Time to join new thread. Recently got back on the AMD bandwagon with a 7500F. iirc my last AMD was an Athlon64 a long time ago.

Anyways I'm using an MSI B650M Gaming Plus Wifi, is the "Game Boost" option in BIOS the same as PBO? Still blur about all these new Ryzen stuff.

Last week I bought Klevv Cras 16GBx2 6000 CL28-36-36 1.4V for RM639 before vouchers. From Just IT Shopee.

edit: yikes seems like the price has gone up since then.

Finally put everything together. Got the parts over the last 3-4 weeks from Shopee. Took time bcos only buy with vouchers. Looking good so far. Still using the supplied Wraith Stealth.

MSI B650M Gaming Plus Wifi [RM529.60]
Klevv Cras V 32GB Kit CL28 [RM489]
Super Flower Leadex III 850W [RM334]
WD SN850X 2TB (bought April last year) [RM480.37]

Use back:
Tecware Quad case
RX 6600 XT
KC3000 1TB

My last AMD processor was Athlon64. Such a long time ago. Anyway this replaces the 12400F which replaces the 10400F which was sold off.

Documenting temps now before putting in a better cooler. Also power consumption. My TNB bill really gg for this month.

Sorry for not being clear. My main is Macmini M1 and the last few days, I've been using the 7500F a lot and running Cinebench. So using quite a fair bit of power.

For normal stuff like browsing and YT in Chrome/Safari, Excel & file management. The 7500F uses 94Wh and the Mac 12Wh. The 12400F iirc was about the same, maybe 5-10Wh less than the 7500F.
