BIOS for January works. Fairly stable, no issues in OCCT testing/100 BCLK lock on. Flickering also gone.. even at 6000 CL36 XMP.
Could also be IMC (on CPU), but 12900k will generally be better than 12700K for silicon quality. YMMV.
Edit: Retraining RAM may also help in general. Kinda hard on this board without a CMOS reset button.. Need to hit jumper pin or remove battery.

Anyone speak to reliability?
Four M2's.

Mine has been rock solid so far.
Same mobo too or different? And I'm guessing no RAM?

I usually wait for a 50% speed increase before updating from my Ryzen 7 3800X with Asus 3070.

If you're going strictly by passmark numbers, you're getting about a 50% increase. It's a great deal for the price. I've been back and forth between Intel and AMD the last few years and I can't complain, both have been great.
Then I'll just add a HD I already just got (Predator GM7000 4GB NvMe), case, and maybe this PSU that was listed here in SD
850w Thermaltake Toughpower $120
Only tough decision is between the GPU... I dont do much gaming anymore but as soon as I get a free second I want to get in some COD and I want to play it in decent quality, doesnt have to be max everything... besides I still have to finish COD4 and MW2 (yes, not from last year, dont laugh) so I am trying to decide, I heard the 4060 Ti is one of best values but still seems like $400, not sure if I even need that, unless it will improve my speed in Photoshop and Premiere? Or else what, RX 7600, RTX 3080 or 3070?
Any help appreciated... I am been so out of this game....
P.S. I have always tried to keep the total build just over $1000 or so... def under $1500.

Photoshop (also Lightroom) lately has a lot of beta/release features that leverage AI and it does benefit from CUDA cores on Nvidia cards. An example is the Generative AI feature on Photoshop that litterally adds stuff into the selected mask or the new AI Denoise in Lightroom. When I batch process photos in Lightroom and apply AI Denoise it uses 100% of my 4090.
Typically Team Red offers better bang for your buck in terms of Call of Duty performance but for creative content work, Team Green is still better. I can't recommend any 8GB GPU though regardless, it's not going to age well. Tough call since the GPU isn't really for gaming primarily but you're using creative apps that could use CUDA cores for certain features.
