Does this mean that participants must build a PC with the given specs and post a review to be featured?

Questions:
● *rest of PC components
  1. So, a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc peripherals only, right?
  2. Case airflow can also impact the thermal performance. Wouldn't that be a variable you won't be able to control here?
  3. Also, what about cooler for 12900K? I suspect a NH-D15 would be required.
  4. The form has two "Email" fields. Is this intentional?
  5. Is a laptop considered as a PC in this contest's PoV?

1. That and a cooler. If you don't have a compatible cooler, then we can arrange for that as well.
2. Depends on the workload. If you're stressing the RAM modules then they already have heatsinks on them that are rated to dissipate whatever heat the modules will generate.
3. We can arrange this. NH-D15 or an AIO with 240/280mm radiator is fine.
4. In case folks don't want the Gmail ID to be the primary ID for communication.
5. If you tinker with it and are well-versed with PC components and have tweaked performance metrics in the past, then I don't see why not. At the end of the day, we're just interested in folks who can try out as many diverse workloads on the DDR5 system as they wish to. The objective is to have fun ... and for us to get a 1500 word write-up about your experience across workloads.

Not yet. I'm still waiting for a few more people to confirm on email.

I can update the main post with the names of the selected candidates.

Received all the parts yesterday. I'll share the pics and the review process in a new thread, when I start tomorrow evening.

Is there anything specific you guys are looking for in the review for us to highlight?

Edit: Haven't added much here as of now, other than images. Review thread.
