CPU - Ryzen 9 7950X (FCLK at 2167MHz)
MB - GIGABYTE B650E AORUS MASTER (default PBO)
RAM - 2x16GB Corsair 6200MT/s DDR5 CL36 (running at CL32)
GPU - RX 6900 XT (1125mV 2600MHz core 2100MHz VRAM w/fast timings)
NVMe SSD - 2TB Silicon Power XS70 PCIe 4.0, 2TB ADATA SX8200 Pro PCIe 3.0
PSU - EVGA 1000 P6 Platinum
Case - NZXT H510 Flow
Cooling - be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2 CPU cooler, 2x NZXT F140Q high airflow fans
Couldn't get system to post with BIOS that came with motherboard (memory is on QVL). Had to do the no CPU/RAM BIOS flashback to get the latest BIOS on. After that and some quirkiness with the RAM (memory power down mode must be enabled - seems to be a common theme) system has been perfectly stable. I'm still tweaking and adjusting but very happy with the performance thus far. I purposely went with this air cooler as a separate experiment. So far I've been pleasently surprised. If I bench/stress test the CPU it does get up to 95ºC and throttle, but throughout normal usage (inclidung hours of gaming) no throttling is seen.
I'm still tweaking/adjusting settings. Will come back to this thread with any other quirkiness I discover along the way.
