Right, somehow forgot that I don't use Nvidia card now.

Absolutely agree 😄

I'd trust @Somerandomtechyboi, when he speaks about RAM it looks like hieroglyphics to me, so he probably knows what he's talking about.

is ram oc really that confusing? all i see is a bunch of timings i can tighten or loosen depending on if im trying to get max performance or just doing frequency runs and some voltages that affect the rams
 
though i guess theres also lots of ics and lots of platfroms with varying oc capabilities from trash to really good and you have to dig around to know what the hardware is capable of or just buy the hardware try it for yourself which resulted in me getting 3400 ddr3 on 45nm bloomfield of all things with ambient cooling
 
dual rank outperforming single rank abit is just general knowledge though it has a lesser effect on ddr5 compared to ddr4 and ddr3
 
i mainly focus on frequency shenanigans so ram performance wise i only have a really basic idea with freq > timings and timings wise tertiares > secondaries > primaries alongside general knowledge like dual rank > single rank and more trefi = better, ill explore actually getting good ram performance in depth when i get interested in benching

Huh, TIL RAM Speed Groups
https://www.crucial.in/support/memory-speeds-compatability

Again, these are gonna be *really* similar in performance, but the Corsair sticks have a slightly higher base speed grade

Personally I'd go with corsair just because I have run a lot of their dimms and they've always handled RMA well, but freal, don't stress, it won't matter much

corsair as its dual rank so abit of a performance boost over the teamgroup clock for clock
 
an exception would be if you are gonna run on an amd apu then youd wanna go for the teamgroup unless you can verify that the corsair is samsung d die (capable of ~4600) and not shitty c die or even unbinned b die that definitely wont clock past 4000

Welcome to the forums!
The TeamGroup kit has tighter timings, but both are gonna perform very similarly

FreeSync Premium Pro is still fantastic from what I hear

Rtings leans towards the AW

Doesn't the alienware have 360hz vs the LG's 240?

The Taichi also has an overkill VRM, that's true, but the Aorus Master ended up 4C cooler in Hardware Unboxed's testing.
With that said, had the OP given the Taichi as an option, I would have mentioned it. The difference is small enough that the two are basically equivalent in terms of the VRMs.

X670e Pro Art is the most interesting, its got some extra features like USB4 and type-c with 60W PD from the front header (with the use of the 6pin nearby the 24pin).
 
VRM is nice and all, but the 7950x3D is at most a 150W CPU.
 
I got the X670e Aorus Master because I already had a Gigabyte 4090, who's included anti-sag bracket was designed around that series of motherboards. It was totally worth buying a motherboard around. I also like the fact that it has a backplate, which comes from my mITX days where that actually matters.

I wish I didn't go X670E simply because I could and thought it would be cool. The lighter weight B650 boards seem to boot faster. My completely unverified assumption is the lack of the second chipset saves a few seconds during POST. 
 
X670E Taichi would like a word. 😄
 
 

I dont think I understand your question.
 
Do you want an offline installed game or something?

Decent price, considering the SSD prices rose in the early 2024.

It's enough.

In Disk Management, you can create a dynamic volume combining two drives - OR, you can mount one in the NTFS volume of the other.
 

Slap the AIO on. No harm in using it if it’s just sitting in a box

AIO can't really hurt, that's for sure.

I tried the 2nd slot, got a D6 error on my motherboard (no graphics card detected) i closed my pc again, made sure that the cables were connected properly, turned it on again and got the same error. I put the gpu back on the first slot and for the third time, got a D6 error for a bit but then it got fixed by itself. Oh well, i got to do a little cleaning.

The fitment was a bit too tight aswell (i think) because i heard the fans hit some of the motherboard cables at the initial power up.

yeah what I meant is id rather spend more money on a better panel than more money on higher refresh rate if that makes sense
