A Samsung 870 QVO and a pair of WD Red NAS drives were used for storing captured data and footage.Д¬ooling setup: To keep these CPUs cool, I used my NZXT Kraken x53 CPU liquid cooler. All apps and games were installed on this drive. This PCIe Gen4 compatible NVMe drive is one of the fastest drives you can get and is capable of hitting read/write speeds in excess of 5 Gbps. Storage: We had to go with CorsairвЂ™s MP600 here.

A recent update adding support for DXR (a Microsoft API for ray-tracing) means that these GPUs are finally at par with NvidiaвЂ™s RTX cards on that front. This beast of a GPU comes with 16 GB of VRAM and a whopping 5,120 stream processors, not to mention 128 ROP and 320 texture units.

GPU: For the GPU, AMD sent their best, i.e. Rated for 850 W of power and an 80+ Titanium efficiency rating, this modular PSU didnвЂ™t have any trouble keeping our hot, power-hungry components running normally. PSU: Our trusty Corsair AX850 powered this rig. The RGB was, of course, only for bling (And why not?). RAM: We went with four sticks of Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB RAM for a total of 32 GB.

The board held up well in testing and allowed all CPUs to run at full tilt without issues. Retailing at around 15k, this board supports 4 sticks of DDR4 memory at up to 4,400 MHz, comes with dual PCIe x16 slots (x16 + x4) and two M.2 slots (one of each is PCIe Gen 4) and supports USB 3.2 Gen 2. Motherboard: For the motherboard, we used the MAG B550M Mortar from MSI. With that out of the way, hereвЂ™s how my test rig was configured: Test setup From a value perspective, this makes little sense. To do that, youвЂ™re forced to buy premium Z590-chipset based boards that costs an additional 10-20k. While IntelвЂ™s K series CPUs can run on B560 motherboards that also retail around 15k, and are the first of IntelвЂ™s ењ†0 series chipsets to support memory overclocking (thank you, AMD), you will not be able to overclock your CPU, which is the whole point of getting a K series CPU to begin with. X series AMD CPUs can be overclocked on B550 boards, and youвЂ™re allowed to use fast RAM. The more expensive X570 boards add more features and support more PCIe Gen 4 lanes for additional GPUs and NVMe storage, but thatвЂ™s about it. AMDвЂ™s entire lineup will run just fine on mid-range B550 motherboards that cost around 15k. However, as discussed in part 1, those blistering speeds (5.3 GHz is a big deal) come at a high cost and will require an expensive cooling setup. Team BlueвЂ™s only advantages here are clock speed and a slight edge in pricing with the i5 and i7 parts. And when it comes to core counts, Team Red is far ahead.

WhatвЂ™s immediately obvious is that Team BlueвЂ™s chips are all rated at a higher TDP than AMDвЂ™s, i.e.
