I had this to. Apperantly it was not running well with my Lexar NM790 nvme ssd at the moment of the stutters it was spiking to 100% usage with only 55mb/s reading speed. Ive moved the game to my secondary slower Samsung 970 evo plus and now the reads speeds stay high while usage stay low while drivi

6800 is not a high end GPU. It's 2 generations old Mid tier. The 11500 is also a low tier chip. The 850w psu is way oversized. The ram is anemic and the ssd is the cheepest Samsung had to offer at that time. Overall, solid entry level beginner PC that I would never spec together as a new build. And

I use Samsung 970 EVO 500GB without any problems with Pi 5.

i feel you on this one - same thing happened to my samsung 970 evo after three years. that red highlight usually means the bios sees the drive but can't boot from it. first thing - grab a usb stick and make a bootable hirens bootcd pe on another pc to test the ssd health. samsung magician software c

Curiosity questions and notations, not meant to be rude: Why did you go with Intel 1700 socket and not 1851, the 13th and 14th gen are known to kill themselves and the U5-245K(1851) is a really capable CPU, and 1851 CPUs don't run hot and is roughly the same speed, plus the lack of hyperthreading al
