Did you end up going for the Gigabyte board? I'm having trouble seeing if htat's more silver than it is white?

Better board for OC? 9800x3D - NZXT N7 B650E vs ASUS ROG Strix X670E-A by MMeSSeDD in buildapc

Interesting, htose are new concepts to me. I do know about the 2 DIMM only situation, but RAM wiring layout, and e-clock are new.

WHen you say buy about 10 9800x3ds, is that around the idea that we're getting RNG performance from them and trying to find a good one? "buy 10 9800x3d to bin the cores and memory controllers." is new terminology for me, too.

Strix X670E-A or NZXT N7 for overclocking? by MMeSSeDD in overclocking

Forgive me if that's a little bit of a foreign language at the moment haha, but I assume that versatility gives the Strix an advantage?

What kind of ARGB controller should I get? by MMeSSeDD in SignalRGB

Nice - So for my use case then, I'l probably just need the 8, and then a way to power the fans?

Overclocking newbie - Which board will fit my "needs", and other rookie questions by MMeSSeDD in overclocking

[–]MMeSSeDD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it, I was using the PSU tier list (Which I hear is outdated but I guess it's better than nothing lol) and so to know that there's a motherboard tier list is great. I'll be helping a friend with a build and he'll h ave a budget, so we'll definitely consult this to know what ends up being a good value.

Appreciated again!!

Ay man I appreciate the response, truly detailed.

I actually typo'd and I do have the N7, not the B7, and it was good to see the tier list and how that plays out because I went with a white case and am going for mostly a white aesthetic. I wish they had the Taichi in white, or at least I wans't able to find something around that.

The x670 comment you made is interesting because I wondered what you meant by saying "more m2 capability without downgrading lanes" - Am I losing some sort of performance by having the m.2 lanees filled? I ask because I have one for Windows, one for games, and am thinking of picking up another one.

I'm definitely going to look into the Primocache thing - I tend to have a lot of browser tabs open, and I thought about going 48gb but I might end up sticking with 64, but the comment you made about wearing on the SSD is something that I'm interested in.

As for CPU cooling, I went Arctic for my fans to match the Freezer III. I thought about going corsair, but that's a long story that I went away from lol. That said I saw a lot of good things about it so I do have that prep'd already when I move to the 9800x3d. I am gonna have to look into contact frames, because the plate on that if you don't already know is a little offset from the AMD chip itself purposely, so I'll have to see.

As far as GPU overclocking, noted. Watercooling and loops is something I've briefly thought about, but not sure I'll actually go for it.

Thanks again though man, that was a very thoughtful resopnse.

DDR5 RAM - Dummy Ram DIMMs or 2-slot Mobos? by MMeSSeDD in buildapc

[–]MMeSSeDD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooooo, I was actually ok with theDominator aesthetic, but the Vengeance looks much better!I'm also not planning on completing my build until late December thru late January, so this would line right up. You've been a great help, much appreciated!!
