12x16GB installed (192GB Of fresh Samsung B-Die dual rank sticks in the Dominus! This was about a $572 dollar investment for this matching 256GB kit of ram. But definitely worth it!! I have a 4x16GB left over that I cannot use. I’ll hang on to it if I ever decide to sell this down the road. All sticks were manufactured February or April of 2023. 😁 First boot at 3200cl14 XMP at 1.350V, now to start overclocking. It’s nice to see when things are done correctly with patience, there are no issues at all. 😀

That makes sense. Anything popular made by TSMC is going to be pretty limited. Makes me miss the old days. I think it would be great if Intel still launched the 14901KE.

very unfortunate I’ll buy one 285K to just sit it on the shelf to “help save the whales foundation”. The whale being Intel lol. 😆 they are all sold out though.

There is something so fun about overclocking lots of ram, I think whenever I do get back in to a DDR5 platform again, I’ll definitely be running some dub side sticks like 2x48GB.

All of these comparisons between 285K and the 5.7-6.0Ghz 14900K. I can only assume my last setup with the 5.9-6.2Ghz 14900KS, DDR5 8600C36, would absolutely rail road the 285K 🤣lol. I had the chips ring at 5.3Ghz. And it was tuned up nicely. Not to mention Newegg just had these 14900KS for $439.99. So hard to buy a 285K. I definitely don’t regret my decision to skip the platform. ebay polyhedral dice

I ordered another set of 128GB, 8x16GB G.Skill Ares Samsung Bdie 3200cl14-14-14-34. Same exact kit that I already have, I asked the seller if he could grab a kit that is sequential to my kits serial number, he showed like 12+ kits in-stock on Ebay so I figured maybe he has a sequential serial number to my kit, maybe a kit that counts up over mine, or before mine. Anyways then he said it was the last kit so I just ordered it, we will see what happens. This is going to be really cool though either way. I will have all 12x Dimm slots filled. 😬These platforms perform best with all twelve ram slots filled. Not really sure why that is, but okay! 😀 I am planning to water-cool all 12 sticks of ram next, and I am going to use these to accomplish this. They are old, but they will work! x6 ram water blocks are not very common.

Thats really awesome. Which motherboard is better in your experience? If one of these boards had to be destroyed in to small bits lol, which would it be? 😃

I see many people upgrading to Z890, the board selection is very nice this go around with more choices. But since enterprise parts like Xeon have embraced overclocking so nicely, my interest has changed from mainstream parts towards the enterprise parts.

This is a seriously sweet deal on a (128GB) matched 8x16GB DDR4 3600 Samsung B-Die kit if anyone is in need. Only $199.99 OBO free shipping. Thats pretty much $50 bucks per 2x16GB of B-Die. Maybe cheaper if they accept an offer. They are A2 sticks as well https://www.ebay.com/itm/156442598214?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D275221%26meid%3Da347bedc83f74ff5aa1fd7740fce8dd1%26pid%3D102055%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dnone%26itm%3D156442598214%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsMobileV2WithMLRPbooster_BP%26brand%3DCorsair&_trksid=p4375194.c102055.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3Acba690b91920a2a0bbf2fa7fffffe7ee|pageci%3A2e034c6b-9405-11ef-aafe-ba7fc58fe37c|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage

House update! It’s almost DONE!!! Only one thing left is final inspection, and those steps are not mine, they have to build the real ones which are going to be 5ftx5ft landing. The steps on the home now are just temporary/portable wood steps. Pics of Inside the home, I do not have a key yet lol. They’ll change the locks before they hand us new keys. The cabinets are all real hardwood throughout the entire home. upload pic

My Apex had a free Aida copy, I lost it after hooking up the new motherboard/cpu. I did buy a key before the Apex from a janky site, but it was suspended for some reason. I’ll buy one though. The sub timings and main timings on LGA3647 can be reduced to some crazy low numbers lol. I mean, I could not do this on Z490/Z590 or even X299. I’m running CL13 currently for DDR4 3800, but I can probably bench CL12 pretty easily with enough voltage lol. Considering it’s 96GB of Dual rank, it’s kind of amazing. I can’t imagine what can be done if my ram was water chilled like my cpu. I’m currently running 3800 cl13-14-14-34-260.

This thing throws really well. Great bandwidth and good latency.

