Ah, AM4.
At 10 years old, it’s still the platform that keeps on giving.
And they called me a madman for spending months tuning the CO of my 5800X3D to its limits and also OCing my 3200 mhz Crucial Memory to 3800 Mhz. It seems this setup will stay with me until DDR6 arrives. I hope the prices get back to normal by then.
This is cool. I just hope game developers also get on this bandwagon. We could use a 4-year moratorium on increasing minimum system requirements.
i thought ddr4 production was shutdown, are companies still making it or is this until that supply runs out too?
Wat good is a board of there’s no memory? AM4 has been happily humming along for years too, why is MSI special now?
DDR4 isn’t as much a part of the memory shortage, though that seems to be shifting because DDR5 is jacked up. They’re pulling a solid for consumers by releasing a cheap motherboard where memory can be gotten, or giving a transition for users with older components.
Unfortunately you can’t get X3D CPU for AM4 anymore.
You can, for $1000 plus by scalpers on ebay
