For testing, I used the Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU which AMD sent. The motherboard used includes the Gigabyte X670E AORUS Xtreme which retains its flagship positioning in the Gigabyte AM5 lineup. The CPU was tested at both default and PBO configurations.

Our test rig includes the Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB SSD that boots up our main OS while a 2 TB Seagate HDD is used for the storage of games and applications. In addition to these, we are running an MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM X graphics card and an ASUS ROG Thor 1200W power supply. For this specific review, we used G.Skill's latest Trident Z5 NEO DDR5-6000 memory kit running at CL30 timings. We also got an AM5 mounting kit for the Corsair H150i to use as a cooling solution for our test setup.
