Check if the w11 version is available. It mostly just unlocks Windows, but I’d suggest using Windows 10 LTS instead of this release since it’s essentially the same. You can update Windows directly rather than reinstalling completely. Search for the W10 LTS ISO—actually enjoy the activation process. Personally, I have W10 LTS on a 160GB drive mainly for benchmarking or testing hardware that struggles with my W7 install; it might be an unstable version. Still, if the OS crashes just because it’s “custom,” that logic applies to anyone using a modified Windows ISO, whether for business or personal use. I’d guess RAM is the bigger issue, as mentioned—Zen+IMC performs poorly and hitting 3200 is unlikely unless you fine-tune it. On the other hand, kits with lower memory requirements (like micron rev) can push it to 3600+.
Win 10 shows maturity, Win 11 has some lingering issues, etc. I’d prefer to stay on 10.
Consider using XMP 2.3GHz and see how it performs. Opt for a standard Windows installation instead of REVI OS.
