The system in my original post is my current system. That motherboard I bought in 2018, and I have no complaints in system performance or capability. I don't see the benefits of PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 for my use cases, and I don't seek the highest frames, because frames are sufficient to not notice a...

It could; however, if power usage is your concern, modifying your GPU's power limits and/or under-clocking your CPU and GPU would be more effective. Your GPU may have a "Silent BIOS" switch on it for a quick and easy way to reduce your power usage depending on the application.

It's difficult to find a replacement CPU/Mobo/RAM combo to replace this. If I were going to upgrade, AMD has some clear choices. However, if I did want to go Intel, the choice seems somewhat difficult due to the problems 14th-gen has had (are they still an issue? is 14th-gen long in the tooth...

Hello! I would ensure proper GPU power connectivity from PSU and reset BIOS to factory defaults and try again.

From where did you purchase this?

Where are you located/buying from? The 4070 S is currently selling for $999+ in the US.

Does your bios give you voltage ranges? If so, what are they? Any of them in the red? What are the complete system specs?

Typically, yes. However, RAM speeds past the CPU specs are considered overclock (OC) and are not guaranteed to work. However, most people are able to utilize RAM speeds past the CPU specs. How much past? All depends on the CPU/Mobo/RAM combination. Finding the common middle-ground is usually the...

That RAM maybe giving you issues. Try booting with only 1x DIMM (module) installed.

Might as well tell us your complete specs. May have an incompatible CPU in that motherboard.

Yes, they should be compatible. Are you connecting your monitor to the newly installed GPU? Have you changed any BIOS settings? Have you connected the 8-pin power cable to the GPU?

Did you press Y to install new CPU? That's normal.

Hello, If you have the funds, then AM5 is the better way to go. You should see a nice performance boost. Maybe look into some faster RAM, although I'm not familiar with DDR5 performance variance across transfer speed. What is the exact model PSU? When was it purchased?

Don't see much on reviews for some of these units. Anyone know if any of these PSUs would be a better/worse choice over the other for this system? CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Thermalright Assassin King SE ARGB 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M...

Do you already own all the SSDs? If not, I would select a larger capacity SSD instead of the 2x 1TB.
