On second thought the Verbatim has a 2 year warranty compared to Crucial's 5 year warranty. I would much rather the security of the 5 yr warranty to be honest.

You can also try Curve Optimizer (along with PBO). Its under Advanced/AMD Overclocking. It will help undervolt and you can override the max boost clock. Just look up guides on youtube or something. On my 5800X I have the curve optimizer set to all core -18, and the boost clock set to +50, meaning it will boost to 4.85GHz single core in stead of the stock 4.8, and it reduced the temps by ~10C The Auto tuner tool is also a manual OC, it just (poorly) automates the finding-what-works part. And manual OC on Ryzen is basically worthless unless you only does heavily multithreaded work.

Thanks for looking into this! I was just about to post if anyone else has been getting lower points lately. Though it was just my PC since I had a WP die and had some heating issues since

Are you sure that Gigabyte PSU is safe these days? Also single channel 16GB probably won't cut it for RAM-heavy games like Rust, and is also leaving a lot of performance on the table since it's not dual channel. And I also noticed that you downgraded the SSD to PCIe 3. Will that be a noticeable difference and is it worth the performance loss?

Yes if your other motherboard used Legacy Boot.

I'm using a r5 7600 and even if I do upgrade in a future, I'm not planning on getting an 165W CPU and overclocking it. But I agree with everything else you've said. Also is it bad that I want the PG Lightning because I want my build to be all black? Also the PG Lighning has PCIE 5.0 SSD compatibility if I want to upgrade in the future.

Make sure CPU sites correctly in socket, I would check for bent pins. Close the lid and make sure it sits correctly before closing the arm.

Yeah, the mod is to the CPU, drawing a trace between a couple pins. You can use a pencil, or any other conductive material. There are a couple videos on it. Though, given where games are at and the 9xxx cores not being all that much faster than the 7xxx ones, unless a hyperthreaded quad core isn't gonna cut it, I'd probably just stick with a 7700k. People also want stupid money for 9900ks on ebay, and for the cost of one you could just get a 5600 and a cheap board, making this whole effort pointless. I'd stick with the cheapest option possible that'll get the job done, which would be a 7700 or 7700k.

I'd like the system to be very quiet, so a stock cooler wouldn't do it for me.

LGA sockets put a ton of force on the CPU to ensure proper contact. If the CPU is properly installed, which yours appears to be, it's fine. (It made me very uncomfortable the first time too)

it comfortably turbos to 4.5ghz and stays there. I don't remember right now while I'm away from the system if that's a default turbo or if it's being OC'd through the ASUS bios. I'm not using afterburner or anything right now. If I went for further overcloccking I'd want to invest in more cooling. the 7600k is usually 80-85°c under load. more case fans might be sufficient, I have bare minimum right now. the CPU cooler is a pretty tall cooler master heat sink, it might also be more effective with an extra/replacement fan. potentially a cheap solution. my case just isn't really designed for great airflow though.

OP is saying there needs to be a Decline button/option to say I don't want cookies though.

It's my first time installing an Intel CPU and when I pull the retention arm down it's marking the CPU and requiring a lot of force? Can someone advise me if what I'm doing is right. The triangles are aligned and it's in the right way.

@ID0 Wanted to clarify: Are you powering the AirCube-ISP via PoE from the ER-X's passthrough PoE output? If so, are you powering the ER-X with the 12V/0.5A power adapter that came in box?

It says "Accept and dismiss", meaning basically: "I accept your cookies, now get this pop up out of my sight"

It says Accept and Dismiss, not decline. It means you click accept and the popup goes away ( dismissing it )

dude, custom water cooling is usually assembled for your processor, air cooling is just ridiculous for it

That hasn't been my experience. About 6 years ago, I installed LED retrofit pot lights like these: Yes the entire fixture is disposable, but they still look and work like new. The diodes are spread out over a relatively large surface that acts like a big heat sink. For 4-foot fluorescent fixtures, those replacement LED tubes are great. Some just drop right in, but the more efficient ones make you bypass the ballast and connect the tombstones right to line voltage. Those will never take a conventional tube again, but I have no intention of running those. But yeah, replaceable bulbs are generally better so long as you run LED bulbs that are rated for enclosed fixtures. Not all of them are, and the ones that aren't will cook themselves.

Hi there, there is an error on lttstore.com It says "Accept & Dismiss" but as far as I know ther needs to be also a decline one.

that's compelling. I'll look into that. does it still run the 7600k afterwards so I can wait to see if I'm successful before buying a 9x00? My PC fell off my desk in the past and has weird power delivery issues to the I/O ever since, but the the power delivery for the CPU and GPU have been unaffected. would you be comfortable modding it in my shoes, given that potential past damage? Thanks a bunch for the alternative options.

I'll give that a go and see if anything changes. I'll let you know if it gives any promising results! Thank you!

I had the same thoughts although like I mentioned, this particular part seems to be a revised/upgraded version of the P750GM which has the bad rep. Maybe I will just switch it out for something like a Corsair RM750
