Quite bland for all intents and purposes, no overclock here! Largely due to my lack of need for anything. It's all done automatically these days (which is quite lame imo) which eliminates the need to overclock to any serious degree. Also worth noting that I don't need to tune my memory past the default XMP profile due to how the X3D chip performs and whatnot.
TL;DR: Am lame. No OC. *sad computer enthusiast noises*
Reason for the total price being rather high for this rig is largely due to the inefficiency when I bought the various parts. I paid almost the full launch retail price for the X3D chip ($430), as well as a hyper-inflated mining price for the 6700XT back in late March 2022 (my 1080 died suddenly so I "upgraded" to a far better option for waaay too much) which amounted to around $700, and between those two parts alone that makes up for over half the total cost of this rig. If I had paid for the CPU and GPU at market prices today, the total rig would have been closer to around $1500 all in all!
