#### Benchmark Justification

Two sticks in A2 and B2, the slots our assembly guide specifies, with the other two left empty. We publish no latency figure for this kit. The RAM calculator on this site will convert 3600 and 14 into nanoseconds if you want the estimate, and the BIOS guide walks tRFC, the DRAM refresh cycle time, along with tFAW and tREFI from there.

Verified during the Project 9900K ultra-high refresh rate validation runs. Every component is cherry-picked to eliminate frametime spikes, micro-stuttering, and DPC latency overhead in competitive esports titles.

Hardware Verification & Care

## Component Procurement & Testing FAQs

Crucial advice on buying used enthusiast PC hardware, silicon binning, and thermal maintenance.

Ctrl+F

Silicon degradation manifests as instability at stock or mild voltages. Test the CPU by running OCCT CPU / Linpack at stock voltage; if errors occur within 10 minutes, the silicon has experienced degradation.

For used graphics cards (especially OEM or previously mined units), check VRAM junction temperatures and inspect HWInfo64 for "PCIe Bus Errors" (WHEA 17/19).

Replacing dried thermal pads and applying PTM7950 to the GPU core restores used hardware to factory thermal performance.

Key Takeaway:
Always check WHEA errors in HWInfo64 and verify voltage stability on second-hand hardware.
