    Question Motherboard memory speed compatibility - AM5 DDR5

    Thanks for the input guys. For memory, the price doesn't seem that different for 7000+ only about 100 bucks more. I guess some C32 6400 will do just fine as I am not interested in synthetics. Seems like niche market if its that way. Good to know there is a possibility it could work. I thought...

    Question Motherboard memory speed compatibility - AM5 DDR5

    Hello, How do I know which motherboard will work with high memory XMP speeds (7000+)? Official support for max CPU memory speed are always very low. Let's say the mobo specs say: Support for DDR5 6666(OC) - can you go beyond this? I don't see any mbs supporting DDR5 7000+.... so which ones...

    Driverless (nano) network adapter

    I thought so as well, Windows 10 is pre-installed with alot of drivers which is convenient. I rather want to be sure it will work before buying one even though they are relatively cheap. For example: - TP-Link Archer T1U - TP-Link TL-WN725N - Asus USB-N10 NANO I wonder if Windows 10 has these...

    CPU FAN1 always running at full power

    I just installed a new CPU fan 'Cooler Master SickleFlow 120' on my Scythe Mugen Rev.B combined with my MSI Z170A motherboard. And that fan seems to be always running at 100% (2000+-RPM). No matter what I do in the BIOS or MSI command center and it doesn't change a thing even the graph doesn't...
