I have happily settled on this suggestion and purchased these. Thank you so much for your insight guys! After a little bit of research I found that this motherboard, when using an X3D processor, needs to have its BIOS updated. I have never done this but by the looks of it it seems fairly...

I believe I am planning to settle on upgrading to AMD with the new Mobo and the DDR5s, as it is quite future safe as well and probably money well-spent for the future (tho if im gonna upgrade this it'll just be the GPU hahaha) The choice being the 7800X3D is clear and the price points right now...

So from what I can gather there is concerns regarding the Motherboard (on top of me not being exactly happy about having to use an adapter to use my M.2 SATA SSD..). So far I haven't had many problems with heat, the Noctua I have is putting in a whole lotta work and my case has 3 front case...

Does Intel happen to have any 3D Cache processors? BDO performs faaar better with 3D Cache processors and even while, after looking at some benchmarks, the i9 you suggested seems to be similar or even better than the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, is lacking the 3D Cache. Is there an affordable...

Sorry I didn't mean to be confusing; the copy pasted PCpartpicker list is my current loadout.

Approximate Purchase Date: this weekend in light of Black Friday / Cyber Monday Budget Range: Up to ~700€, if absolutely needed and/or very worth could be more System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Streaming Are you buying a monitor: No Parts to Upgrade: CPU (therefore potentially...

does someone have any ideas? :coldsweat:

This is what each RAM stick plugged into Slot 4 on their own look like right after startup. Doesn't look like they're damaged to me or are they? idk why but for some reason half the RAM is usually always occupied.

I see, I will try this method to see if anything is broken and let you know what I find

I plugged them into slots 2 and 4 (slot 4 being the one furthest from the CPU), which seemed right according to the motherboard manual. Did I misinterpret the labeling perhaps?

Hello everyone, this is my setup: CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F 2.5 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte B660 GAMING X AX DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory Video Card: Zotac Twin Edge OC...

Multi-Score I got 11793 pts, which is along those lines. Single Core I got 1570 pts, also nearby. Looks like it's fine. Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with these as I've only been manually overclocking so far and haven't thought about the When running the benchmark on Multicore it reached a maximum...

That's very reassuring, thank you so much for the great explanation!

Hey again, my parts arrived and I have just installed everything etc. Now I ran into some issues.. is it true that the i5-12400F cannot be overclocked with the motherboard I now own? (Gigabyte B660 Gaming X DDR4) I bought the CPU thinking I could reach the shown clock speed of 4.4 GHz easily...

I used a i5-9600k overclocked to 4.9 GHz before this one. Now that I can't overclock this new one, is this one still better than my old overclocked one? I'm worried I made a purchase mistake.
