Cheap vs. Premium DDR5: Stock vs. EXPO/XMP Memory
When building a new PC, should you play it safe with official memory specs, or aim for maximum performance with XMP and EXPO DDR5 kits? Let's find out the answer with a few gaming benchmarks.

As next-gen CPUs quickly approach, we've updated all our CPU benchmark data and have retested some Intel CPUs to highlight DDR5's impact on modern PC gaming performance.
After testing a grand total of 56 motherboards, all using AMD's B650 chipset, it's safe to say we've tested a lot of them, and we are in a solid position to tell you which ones you should buy.
We're updating our AMD B650 VRM thermal database for a grand total of 56 motherboards. In addition to testing new popular boards from Asrock, MSI, and Gigabyte, we can tell you which models to avoid.
How much RAM do gamers need? It's a question we get asked a lot, and it's one we used to answer yearly with a good old-fashioned benchmark review. Here's our latest update.
For years, we have highlighted Intel's loosely defined CPU power specs and the problems they pose for customers. The issue now is that some 13th and 14th-gen processors have started crashing.
Motherboard makers release revised models of existing boards all the time. But what is unusual here is that all these new additions are entry-level, and released rather quietly. Let's find out why.
