OMG what a disappointment this upgrade turns out to be so far.
The main game (TLOU) stutters almost as much as on my 5800X, the board takes forever to boot up (although I didn't go through all the bios settings so there might be memory related setting that will speed it up) and the cpu fan whines now which it didn't on my previous system (switching it to DC mode reduces it slightly but I can still hear it drives me mad).
All that goodness for only £1000.... :cry:

Oh and forgot to add that front panel usb c delivers pathetic 10W of power.... :mad:

Yes, the X67E Tuf Gaming uses a Realtek ethernet controller. I'm now debating whether I get that or stick with my 5900X and cancel my order. The more I read about AM5 and the plethora of bugs, the less appealing it sounds. All yours for £1.1k....

Against the X670E TUF, apart from their ridiculously overkill VRMs:
- The Hero has 2x rear USB4, front USB-Type C with 60 watt PD, integrated DAC & rear spdif, 2x PCI-E 5.0 M.2 (1x on TUF).
- The Aorus has DTS/DTD support, rear spdif, 2x PCI-E 5.0 M.2 (1x on TUF).

The Hero/Aorus have onboard buttons for power/reset 'n stuff too.

Do clean reinstall of Windows and check again, probably doesn't help you have stuff running in the background, stuff like RGB software especially icue not good Ryzen gets random spikes

I had battle with this getting system running as Lean as possible got CPU down to 26w

Installed. Cable managed. Bios updating now.

I clicked xmp and cpu OC in the bios.

Yeah. Why does it take *forever* to boot?

Try enabling memory context restore. It reduced boot time massively for me.
That’s if you are using asus board, if different brand then it might be called something else.

That's surprising. I have no stutters and I'm running it on a 5800X + 4090 FE and I only have 16Gb of DDR4 (which gets fully utilised for TLOU). I know at 4K it will not make much of a difference, but I'm assuming that when I get the 7800X3D + 16Gb of DDR5, the game will run at least as good as on my current system. I guess I'll see in a couple of weeks.

Maybe you have somethig in the background that's causing the stutters?
 
A quick straw poll - the Peerless Assassin or similar should be plenty cooling for a 7800X3D in a case with good airflow, right? That is, there's nothing really to be gained from using an AIO instead?
