Full ATX size with 1DPC layout ASUS has the best bios interface compared to others 9950X3D able to achieve 5.9 GHZ stable and 8000 speeds and semi-tight timings, matching my previous intel setup
Why did I pick this? I was intrigued by this so I bought it. Sure, its pricier than most pastes. There is a thick plastic side and a thin plastic side. I cut the piece to size and used a sharp utility knife to pre-peal the thin plastic side and fold the corner. I wiped the die with the enclosed alcohol pad, pealed the thick plastic side, centered the pad, used the spatula to press it down and then grabbed the pre-folded edge of the thin plastic to remove. It wasnt too bad. I dont know if it works better as I have not compared it to regular thermal paste but I am satisfied that I got an appropriate amount between the CPU and the cooler.
Comes with WiFi 6 module!
Overclocks well but beware, some am5 procs have a heat issue. AMD is limiting this issue through bios AGESA parameters - including xmp and expo ram profiles. Luckily I have not had any problems with the 7600x or the 7900x3d installed on my b650 pg lightning MB. I use ddr5 pc6000 overclocked to 6200. The 7600x was overclocked via ryzen master to a peak of 5.2 Ghz (all cores) without reaching Tj max. The 7900x3d cannot be overclocked via ryzen master. Its temperatures do run a little lower with its peak clock reaching 5.6 Ghz. The MB handles these two processors faultlessly with the appropriate bios.
