Intel is defective, they are ticking time bombs to break...I have a very old system and I've been thinking of saving up for an upgrade. I see all these reports about multiple flaws in the 2 latest generations of Intel CPUs, and I have to wonder, would I be better off getting an AMD system?
If so, which AMD CPUs would be good for running several CPU-heavy VST instruments inside a DAW?
Next month build a system with an AMD Ryzen™ 9 9950X or 9900X.
Something +- like this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LX6x89
Plug the DAC/Audio in the ASRock orange/yellow USB port and in the
other USB orange/yellow port plug the mouse.
ASRock Lightning Gaming USB ports are good for USB audio Interfaces and DACs.

Do not forget to first update the motherboard BIOS.
(Not the same model, but the same process)

In the BIOS do not forget to set the FANS to PWM and disable the onboard sound.
Only need to install:
- Chipset https://download.asrock.com/Drivers/AMD ... 2.053).zip
- LAN https://download.asrock.com/Drivers/All ... .2023).zip
- GPU https://www.techpowerup.com/download/am ... s-drivers/
- The DAC/audio interface driver
Make sure to install the CPU cooler with the offset mount bar
