Hi all,
This spec is one of the pre configured ones from PC specialist.
Use case is MSFS 2024 at ultra settings 1440p on a £200 mid range IPS monitor.
I have a couple of questions below:
Is the CPU cooler sufficient? Seems like alot of people suggest an AIO cooler as a minimum for this cpu?
Is this processor one of the ones that are failing from intel? If so, do you recommend an equivalent Ryzen? Or is the 14700k a good buy?
Any other changes suggested to the ram/SSDs? Mother board choice ok?
Thanks
Tom
