Pretty much, yes Identical.. But what is a "Cuplex Kryos block", a waterblock ???Got the Asrock Nova board in. Since my block is an AM3+ block, Aquacomputer said I'd need a retrofit kit for the original Cuplex Kryos block.
Question AM4 and AM5 mounting Identical? Looking at getting a Kryos with the vision on it.
Yes Aquacomputer's waterblock series. The vision ones have a water temp and other info shown on the face of the block itself. Plus the spacing is a little wider on the in/out ports.Pretty much, yes Identical.. But what is a "Cuplex Kryos block", a waterblock ???
Lets put this way, its close enough its worth trying to see if it fits. I can't think of a reason it would not work.Yes Aquacomputer's waterblock series. The vision ones have a water temp and other info shown on the face of the block itself. Plus the spacing is a little wider on the in/out ports.
Thank you for the confirmation on mounting.
If you an AM3+ block, sounds like you need a new CPU and motherboard (and maybe memory)My block is an OG AM3+ block, AC said it would need retro fit kit. Decided to update the whole block.
I have an X870E board and some 7200ddr5 ram sitting here waiting for the 9800x3d to arrive.If you an AM3+ block, sounds like you need a new CPU and motherboard (and maybe memory)
What cpu do you have now and what do you do with it ?
Sounds like you are golden ! 2 4 tb drives ??? or does the motherboard not have 2 nvme drive support ?I have an X870E board and some 7200ddr5 ram sitting here waiting for the 9800x3d to arrive.
My current is my sig rig. Mainly play Diablo4 some Last Epoch, and just the very beginning of BG3. Elden Ring won't launch on the 8350.
Storage will probably be in between the waterblock arriving and 9800x3d. Really want a 8TB m.2 but probably settle for 4TB.
5 m.2 slots. BUT, I have a 1x PCIE1 sound card that I intend to use. This board has 1 PCIE5 m.2 1 PCIE5 X16 then 1 PCIE3 x16 and a PCIEx1 slot.Sounds like you are golden ! 2 4 tb drives ??? or does the motherboard not have 2 nvme drive support ?
I bought the DDR5 on impulse, due to a report that flash was going to rise, BS IDK. But it was a 7200 2x16 kit, I figured I could tighten timing or try for more head room. will see.On a second thought, you can run uclk:fclk=1:1 below mclk 8000 since fclk is not fixed at 2000. fclk 1900 will sync with mclk 7600, etc. But vDIMM will still be quite high and I am not sure if it's worth the squeeze.
Having a high speed memory kit is not a bad thing. You will have more flexibility. 7200 rated kit will also likely have some headroom to go higher.I bought the DDR5 on impulse, due to a report that flash was going to rise, BS IDK.

It is a Lexar 7200 XMP/EXPO kit, which someone said was good hynix dies, I don't remember the nomenclature, was on OCN. I think. But after reading some of the success with the 2x24GB kits I may replace. Never watercooled RAM before. I have good airflow anyway.
Have a Teamgroup DDR5-7600 kit. Was able to go as low as DDR5-6000 CL26 on a Z790 12700K PC. Didn't feel any difference in responsiveness but when I saw the boost that Alder Lake got from DDR5-7000 in the Techspot article, decided to choose DDR5-7000 as my final RAM speed.But if I were to buy DDR5 today I'd probably agonize over whether 6000 or 7000 kits (or anything in between) would bring me the best timings at 6000, because I have no idea how these are tested when binned, and the prices are equalizing.
Did you forget this is a Zen 5 builder thread ? nothing to do with the 2 Intel systems you mention.Have a Teamgroup DDR5-7600 kit. Was able to go as low as DDR5-6000 CL26 on a Z790 12700K PC.

Can't find that article at the moment but this shows the benefit of DDR5-6400 with Alder Lake: https://www.techspot.com/review/2862-ddr5-vs-ddr4-gaming/
The point was that higher speed RAM may successfully boot at much lower timings at lower speeds. I was just relating my experience and I think I've seen YT videos of overclockers making CL24 DDR5-6000 work with Ryzens. But yeah, I agree I provided a little bit too much unrelated information. Apologies.Did you forget this is a Zen 5 builder thread ? nothing to do with the 2 Intel systems you mention.
That was the reason I went with Asrock X670E Pro RS, perfect PCIe layout for my usage.5 m.2 slots. BUT, I have a 1x PCIE1 sound card that I intend to use. This board has 1 PCIE5 m.2 1 PCIE5 X16 then 1 PCIE3 x16 and a PCIEx1 slot.
I think the Nova is very similar to this board. I almost picked this one up.That was the reason I went with Asrock X670E Pro RS, perfect PCIe layout for my usage.
1 PCIE5 X16
2x PCIE4 X1
1x PCIE5x4 m.2
3x PCIE4x4 m.2
1x PCIE3x2 m.2
EDIT: M.2 will be either next week, if I can go 8TB, or maybe before on a 4TB.
Any suggestions, on some of the Team Group drives or less expensive ones vs the SS 990 pro or WD Black SNX850 870? I don't recall the secondary number.
