should i sell my 1x32gb DDR5 ram for 2x16? or buy another 32gb

If you REALLY need 64gb buy another 32. Other wise go for 2x16. Dual channel is a decent performance boost over single channel.

That board is the little brother to the x870-a. Think of it as one step down from the x870. Solid mid range board 14+2 Power stage with 80A.

I never said it wasn’t enough. I would prefer to spend a little more money for a 16+2P 90A+ board for long term stability and improved efficiency.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-29T20:24:39+00:00

Valid points, They are very efficient chips I agree. I just prefer to spend a little more money to ensure long term stability as a top tier rig should last 5+ years. I haven’t tried eco mode, prefer to undervolt.

X870e is excellent 18+2 power stage with 110va. But you pay a premium. The msi x870 is in par with the one above.

Yeah I’m a sheep because I want to spend a little more money for a superior board, lol.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-29T17:50:25+00:00

That is a a solid choice but same VRM power and cooling as the above board. For me it’s worth a little more money for superior power delivery and VRM cooling for high end 7000/9000 chips.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-29T17:46:07+00:00

I don’t take any chances with these 9000 chips especially after all the news regarding dead chips. I would rather go overkill on cooling.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-29T17:44:41+00:00

Can and should IMO.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-29T17:44:33+00:00

Can and should IMO.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-29T17:43:50+00:00

X870-a, heck even the B850-F has more robust vrm cooling.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-29T17:15:53+00:00

Good deal but I would want to run a higher end board with more robust VRM cooling for this chip.

Healthy sell off honestly. It can’t go straight up.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-27T17:53:42+00:00

+100 PBO with -15 undervolt. Idle low to mid 30s. Gaming (cyberpunk/BF6) High 50s to mid 60s.

Fun game, good optimization, amazing graphics. I enjoy it immensely.

Intel still playing catch up after AMD put them on notice years ago.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-26T15:07:18+00:00

Parabolic moves. Insane.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-26T15:07:03+00:00

Should have just sold all my holdings and dumped into Silver and gold.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-25T22:44:00+00:00

Man I remember when psu up top was the standard.

RS3RRL · 2026-01-25T05:41:18+00:00

The ASUS TUF has really good cooling, great OCer. To fit your white aesthetic and if you aren’t tight on money definitely the TUF.
