This is great. Am uncovering a lot of good information as I verify, check and recheck. But as you might suspect there is some questions.
Mobo Wifi6. Will this handle wifi-calling.? Currently my smart modem does this. If so, am guessing I switch off the modem wifi?
Will the new system accept my SSD with Windows 10? I seem to recall last time I upgraded to another PC, it booted up perfectly fine. If yes, are there any precautions, settings to tweak before pulling the SSD and plugging it into the new..??
Monitor outputs. 1 x HDMI, 1 x DP. Historically I've run 2 monitors HDMI and DVI. My initial thought was to upgrade the DVI monitor to a big TV size, would need to fit DP output. But then I thought, if I get a extra big TV, maybe I don't need 2 monitors anymore?
AMD Ryzen 7 7900x. Doesn't come with heatsink. Looks like I can get a 2fan cooler for about $25 incl.tax. What's still unclear is how to drive 2 fans from the mobo. Maybe there's 2 x4pin headers? PWM I suppose. Looks like heatsinks are same from AM3 - AM5.
A lot to take in.
