CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X3D
Mainboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI
GPU: Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX Gaming OC 24GB
I had to switch from the Ryzen 7 7800X3D because there is a huge shortage where I live, and it got to the point where it was €100 more than the Ryzen 9. I know I will have a slight performance hit if the game uses the non-3D V-Cache, but I prefer that to spending almost €150 more than the MSRP.
Little side question: Will the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the motherboard work in Arch? From what I could gather, the drivers for it should be in the latest kernel, but I’m not 100% sure.
Looks fine to me.
If they don’t for some reason and you can’t get it working or need some sort of driver fix, can always worst case fall back to a USB dongle or similar until they do. Obviously, preferable not to do that, but shouldn’t wind up stuck without them no matter what.
It is just a pain in the ass to find out what network module exactly is being used in the motherboard before buying it. ASUS only says the ethernet is Realtek, and that’s about it. I just hope that those one or two online probes I saw of the board on Arch that said it worked OOTB were correct.
Motherboards almost always use a normal m.2 WiFi & Bluetooth module. You can swap it out if needed.
