Which 3070? Make sure all power connectors are fully seated. And have you tried DDU? Also that is a very old platform, I know some old boards like to have problems or just die for no reason. Make sure your bios is updated to the latest and vrm/mobo temps are fine. Use HWinfo to check temps. Try a different slot and also manually set the pcie version to the latest possible. Also turn off any pcie related power saving features like ASPM.

We need an actual number for budget, it'll help us determine what you should be getting. I put a 14900k in this list cause it wasn't much more for what is basically the same chip but faster. Also id highly recommend a contact frame if you OC, it's only like $15 from thermalright and helps temps by alot. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ygtxqR i9 with a 4070 isn't the best pairing, id recommend a 4080S/4090 or 7900xtx with that cpu unless whatever games you're playing rely on cpu alot. For productivity maybe it makes more sense but you haven't told us exactly what you're doing. Just "Productivity" doesn't tell us much.

Check gpu clock speed. Cpu speed is fine cause it's locked. Also check less commonly talked about temps like vrm temps, vram temps, etc. with hwinfo. Make sure your system is free of bloatware.

Try changing sample rate/bit depth, usually id recommend 48KHz and the highest bit depth available but bluetooth can't transmit that in uncompressed PCM so im not sure what options it'll show.

-Run as admin -Check "MSI" for everything -Set interrupt priority to undefined for everything -apply -Restart If it doesn't fix your issue it'll at least make stuff faster. I suggested enabling MSI cause when disabled it caused the same issue for me over onboard audio in the past, cause some dumb drivers disabled it by default. MSI_util_v3.exe

I was talking the reasonably achievable speed anyway, not theoretical maximum. I know you can do 7200 but it's probably difficult af to get 100% stable and also probably requires a very good IMC and mobo. Also I know dual rank performs different than single rank.

In gaming maybe but im not sure it compares the same in professional tasks like what OP plans on doing. And if he does get a 13th gen chip like people recommend it'll be even faster. Intel does way better than the 7800X3D in professional tasks that use many cores. Speed doesn't matter for compatibility, not sure what you're trying to say. Also high capacity sticks like what OP needs can't run at nearly the same speed as 32G kits. 6400+ will probably be A-die for 32G kits but im unsure if that applies to higher capacity kits, (Edit: I think it still does apply to 64G kits based on a quick google search).

Id use DDR5 cause you'll be able to carry it over to new builds in the future. LGA 1700 supports it now but the next socket probably wont, AM5 already doesn't support it. Which board are you going to using? A better board will allow for higher ram speeds which helps performance. DDR5 also has 96GB kits if you wanna look into that. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#b=ddr5&S=6400,8400&Z=65536002,98304002 2x32 and 2x48 kits, 6400mhz+, find whatever fits your budget and is from a good brand. Also please get a contact frame, helps thermals alot. Thermalright makes a cheap one for like $15 and it's worth it for the improvement you get. You could go for a 13900KF (saves money over regular K model for functionally the same chip except IGPU), check the pricing in your area and benchmarks online for your exact usecases to see if it's worth the price hike cause I think its a good bit more expensive IIRC.

I had a good experience with the LG UltraGear 27GP950-B. It's one of the cheaper ones im pretty sure and has good color performance at least to me, OLED would be even better but im not sure you can get that in your price range. Can't speak much for HDR performance though cause I never use it. Also avoid the asus tuf gaming 4k 144hz monitor (the VG28UQL1A, other ones probably have similar problems) if you see it cause I think it's one of the more popular ones, I had it but returned it cause it's full of problems. Also use HDMI 2.1 for full bandwidth.

Ryzen struggles with high ram speeds, you need to do some fine tuning to get 6400 to work or you can just do xmp enabled + 6000mhz override.

Make sure the card is fully seated. And also make sure that message signaled interrupts is enabled, cause if it's not it can cause massive latency on pcie devices which causes problems obviously. You can look up how to enable it, there is a tool to do it easily and I can send it if you want.

Find the power rating in amps for each fan and add them together. Most mobo fan headers are rated for 1-3A im pretty sure but I always assume 1A just to be safe if I don't know. But on a high end board like that its probably 2-3A.

What are you using for sound? USB? Onboard audio? Bluetooth? If USB, rollback driver to the included one cause the windows UAC2 driver is already bit perfect capable. If bluetooth, install drivers for your bluetooth/wifi nic. If onboard, install drivers for the audio nic, usually realtek, and do not install the realtek control panel. In all cases disable sound enhancements in the sound control panel for your device and set sample rate to 48KHz and the highest bit depth available. And do not use any third party sound control panels, disable those. Audio crackling and lagging is caused by data transmission or clock signaling issues usually, if you messed with anything related to that then it may be the cause of the problem. Also use latencymon to see if there is any process causing massive DPC latency which can cause audio problems.

Drivers maybe then. If its a motherboard wifi/bluetooth module then you should be able to find drivers on the website of whoever made the module (probably intel or realtek). Also you can try completely resetting the device, find the headset in device manager, uninstall it, and then reconnect it. Also what are your system specs?

Does it have this problem with other devices/operating systems? Windows doesn't handle bluetooth very well cause it doesn't support certain codecs and also bluetooth is prone to artifacts like this if your connection is bad. Make sure there is no weird power saving stuff enabled for your bluetooth module and also that enhancements are off in the sound settings. Just switch to a wired pair of headphones, it wont have this problem and it'll sound much better anyways. I never recommend bluetooth audio cause of stuff like this.
