I have the beast cooler setup in the new house. Working great. Need to add a little more water though, only got about 2-3 gallons in the tank. I have 30,000ML of Koolance fluid that I got on sale, I plan to flush and add that. This setup works better than ever though. Cools the water down to 59F in no time, and holds it there in between cycles and PC loads. How the office is laid out there’s only 3.5 walls, so warm air is blown out of the room down the hall way in to the rest of the house. This way the room is not heated, and you can’t tell a difference in air temp. (It’s Impossible to run a chiller long term in a small closed room)

I’d go for the Gskill or Team Group DDR5 6000-6800 ECC RDIMM sticks, but you gotta shop around I have seen prices go from $289.99 to $500+ for the 4x16GB. Those will overclock really good, potentially hitting DDR5 7000+ ranges. Newegg had some 4x16GB for like $239.99 at one point when I was looking a while back. The prices have shot up again though with 3rd party resellers listing them. Fortunately motherboards prices for W790 are dropping FAST! So I’d say Asus W790 or Asrock are really the only choices you have. The Asrock w790 2.0 is a stripped down Asrock W790, they were supposed to be $499.99 retail MSRP. But I’m not sure if that has even come to the USA yet. The Xeon 2495X is a good chip. This one should last years and years with solid performance. And it’s a single die with quad channel. So latency is good! Bandwidth will still be insane. Heres some sticks below! I would check QVL really well. Just make sure every thing goes together. It’ll be a trouble free experience. Make sure to take some serious caution when mounting those big CPU’s and use proper torquing sequence. https://www.newegg.com/team-group-64gb/p/N82E16820985125?item=N82E16820985125

I can’t wait to test it! I have more or less learned my current w3175X well. I know its limits. It’s actually a very very good chip though from what I am seeing. My current W3175X was manufactured the very last week of 2017, and this new one was made in mid 2019. So definitely curious to see if they run similar or potentially worse. Both retail chips. These CPU’s are $2,999 brand new on Amazon. So finding one sealed like this for $380 dollars seems crazy to me, and I felt silly not grabbing it.

I could not resist this. Brand-new Xeon 3175X sealed. $380 bucks. Snatches! Planning to test and compare with mine, and sell one of them. 5e dice roller 5e dice roller 5e dice roller

How are the AMD SP ratings comparing? Tested any that are much better than other chips? Or does it not matter much?

That’s what I was curious about. So I suppose about 8% faster for the 9800X3D in seriously CPU bottlenecked 720P situations AKA: “1080P Quality DLSS”. My 14900KS was stock, other than cache and memory overclocking. Not sure if a 4090 might help that. I think my 4090 was only around 25-35% GPU usage average. With a max of 48% in the hardest areas. But definitely give it a test and see for sure. Maybe it can do even 70K.

Yeah CPU only benchmark. Thats how people do it I guess lol.

Maybe you can run this. I remember whooping “Fully Tuned” 7800X3D’s and 7950X3D’s pretty good with my last setup. Honestly the 9950X/9950XD might just take it now though.

Yep! They are wonky with the 1st graphics test, and the physics tests, interesting you’re having the same issues with your 28/56 chip. My firestrike was just like that though. And it’s all due to Hyper Threading. The good news is, real world gaming works really really well leaving HT on. So this is really only needed for Firestrike and Timespy. All of my games I play push my RTX4090 perfectly! Coming from a 14900KS, I don’t really notice a difference real world.

@ssj92 Disable HT and run Firestrike Physics again. It’ll probably double lol. This is the only test that cannot run right on all threads for me as well. Although weirdly Windows 22H2 helped a lot with this, but disabling HT helps even more! Firestrike Physics just has no idea what to do with your 3465X. Another thing is dumb, and this test really makes no sense. My 3175X can run Timespy GT1 at 30% GPU usage with HT on, but GT2 is 100% GPU usage lol. If you turn HT off, it’s full GPU usage for GT1 and GT2. Really just poor optimization I guess.

Thats really good to hear. Once it goes inside of an ATX case it’s definitely gonna be using only the Subzero 360. How do you think 4x16GB will overclock on a 4 dimmer? Like 4266? Maybe 4400?

I might have to throw this on my extreme bench for a quick spin. 😎 You’re right about SP’s. You’d have to have them all delidded side by side for comparable testing. I was actually gonna buy one from another guy it was just an SP101. But looked pretty good.

It arrived! My daughters new CPU. 10900K/sp106 This is the largest cpu box I have ever seen! ITS MASSIVE!!! Only 200 of these exist. Really great cpu+cooler combo for $275.00. I was originally going to build my daughter with the Z690 Hero+DDR5 which was donated. But the owner/gifter needed those things back, since his main system went down, so since I had a Z490 motherboard, and 64GB of fresh Samsung Bdie already. This makes perfect sense to set her up with a one of a kind 10900K.

