Tell him to try a different BIOS. The most recent one from march is horrible and is very unstable. I was flickering on JEDEC settings (4800mhz/CL40)... Not sure what MSI was thinking by releasing it.

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.

Lol I just bought the $349 12700k+mobo since they delisted this bundle last time it went out of stock. Maybe that's just how Newegg does it. That's okay though I don't care about RGB.

Same mobo too or different? And I'm guessing no RAM?

A friend of mine has basically this same setup except a 12900k. He's currently having memory issues. Trying to diagnose if it's the vengeance memory or the motherboard.

Thanks, thinking about purchase.

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.

I haven't built myself a new system in 11 years, couldn't spend the money... and the system has done very well for me (I'll list current specs below) but actually the biggest bottleneck is memory, usually have like few office programs, Photoshop/Premiere and browsers with about 200+ tabs open (ya trust me I wish it were less but 9% not possible) and my stupid mobo is not taking more than 16GB easily (known issue, I should have investigated better back then) so instead of replacing just the mobo I am finally ready to build new one and this seems like a great start? I heard the mobo and CPU is good, no idea about this memory but I know I need at least 32GB, might add another 32GB later.

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.

A 4060 Ti is absolutley terrible value, it performs about the same as the 3060 Ti and costs about $80 more at current market pricing. It all depends on the distribution of your usage habits. Premiere benefits greatly from more RAM, so if you intend on ever getting 64GB, 2x32GB sticks = better stability (at XMP) than 4x16GB sticks usually, keep that in mind.

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.

I have a version of this board from a Corsair pre-build and it is very stable with a 12900k. I also have their thunderbolt 4 card installed and it works great. The only issue I have is that Corsair won't update the bios to support 13th gen cpus which this board does support with the retail bios.
