basically with am5 especially:
go ahead and make sure bios is up to date
enable memory context restore
thanks
Edit: wanted to add, for those looking for rad cooling, I have 2 of these AIOs and they have also been rock solid for very little money (I paid $50 and $55 for each). Noise isn't too bad and for what seems like $100+ less than competitors, I'm outrageously happy with the cooling for my 7700x and 5900x processors. I can't get either to go over 62° C.

Those who purchase may also want to research making changes in the bios to undervolt to negative 30 on all cores. doing so dropped the cpu temp a little over 10c when running cinebench test and actually improved the score.
For example, on my personal system with a 7900x and motherboard default cpu settings (excluding curve optimizer), I can set a very large all core offset in bios, boot into windows, and run benchmarks like cinebench just fine. However, my system is not stable. In fact, even at a -15 all core offset, I get errors on a couple of cores doing core cycling with small dataset sse instructions in occt. Meanwhile, at a -13 all core offset there are no errors on any core, and this was verified with a variety of occt tests, core cycler, y-cruncher, and prime95. While core cycling stress tests are a worst case scenario, any cpu errors whatsoever mean your system is at risk of instability and OS corruption. It's possible to use an unstable system without major issues, many people who undervolt do so (knowingly or unknowingly), but it's important to weigh the risks and benefits.
The general community consensus I've seen (in forums where people are actually properly testing their undervolts rather than random reddit threads) is that unless you get extremely unlucky practically all zen 4 cpus should be fully stable with a -10 all core offset. Anything beyond that comes down to the silicon lottery, and how much of a risk you're willing to take with your system's stability.

Does needing this second PC for multiple things beyond gaming mean I should stay away from x3D?
Should I swap my 12900 intel into the gaming-productivity rig and get an x3d for the driving simulator? I have read that driving sims put more load on the CPU than most games, but I'm not sure if any sims out there benefit from multi core CPU at the moment.

7700X is gonna age better but at the same time, in a few years you could upgrade it with minimal effort and cost but it's more expensive.
