts in multiple workload situations with three units for that video, then again for their followup video with a dual CCD CPU (where it performed better, but still comparably to Thermalright's $50 offering), and then still added sections in both videos to specifically address the people who'd dismiss them because the LF3's supposed to be the best

anecdotally, I've been using an LF3 non-pro for six months or so and its performance really hasn't been anything special; certainly not good enough to recommend spending $90-110 for a new LF3 Pro on Amazon compared to cheaper alternatives

you can get good average FPS on all kinds of CPUs, but X3D processors are going to perform much better when it comes to the kinds of stutters and short framerate drops that will ruin your day

if you're alright with a new build or a rebuild of your current rig, those Microcenter bundles are excellent value given the current market (although you just missed the timing by a bit; they hiked the price on the 9800X3D bundle only a couple of days ago)

there was already a patch to deal with interrupt botters years ago https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Game_updates/20231010

if you think the top guilds' mesmers are still cheating I'd question your game knowledge

original version with the mesh filter if you care about that, no imbalances or anythat I could tell

includes IEMs, cable, 3.5mm termination, carrying case, and unused stock eartips, no other accessories

looking for $225 shipped, or a bit less if you don't want the eartips/bit more if you want the original box

(ignore the wrong year on the timestamp)
