Good info, Thanks! I’m definitely ditching the ASUS motherboard. Everyone I’ve talked to online has had problems with them. Probably ditching the T700 SSD too since everyone agrees it’s not worth the money.

Thanks for the warning on Ryzen 9 thermals. At first I was trying to avoid any liquid cooling since its seems like a hassle, but I’m starting to reconsider since modern AIO kits seem pretty reliable. I’m looking at the Arctic Liquid Freezer II at the moment.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check out that cooler. I’m also considering a liquid cooler since modern AIO kits seem fairly hassle free.
