It's a good system. ^^
It would help to know "which" Ryzen 9 that is.

CPU-Z will tell you exactly what CPU is in there.

Use CPU-Z to get your System Specs...

CPU-Z (free), will show you make/model for everything except: drives, case and power supply. You'll need to add make/model for monitor, keyboard and mouse as well. That info should be easy to find. Portable version: https://download.cpuid.com/cpu-z/cpu-z_2.17-en.zip
www.elevenforum.com www.elevenforum.com

CPU-Z will also tell you the make/model of the RAM.
He seems to be using two x 24GB sticks of RAM, which is unusual.






These are the Ryzen 9 16/32 CPUs...

This is the motherboard...
rog.asus.com

ROG STRIX B650E-E GAMING WIFI | Motherboards | ROG United States

The ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi is a future-ready B-series beast, featuring 16 + 2 power stages, hyperspeed DDR5 memory, and next-gen PCIe® 5.0 connectivity. It features four M.2 slots with heatsinks, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support, WiFi 6E, AI Cooling II, AI Networking, Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation...
rog.asus.com rog.asus.com

And these are all the 2x24GB DDR5 sets of RAM...

And here are the Sapphire 6900 XT vid cards...



All in all it's probably a h*ll of a decent computer. ^^

Unless you regularly use more than 32GB of memory, you may want to remove one and put the other two in their proper configuration. They will run better

Too slow is a relative term. Pretty sure that spec is still pretty good.

Hi All, got a question:
I have my "old" desktop set up just the way i like it and was wondering what would happen if i clone that HHD to my new Computer hard drive.
The old is a dell purchased as a refurbished from E-Bay. what should i expect in terms of booting up and running it. will windows find the new hardware?
any inside would be appreciated.
Thanks

Awesome that it works for you. Technology these days is all incremental upgrades really. From one generation to the next is not worth upgrading from. I am running an 11th gen system for my laptop and a 10th gen system for my workstation and both are just fine. No need to buy new.