After my recent experience this week I think it matters how the chip is made up, the first thing I noticed is system fluidity on my 3175X. Zero delays, zero skips when working, just brute multitasking power like nothing is happening. I faintly remember this on my 7980XE@5.0Ghz and DDR4 4000, and I remember it being able to play two games at once 100% smooth, one in VR, and one on flatscreen. But I have been using the big/little chips for a few years now, so I have gotten use to the quirks, and it was just a normal thing. But I always thought the P/E chips while absolutely brutal in multithreaded, get a little lost in translation sometimes when the load gets high, and the apps multiply, and the windows services start stacking up. Use the OS for a few hours for work, close things out, and these high R23 scores have depleted, only a restart will replenish this. I can imagine this sounds hilarious, but it was the first thing I noticed on this absolute dinosaur of a system. I had to mention how smooth a true high core count CPU is. I can only assume the 9950X and Threadripper chips are like this as well 🧐 This makes me want to transition to W790 or the new W890 platform in the future and use only Monolithic CPU’s with only P-Cores. Because it is a big difference in smoothness. When we forget about what CPU we’re using, and we’re just working and doing things on the desktop running virtual machines, maybe minimizing games as well, the smoothness is definitely there on high core count Monolithic CPU’s that only have P-Cores available. After this experience, I truly wish Intel would go back to all P-Cores and monolithic chips. If they released a 10/20 chip with some crazy good IPC and massive cache size I would absolutely own one.

I know what looks really nice, my black/blue G.Skill Bdie dual rank sticks that aren’t RGB. And they are mere DDR4 sticks 🥳 Another thing that made no sense was apparently the Super Cool DDR5 block doesn’t even fit this new Z890 system. Thats just insane to me for some reason. I just can’t understand it. I’m okay with change so long as it’s for the better. But I guess in this case, the new Intel system was literally changed just for change. Newer is definitely not always better. Now back to some tuning on the X599 platform

3175X using CPU-Z Benchmark. Thing is a beast for sure.

I made a video of the process of re-pasting my Xeon w3175X CPU. It is quite tedious removing, cleaning, and re-installing this CPU. But, I followed the steps and it went perfectly smooth. I couldn’t find any info on this anywhere, so maybe it’ll help others as well. The old paste that was on it had moisture in it, that’s typical with water getting too cold and it ruins the ability of the paste. My temps dropped by 6C!!! https://youtu.be/zy2p3SoJOpc?si=2ydbx3vuW_CRK-oK

Definitely 11th gen all over again. I can’t possibly see anything magical happening at this point.

What was the sp rating? What’s vf curve like?

Gonna be more or less the same gap right?

Man I thought those were the better value honestly “On paper that is” scoring about 35K+ in R23 stock. Im a little surprised you aren’t digging it. I was anticipating 13900K multithreaded performance, faster single threaded performance all for $394+ range.

Uh oh. Are you referring to the 265k?

The latency and bandwidth on the old Xeon 3175X is pure amazing, this helps it maintain here in 2024 and drive a 4090 😃 This latency is better than most setups today, and very comparable to modern "Fully tuned" CPUs. I can run these same settings with the FULL 128GB of ram as well. Though, it does affect the active channels reducing bandwidth because 8x16 is an odd number of sticks for this platform. Which is why I run 6x16Gb config of DDR4 Samsung B-Die for now. I will be adding another (4) sticks for a total of (12x16GB) sticks then I can properly run the Hexa channel with all ram slots filled and it won't be an odd number. G.Skill did produce a 384Gb 12X32Gb DDR4 4000CL17 kit for this motherboard lol. I'd love to find one of those kits. Would probably cost like an insane amount of money though.

Was wondering as well. I guess he got his CPU early before launch day. I just hope his benchmark results aren't redacted also. 😁

That motherboard looks so familiar for some reason 🤣

One area where these chips are weaker is, doing things on the desktop like work apps running, and then going to play some games at the same time. The 285K chip would really need everything closed out on the desktop for best absolute performance in games, maybe even a quick restart. There are only 8 P-Cores. Anything moderately intensive running on the desktop or in the background will tie these cores up for sure. I know this all too well, because I run a gazillion apps at once, and go play games simultaneously while I am waiting on one of my agents to join a meeting or I'm just killing time in general. The 285K only has "24 threads" so definitely. All of this makes me really miss the old days of hardware. MOAR COREZ era lol.
