COMPONENT ANALYSIS
PER-PART TECHNICAL STATUS
COMPATIBILITY
PAIR-BY-PAIR VERIFICATION
Socket and chipset verified for this processor.
Memory type and speed supported by the board's QVL class.
M.2 slot count and PCIe generation are sufficient.
Card length and slot width fit the chassis specification.
Power connectors and wattage budget cover the graphics card.
Mounting bracket and TDP rating match the processor.
Radiator / tower height fits the case specification.
Total estimated draw sits inside the PSU's efficient band.
All components fit within chassis clearances.
BOTTLENECK ANALYSIS
CPU → GPU → RAM → THERMALS
CPU BOTTLENECK
Processor keeps pace with the GPU at the target resolution.
GPU BOTTLENECK
Graphics card is the intended limiter — correct for a gaming-focused system.
RAM LIMIT
Memory capacity and speed do not constrain the workload.
THERMAL RISK
Estimated sustained temperatures remain within design limits.