I’m running 22H2 as well. My 3175X absolutely rips on this OS. I tried 24H2/22H3/22H2. Only thing I have not tried yet is Windows 10 on this system. It’s an older system with lower IPC. So I need every advantage I can get. I think 22H3 barely performs slower than 22H2. And it always reflects in my CPU physics scores, and GPU usage. (1) Fastest bios (2) Fastest micro code (3) Fastest OS (4) Highest possible overclocks. (5) Good game optimization is always welcome 😃

Stalker 2 is lots of fun so far. Playing on the hardest difficulty for realism and title longevity. 😃 It runs butter on a 4090, 4K@120HZ is perfect for it. Seriously surprised by that. Thank goodness for DLSS+FG. And thank goodness for a nice AAA title that incorporates those features on day 1. Some games do not lol. “Cough” “Cough” Starfield. “Cough” Cough” Ark Ascended.

Something like that lol. Worth a try. Game pass as a TON of games though. So, it may be worth keeping it and paying the $15 per month or how much it cost. I cancelled mine and could not live without it, so I got it again a few months ago lol! So many games that are $60 dollar hits on Steam, are totally free on Xbox Game Pass. This game Stalker 2 runs GREAT! My minimum FPS has been 99fps, running 4K maxed out, DLSS Quality+FG getting 99-117 fps cap. My RTX4090 GPU is NOT overclocked at all. Anything outside of the red arrows is minimizing the game and going back to desktop. Pretty good for a Day 1 release on a demanding title.

Grab a Xbox gamepass subscription for $1 dollar, then cancel it. You’ll be able to play if you have Gamepass.

Already playing it 🤣 it’s the best! My Xeon 3175X+4090 is doing great. I was seeing really good performance.

I’m thinking about getting this motherboard. Only $250.00. 1 of 999# made. Very unique! It’s an Aqua Z490 board. I really like it.

I love when things are shipped right from Taiwan or manufacturers. Thats how Corsair does it, and MSI US store as well. But that is extremely FRESH right there LOL. I bought a SSD from Corsair once, and it was made recently like this as well.

Yeah great deal for a LTX 10900K, I do believe he has sold them all now, what do you run yours at daily? And what ram speed? Another good thing about Intel 10th gen is you can overclock DDR4 practically just as good on (4) Dimm boards VS. a (2) Dimm XOC board, unlike Intel 12th/13th/14th/15th maybe once DDR5 reaches limits like DDR4 the cheap motherboards board will surpass ram OC as a whole like DDR4 did. As for Sapphire rapids not all are multi-tile CPU like that, but only the 3400/3500 series Xeons with Octa channel. The 2400/2500 chips are single die. Most people who want a “Do it all” go for the Xeon w2595X because it’s just one big 26/52 core die. The Xeon w3595X would fold it of course lol but since it’s a 60/120 cores glued together, it has much bigger latency hit. @Mr. Fox Yep! Reddit/discord is where all the unique and rare or cool stuff for sale are at. My Dominus/3175X was on discord, these LTX 10900K chips were on Reddit. Slews of good stuff on there. Unfortunately I do think HWbot FS forum is on life support at this point 🙁

It is a really good bin! The guy was selling them for $175 Gold LTX 10900K chip only SP losers (Not really losers, be below SP100 most likely). (He ran out of those) but yeah I’m pretty much done messing with the new Intel stuff, unless they release something new/different. Maybe Z990 or Z890 refresh will be interesting. It’s not that the 285K is bad, it’s just that I could predict what the experience would be like before even owning it. I closed my eyes and perceived exactly what owning a 285K would be like. And I thought… “Okay that’s pretty boring” annyways, Until then I’m playing with older fancy Skylake stuff 🤣lol.

It’s gonna be fun! I got an LTX Gold Sample SP106 10900K. I actually ended up buying from same guy that @win32asmguy got his from on Reddit lol. Was gonna use another guy that a friend knew, but his did not have the box or sub-zero AIO cooler, and it was more expensive, and a lower SP101. This is a build for one of my kids. Going to run it with a budget GPU. I have some newly made matched kit of 4x16GB Gskill Ares Bdie 3200cl14-14-14-34 kit to throw in it which will be perfect. I thought about going with a (2) Dimm motherboard. But I figured 2x16GB may not be enough for much longer now. This SP106 Golden 10900K was only $275.00 dollars shipped all-in, and it includes the fancy presentation Intel box, and the Coolermaster subzero ML360 360MM AIO. So it’s really cheaper than going with some random retail 10900K on eBay, which I was really surprised by.

Thats really awesome! So long story short, friend of mine found a few of these for-sale from a guy he knows, and this guy has these below, my friend was trying to work out the deets for us to each get one. I was leaning toward one of the SP101 chips. SP89 SP92 SP99 SP101 SP101 SP105 SP106 SP107 SP116. Oddly enough the SP89 was actually the best VFcurve wise and cache OC prediction in the whole pack 🤷‍♂️. I can only imagine how good one of these is. Below is a SP84 or SP85 (10850K) that I sold to @Mr. Fox a while back and that chip was A pure BEAST for being just a 10850K lol. So I’m dying to test an SP100+ LTX Golden sample 10900K. 😎

@win32asmguy Hey what 10900K LTX Gold Sample bin did you end up with? SP rating? How are the VID’s? I have a buddy trying to get us both some as well. Fingers crossed. 😊
