I'm still super torn between the R5 & the R7 and have a Batch 7 order for the R5.
Can't make a decision

What will be the usage?
Imho 7 isn't worth the price difference. I really wanted the extra cores but I find even running VMs the ryzen 5 was solid. Instead I run a minisforum ryzen 7 4800h for running thread heavy applications. It was cheap
You can't change your cpu model after placing your pre-order, i ran into that problem myself.
Has anybody ever tried to make a NAS system from an old framework mainboard? Would that work?
no reason for it not to work
Don't use kryonaut, instead use PTM7950. It's worth it, given my experience with ryzen 5650u on a ThinkPad T14. Every other tim except for liquid metal is worse than PTM for laptop usage
I've never had a problem with Kryonaut and found it an improvement vs. the stock paste on my 12th gen mainboard, so I'm sticking with it for now.
I installed the AMD mainboard last night and repasted with Kryonaut before powering it on for the first time. So far so good.
Agreed
Default thermal paste not good though?
Can someone run a stock paste cinebench + furmark thermals test and compare to his?
It's probably fine, but when I repasted my 12th gen mainboard with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut I saw a noticeable improvement, so I figured I'd just repaste the AMD while I was poking around with the internals. So far so good.
