I bought a Ryzen 9 3900x that is supposed to have a clock speed of 3.8 MHz ,but when I check the clock speed I am getting close to 4.5 MHz. I was wondering if this has something to do with the RAM I purchased and if it should be something I am worried about. The system seems stable over the last couple of days. I have not…

ASRock B450M PRO4 vs ASUS TUF B450M-Plus Gaming
This is what happens when I have too much time, I obsess over minutia of motherboard capabilities and features. For now, I have the ASRock slotted as my choice, but I want to be 110% sure about this, because I do see the ASUS is in stock and it's only $10 more than the ASRock and I'm kinda antsy about getting my new PC…

Intel 10th Gen Core processors and side topic about game studdering
