The Crucial T705 is going back, not feeling the performance uplift and it is very picky about platform stability as a whole

Hmm, Wccftech have an article about something like this today https://wccftech.com/amd-x670e-motherboards-limiting-gen5-ssds-gen1-speeds-users-unable-to-boot-windows/

RIP Tuxedo, updated bios to official 1.2.0.2 version, running away happily for 15 mins then black screen. MB Q-Code = 00 - Dead 9950X - meh

So you can see that I've fallen back to the AM4 build with some changes:
:Back to upside down
5 Next / Res and Leakshield mounted on lower rad
:4 extra fans coming into play


Some options open to me - replace dead 9950X with a straight swap - no money lost but to be honest I didn't feel that much if any difference in Win 11 - Fresh install on a fast Gen 5 drive - Debian and Gentoo did feel snappier however

Carry on with trusty 5950X, get refund on 9950X, sell on Crosshair X670e and DDR5 RAM

Sell X670e Hero, get X870e Hero, replacement Ryzen and a new cable for my Optane + get another Optane

Or say F It and buy a new lens
