I’m still super torn between the R5 & the R7 and have a Batch 7 order for the R5.
Can’t make a decision
You can’t change your cpu model after placing your pre-order, i ran into that problem myself.
What will be the usage?
Imho 7 isn’t worth the price difference. I really wanted the extra cores but I find even running VMs the ryzen 5 was solid. Instead I run a minisforum ryzen 7 4800h for running thread heavy applications. It was cheap
Don’t use kryonaut, instead use PTM7950. It’s worth it, given my experience with ryzen 5650u on a ThinkPad T14. Every other tim except for liquid metal is worse than PTM for laptop usage
I’ve never had a problem with Kryonaut and found it an improvement vs. the stock paste on my 12th gen mainboard, so I’m sticking with it for now.
I installed the AMD mainboard last night and repasted with Kryonaut before powering it on for the first time. So far so good.
Agreed
Has anybody ever tried to make a NAS system from an old framework mainboard? Would that work?
no reason for it not to work
Default thermal paste not good though?
It’s probably fine, but when I repasted my 12th gen mainboard with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut I saw a noticeable improvement, so I figured I’d just repaste the AMD while I was poking around with the internals. So far so good.
Can someone run a stock paste cinebench + furmark thermals test and compare to his?
