Queen Chrysalis, everything is fine! Your ideas are great, and I appreciate your help. After researching, the CPUs you mentioned look promising. I’ll share my findings if I can complete the upgrade and see what results we get.
In summary, if you're close to or planning to visit a microcenter, bring your board and CPU there—they offer lower prices and a $20 discount when purchased together. Verify stock online and choose your nearby location to avoid issues. You can often reserve items for three days. Most boards now include an integrated Wi-Fi slot, and you can find the Intel 6 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip for around $25.
It's a bit of a nostalgic vibe going on. For me, this setup feels like the old days. The price range is around 11400f or 11600kf, and the Asus Prime B560-Plus should work well. If I succeed, I'll share an update soon. Cheerio!
I believe 1333Mhz refers to the "strange low memory clock" you mentioned. In short, it's not unusual. This number is simply normal. Keep in mind that 1333Mhz equals exactly half of 2666Mhz. The "DDR" in DDRX RAM means "Dual Data Rate." If you're using DDR4 at 2666Mhz, you're technically operating at around 2666Mhz, yet your system runs at 1333Mhz. This happens because DDR RAM transmits data twice during each clock cycle—once on the rising edge and once on the falling edge. Certain programs such as HWinfo may display the actual clock cycle, while others show the effective one.
That too, but there is also a 1200MHz visible as a clock ("zegar" - pl) of the selected memory module. Anyway, thanks for making it clear. If the 1200 stuff didn't raise your eyebrow, then cool. God, I love this forum!
