Going to get 7950X on day 1 for my Linux Kernel 6.0 build (and Win11 for MATLAB/Rhapsody etc.)
R9 7950X
2x 32GB G.Skill TridentZ5 Neo 6000 CL30 or lower
4x Next gen PCIe5 M.2 SSD
Passive X670E ATX board ( I had good experiences on MSI/ASUS and Gigabyte so not sure what to go with, but probably Aorus Master or MSI Ace)
Finally I can remove GPU. (Might add later if I want to try out something on ROCm 5.x but probably will use it on my Zen3 machine or another Zen 4 box)
First thing to do is make sure my 7950X will operate at 105W or thereabouts.
I don't know if anyone is aware if there are any PCIe5.0 M.2 with higher IOPS than the 990 Pro
I need 4x NVME w/ PCIe 5.0, 1x Win11 and 1x Linux boot drives
And 2x NVME SSD in RAID 0 for the primary build drive under Linux
