So i just got my hands on a nice 5900x and a fairly good board. (asus b550-f). I installed a beefy aio setup (arctic freezer push-pull with 6 fans as intake) (room temp is really cold where i live). Since i didn't have a sleeved 4pin cpu cable i ONLY connected the 8pin for the cpu. When idling the cpu clocks to goddamn 4.55ghz. Wtf. When gaming it stays at 4.55 ghz, when rendering (100% on all cores) it drops to 4.3 It runs fairly cold at 50-60°C while gaming and 70°C on all-core load. Now i am wondering whether i could push it even higher by

I like to use windows and i like to use linux. I need to switch often. I am sick of having to go to the bios every time i want to switch. I also don't want a boot manager asking me to select a drive every time i want to boot. I want some little switch i can set to either "windows drive | linux drive". Some kind of sata switch if you will. Do you know if such products exist?

Is this mobo good enough?
Allptraum1989 replied to Allptraum1989's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
They cost basically the same. Margin of about $6. Great! Seems like the tomahawk it is -

B550 asus strix $180 vs x570 msi tomahawk wifi $185 -

So a "high-end" b550 board in price range of $160-175 is better than a low-end $180 x570? -

Ok thanks -
Don't want to cram so much information in the title. Talking about an ASUS ROG Strix B550-F. I'm most concerned about the VRMs. I plan on using a Ryzen 5900x with a slight overclock because it got good cooling. It should still be stable. I've heard that x570 boards are workstation boards. But my rig kinda is a workstation. Sometimes i game, sometimes i do renders in blender, video editing, stuff that really loads the cpu. What do you think? Should i go for this or rather a cheap x570 such as the msi tomahawk?

I know there isn't for gaming, but is there any noticeable difference between booting from a SATA ssd and an nvme (either gen3 or gen4)? I am currently planning on an upgrade including a complete re-install and am contemplating whether or not to get a system nvme with it. I currently boot off a samsung evo 860 2tb (which still takes about a minute)

Any improvements on my airflow?
Allptraum1989 replied to Allptraum1989's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Very good idea! Side exhaust. Top in, Bottom in, side exhaust. That way i still have fresh air for my cpu! -

I see. I thought there was one included. Then i'd mount it vanilla-style. Then i could put in exhaust fans. -

Thanks! Sadly, the oc11 has no rear-fan mount. There is plenty space between the gpu fans and the glass. I don't think i can mount bottom fans below the gpu. I think it sits on the fan-mount. I could (most likely) place one to the right of the gpu. I don't have the case yet, hence the uncertainty. -

Wouldn't this blow hot air through the radiator? -

"Hot air rising" vs fans is like a toddler trying to stop a car by blowing on it. I don't want to suck hot air through my AIO radiator and i want my pump below it
