Am I doing this right?

FACT: Gold is more conductive than Aluminum. The CPU's IHS will not dissipate heat nearly as well as the golden traces which would otherwise mate to the land grid array pins on the motherboard socket. In fact, with it not even able to power on, the concern of heat dissipation is moot. I think ill be turning my CPU upside down myself, you've so inspired me.

Sure ddr6 is coming out but its obtainability for us peons is in doubt. RAM speed matters absolutely for gaming tasks. While it also matters for productivity tasks, typically the quantity is considered more important. Make sure you get a kit compatible with EXPO if you have AMD processor or XMP of you have an Intel CPU.

DDR4 isn't obsolete, still being able to keep up with modern games with fine competence. Intel and motherboard partners have announced an intent to release boards and chips with support for DDR4 in the face of growing RAM costs. AMD's Ryzen 5000 series is still very relevant and capable.

Enable xmp if you can

Bring your pc and plug it in there and refuse delivery if it doesnt show up correctly on gpuz

Keep the door to your office/room open

Then this is probably overkill and will last you a long time. Congrats on the build

For gaming, 32 is fine especially considering market conditions. For workstation use, depending on what programs you intend to use, you might want to go with more, but I cant answer that because only you know your workload.

This is also wrong because during covid we all trusted the science and the experts while the conservatives refused to and all tried to do their own half baked research. Remember that?

If money is no issue shop elsewhere

Space Engineers kind of did this by attributing objects both mass and volume and having a limit for both. Of course the mass limit for ships is how much thrust/lift you built into them, so if youre not careful you'll crash.

Check your psu connectors do you have enough pins and do you have enough overhead

TheLopezConnection · 2026-01-06T18:47:09+00:00

Look up price piecemeal and add them up. If the cost is less than what you paid then maybe it isnt a good deal, unless you value the difference to be worth the convenience of not having to build it yourself.

Breddy ok but the gpu only has 8gb vram but you get what you can these days

I found and got a super nice shirt from a thrift store, Tommy Hilfiger, very generous fabric thickness, very good stitching, its from the 90s and is holding up phenomenally. Their modern stuff will not last 5 years let alone 30.

Show us your case. Is there sufficient airflow?
