B840? Might as well own a McLaren with skateboard wheels on it.
whats so bad about the B840? They wouldn't let me swap it, I asked. what do I miss out on with it?
I found it very confusing as there was so many different drivers
The B840 wouldn’t have been released in 2018, or even the AM5 platform, so it would been a lot more recent than that.

A b840 with a 5080 and 9800x3d, that's some min-maxing if I've ever seen one.
