Here is the new #Development #PC Build:

- #AMD #Ryzen 7 7700X
- #Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2
- #GSkill 32GB DDR5 PC-6000
- #Samsung 990 Evo Plus 1TB
- #Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- #LianLi Lancool 2007 Case
- #MSI MAG A750BE PSU
- @kde Neon

Went w/ integrated graphics for the time being & it is more than I need. Does #3dprinting slicing & drawing just fine, #virtualization just fine, #ffmpeg & the little bit of video editing I do. Blows the old i7-6700 w/ 16GB out of the water!

For the better part of a month now I’ve been waffling on whether to purchase a #Gigabyte x870 Aorus Elite or #MSI x870 Tomahawk #motherboard. Both are at the top of my budget and offer really compelling design choices. For me the priorities are a PCIe 5.0 slot, at least two M.2 (CPU) slots, and USB4.

The Gigabyte x870 features a nice neutral design that compliments the rest of my build. The compromise is the ability to have up to three 5.0 x4 M.2 slots, but at the expense of half the lanes going to the first PCIe slot (x16 down to x8). Shouldn’t be a problem now but idk about the future.

The MSI x870 features an…interesting design with green accents that I’m kind of torn about. The compromise here is halving the number of lanes going to the second M.2 slot (x4 down to x2) to power both USB4 ports. Oof.

The case for the MSI board is stronger when you consider the higher quality audio chip, broader WIFI7 frequency, gold antenna threads, better power efficiency, lower chipset temps, and passes DDR5-8000 EXO validation. The new bios looks like a pleasure to use. Just all around a solid mobo.

The case for the Gigabyte board is the fact you will always have USB4 and if you’re fine with halving your GPU lanes to get three M.2 slots connected straight to your CPU, you’re working with a fantastic board. No compromises. The Gigabyte bios is a bit older but still good.

#GWE was the perfect app for #NVIDIA users on #Linux to set up fan control (and maybe even overclocking, don't remember) a la #MSI Afterburner on #Windows - too bad it hasn't yet been updated to support #Wayland desktops, hope it'll get there someday though.

Someone on the GWE repo did recommend an alternative that supposedly works just as fine and even supports NVIDIA drivers on Wayland called CoolerControl. Unlike GWE, no #Flatpak support though but it is available in the #AUR. Might try this until GWE comes around.
