Win11 Write-caching policy - Enable or Disable?

Some claim Disabling Write-caching policy will speed up Steam downloads. I am concerned that Disabling will heavily increase the TBW in the long term. And that would decrease the lifespan of my internal SSD.

BTW some SSDs have cache and others do not. Could this be another factor in the equation??

Thank you all in advance!

Host Memory Buffer DDR5 VS DDR4

I would like to ask whether an NVME SSD with HMB will benefit from DDR5 RAM versus DDR4.

I am eyeing the 2TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus - not to be confused with the non "plus" version.

If I am posting this in the wrong subreddit, please tell me where to post it :)

Thank you all in advance!

I am very much aware that the 5900XT is a "refresh" of the Ryzen 5950X. My question is regarding temperature differences... Should I assume that the 5900XT runs a bit cooler than it's counterpart given it has a lower Base Clock (3.3GHz vs 3.7GHz)? I cannot find any information online about its Load Temperature... Differences in temperature would be a deal breaker for me given the high ambient temperature of the room in which it will be running. Thank you all in advance :)
