All that was placed into the Corsair iCUE 465X RGB Black case ( $129.99 shipped) without issue. DRAM needs are fulfilled by a 16GB DDR4-3600 kit of Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB memory ( $159.99 shipped) and a Corsair RM750 power supply ( $119.99 shipped) powers the system. We went with the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) motherboard ( $183.99 shipped) and the ASUS ROG STRIX Gaming Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card ( $339.99 shipped). The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X runs $204.99 shipped and the Ryis $174.99 shipped. To power the system we picked the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-core, 12-thread processor as it along with the Ryare hands down two of the best selling 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs. The goal here is to have a system that relates to the average Do-It-Yourself (DIY) builder, gamer or enthusiast as we want the benchmark results to mean something. When building storage test platforms we always aim for the middle of the road.
So, moving over to the AMD X570 platform for storage testing made sense for the site as we need to have relevant data for our readers on the products that are selling right now. Rumor has it that PCIe Gen 4.0 will not be included on the upcoming Z490 motherboards that will be released when Intel 10th Gen ‘Comet Lake-S’ processors come to market later this year.
Intel has not announced when they will release a desktop platform that supports PCIe Gen 4.0. AMD was the first company to offer PCI Express Gen 4.0 support with the introduction of the X570 platform in the middle of 2019 and it has been a hot topic ever since. With more PCIe Gen 4.0 drives getting ready to enter the market we figured that it was time to jump ship from Intel to AMD. One of the things that Legit Reviews has been working on behind the scenes this month is building up a new SSD test system for improving the way we benchmark storage drives.
