Just looking to try somethin new, nothing wrong at all with my rig. I'm aware new chips are coming, I've been drooling over the new motherboards for both AMD and Intel brands. I'm eventually moving from my 4090 to a 5090 at the same time I'm wanting to min/max the benefits of the GPU as I play in 4k on a LG C4 and wanting to have my framerate stay a solid 144fps in the more demanding titles without turning down the graphics. Realistically I don't need to change anything 14700k, with a Aorus Z690 Ultra and DDr5 6200, me upgrading to a new MB, CPU, and Higher frequency memory might get me a whole 20 fps lol.

I'm more familiar with intel currently, so I'm looking for some feedback on how AMD operates. My preference is a new x870/e board currently, mostly looking at the Asrock Nova or Taichi Lite as it seems the PCI lane layout is great on those. I understand that the 7800x3d and x670 boards don't have much stability with memory speeds above 6000-6400mhz, would this change slapping a 7800x3d in a x870 board? What temps can I expect from an AMD chip using a 360mm AIO during gaming/benchmark sessions?

I just moved to a tower 600 case, and its a little warmer than a standard case lay out, so I do want a slightly cooler running chip. 14700k hits 80C on occasion in benchmarks using a 360mm Phanteks with D30s. I'm slowly reducing those temps as i adjust fan curves and fan lay out, I did drop it to 72C , previous case was running 64C.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
