It’s also worth giving a shout-out to the MSI 271QRX QD-OLED for being a fantastic monitor for the price. Getting the chance to see such rich colours and deep blacks makes the whole, tedious, process of benchmarking endless hardware that much more pleasant. It’s like a Swedish Massage for your eyeballs.
Clock Speeds
With a motherboard as beefy as the Crosshair Glacial overclocking is a breeze. In fact we ran out of cooling for our particular Ryzen 9900X long before the motherboard cried Uncle. Suffice to say if you do want to tweak, this is the platform upon which to do so. That 24+2+2 power stage is more than capable of dealing with all you throw at it. Smooth power delivery equals high performance.
