I recently stumbled my way through building a PC. i got the Intel Core i7-14700k with TEAMGROUP RAM (32GB [2x 16GB]; speed 6000, 38 CL [clock latency])

after looking into adding additional RAM, I learned a little bit about CAS/CL. My question, did I make a big mistake getting 38 CL? I focused on speed, but just learned about CL. Am I greatly missing out on performance with 38, or its not that big of a deal? Is there is big mismatch here between CPU and RAM?

thanks!

I've been having a tough time with it. Maybe I'm unlucky with my hardware and setup. Spend hours this week recovering from a black screen after upgrading to F40. Issue with Plymouth + Nvidia + Luks at boot. Also getting Nvidia to work on F39, my first install. Secondary computer (laptop) macbook 2017, keyboard doesn't work with Fedora compared to Linux Mint.

I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners after my experiences. imho

    Great. I'm glad you saw them. Yeah, I've been watching this device for years hoping for better support. The very technical manual WiFi fixes do seem to work, but I think a usb WiFi adapter might be more pleasant.

    UPDATE: They responded to me. It is indeed the RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB (Not 16GB). The listing will appear correctly again on 1/24/2024

    I know this community is mainly about building a PC, but wanted to get some opinions from the experts.

    So I know very little about hardware, but wanted to move away from my old standard laptop for a gaming and local LLM inference desktop. Decided current series Nvidia GPU with 16BG VRAM would be good.

    Saw this pre-order product on newegg and jumped on it: "iBUYPOWER Gaming Desktop RTX 4070 Super 16GB, i7-47000F, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD, Windows 11 Home" $1,799.99

    Only after I realized the CPU model number doesn't exist and the RTX 4070 Super maxes out at 12GB VRAM, right? Do you think they meant the RTX 4070 Ti Super?

    What do you guys think? Thanks
