If you really care about latency, PS2 port and CRT's are what you should be using.

My table is my open air test bench, haha.

I typically just have my motherboards on a desk for temporary testing. Good airflow and easy to store away.

Go ahead and compare a hardware specifcation to a timing spec... A-XMP and others try to finess the profile to work with AMD's memory controller, but it doesn't always get it right. Hence why some RAM is tuned more for one CPU or another. Long story short, Intel's spec favors Intel's memory controller. Err... you mean a 3rd Gen Ryzen. My Ryzen 7 1700X does not like memory speeds above 3400 MHz.

XMP is an Intel specification. Accept JEDEC speeds, or manually OC the memory to rated speed.

Sure, but we can't guarantee it will run at those speed, or have any benefit over 3866 MHz.

What BIOS version does it show when you boot it up with the i3-10100?

A lot of motherboards of that vintage don't have SATA. I personally use one for a Pentium III machine, making it easy to interchange it with more modern machines (And to use cheap SATA SSD's... but keep in mind 98SE doesn't support TRIM.)

Windows 11 does not support Skylake or Kaby Lake. I wouldn't try installing an already buggy OS on an unsupported platform. Windows 10 support is good for another 4 years. You have lots of time to enjoy your build.

No. It's an AMD Zen 2 SoC. Proton can't translate across architectures, either.

You can always use your own keys for Secure Boot if you really want to, though I highly reccomend just diabling it. Keep in mind, Fedora and others support of it breaks as soon as you load in any third part modules, for example: Nvidia drivers. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot

Most laptops don't offer fan control to programs like Afterburner.

Using 12 V only raises the heater element to 1.44 W, enough to make the resistor warm but nowhere near enough power to be useful. You'd actually be better off using the peltier as a heat pump when in heating mode, as it will generate more heating power than the heater itself. The PSU will generate some heat while in use, but this varys wildly by model.

Ensure the file directory itself has access for rwx on all users?
