Also that's the one built right now lol... Would spare me from the work of rebuilding It all... It's already updated. The 13900KS really is a beast... About the DDR5 perhaps If it's price get back to sane levels I think a nice Z790 mobo with 64GB DDR5 would be a great end of life upgrade... But for

The better question is what CPU is capable of running it in 1:1 mode. 13900KS is gonna max out at around 4133-4300MT/s. 4400 if you are super duper lucky, most likely not. 5800X3D is gonna max out at around 3800MT/s. 4000 if you are super lucky, very unlikely.

Windows 11, 13900KS, 64GB DDR5, 4090, 2TB SSD - runs everything fine, including FAF, until yesterday at least 😭

Haha thanks. I can't wait till the next AMD 11950x3d comes out to try this. The 9950x3d I've heard is notoriously hard to cool and the AM5 ihs is even thicker, so i can't wait to see what kind of gains can be had. The unfortunate thing is, I did all this work on a degraded 13900ks. The leakage power

I have the 13900ks from intel. A lot say that this cpu can handle 80°+ degrees but when mine stays at 79°-86° with occasional spike of 90°+ that only last for 3-8 seconds, it makes me think something needs to be done because I like gaming knowing it doesn’t reach 80° degrees and staying below 78° is

I actually found out the intel i9 13900ks can handle the temperature and I was just use to seeing my games run below 80° so it’s just paranoia on my part

If those are all 24/7 mission critical stable, that's some insanely low vcores. I have 4 different 13900ks cpus and when i was testing for the uc/uv settings, i needed 1.1v for 5.3ghz non avx workloads, prime95 24hr stable. I later found though that avx offset of 3, which equals 5ghz avx, needed sig

I have max tuned my hardware since day 1. This 14900KS has not degraded in 2 years because I did not let my VID table run wild. I had a 13900KS that a friend bought that was actually a better BIN and it has not degraded either. If my direct die is running 70 more watts and 800 more MHZ on the pcore

Interessant das du so viel hattest weil in so einen Richtung gings bei mir noch nie vielleicht hab ich ausgerechnet ne schlechte CPU erwischt :D Hab gestern noch recherchiert also es würde gehen so schlecht ist das Board garnicht mal - zwar würde kein 12900k drauf funktionieren (wäre mir lieber da d

13900KS is hands down the best choice here, by far. Just OP, you gotta make sure you don't let this CPU run on Intel defaults. Lock the cores, tune the voltages, and this CPU is going to serve you an eternity.
