I got up enough money to buy a new PC since my last one died about a year ago. Should be putting it together the fist part of July.
So, can you tell me what you think?
ASRock Z790 PG RIPTIDE Intel LGA1700.
Intel Core i7-14700K.
Kingston Fury Renegade 96GB (2 x 48GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000.
Gigabyte RTX 4070ti.
Seasonic VERTEX GX-1000, 1000W 80+ Gold, ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 Ready Power Supply.
4x - Solidigm P41 Plus 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe Gen4 Internal Solid State Drive.
HT-Omega eClaro PCI Express x1 Sound card
PCI Express x1 - 2 Port 2.5GB Ethernet Card
Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case.
Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. C CPU Air Cooler, 120mm Single Tower, Black Edition.
4x - Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-2000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 2000 RPM (140mm, Black) For Case.
2x - Iceberg Thermal IceGALE Lightning ARGB Gen 2 120mm Case Fan For CPU Heatsink
Plus what I already have:
5 - 6TB SATA hard drives
2 - 1TB SATA SSDs
1 Blu-Ray Burner thanks to the optical bays on the case (why I like the case)
Would love to add a PCI Express SATA Controller but with the Intel motherboards I am lucky to get 2 PCI express 1x, 8x SATA Ports and 4 M.2 Slots without some other ports deactivated. like I have seen in all other 1700 Z790 board out there and Its why I like this board. Some boards will deactivate M.2 slots if you use all of you SATA or if you use all you M.2 slots you lose 2 SATA ports and that kind of nonsense
I know that the Intel Core i7-14700K runs VERY hot so I been watching YouTube videos and for the ASRock mobo I will use the following settings for the CPU:
TJM = 90c
PL1-PL2 = 225
OFFSET Mode with an OFFSET of 0.100V
LLC = 3 for both
And the 2 Iceburg 120mm fans go up to 2,200 RPM, and delivers 76.74 CFM of airflow for the CPU Heatsink.
Should rot run higher than 85c at full load. I know I will lose A tiny bit of performance but I hate seeing a CPU get up too 100 on some cores and will gladly trade some performance for a cooler CPU. Besides where I live it gets up to triple digits in the summer and all I have is fans to keep the place cool.
One long post becomes longer every time I edit. Sorry about that.
Also, sorry If I come off like I am bragging, just want to see if people like this setup.
