Hi all.
I’ve bought a Rog Strix B650e-f. Building a cool/quiet PC with these components. Mostly productivity, coding, some video/photo editing, and some gaming.
- Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B650E-F
- CPU: Ryzen 7900 (65W)
- GPU: GTX 1070
- Noctua NH-U12S Cooler
- Team T-CREATE EXPERT 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000
- Optane 905P 960gb
- Solidigm P44 Pro 2TB
- WD Red Plus 3TB (old files)
- Seasonic 750W PSU (re-using)
- Lian-li Quiet case and noctua fans
Questions:
1. I've heard a lot of issues with various BIOS versions... is there still a worry? Which BIOS is the most stable (the latest 3014)?
2. What settings should I use for the RAM (Expo or XMP)?
3. What BIOS settings to adjust for best reliability, fast boot (DDR5 issues?)
4. Which Asus software to install, which ones NOT to install?!
5. I want it to run cool/quiet unless demand requires higher power (video encoding, gaming), what's best way to setup
6. I can do either Windows 10 or 11... any reason NOT to do 11?
Thank you all!
