I’ve got to say, it was a good long run on LGA 1700 and I started late skipping 12th Gen completely lol! LGA1200 launched in 2020, and LGA1700 launched in 2021 🤣. LGA1851 is launching in 2024 😎 Maybe Intel will run 1851 even longer!! (3 years minimum like lga1700 is good ) (4 years for lga1851 would be even better) LGA1700 has been great though. I never personally had too much difficulty with degradation. Had a 13900KS pulling down about 400 watts just earlier today. But I really do hope that Intel gets better. If we look back on the early days for Intel. Which I guess was 1989 when Intel launched their 8086 chip? Anyways, Intel has not released that many sockets. I think it’s less than 13 or 14 sockets since 1989 unless I’m missing some. I guess it would take some serious planning ahead to make a platform socket run for 4-5+ years.

I don’t really know how Intel is going to do with this new gen cpu. It seems like the new 285K is about as fast as a stock 14900KS in R23/R24 Cinebench. So, absolutely no gains in compute I guess. I’m thinking this is kinda like Intel 11th gen all over again? We get 20-25% less threads, and similar multithreaded performance, and slightly better single threaded performance, 11th gen had massive single thread gains. I’m not sure if we will see that here again or what to expect with these new chips, I saw some specific applications where they were like 36% faster in V-Ray bench and some other random situations that is not gaming and is not Cinebench lol. I did also hear the silicon quality is very consistent/tight between the chips though, so that’s good, but also just a rumor as well that early testers are speaking of saying their chips were all similar. I feel like hanging on to a 14900KS this generation might just prove to be the smartest move. Im sure the platform Z890 in 2 years from now will absolutely mop the matured Z790 platform. But, right out of the gate? Probably not. We’ll probably be running something like DDR5 11,000 near the end of Z890’s life span. My favorite comparisons with CPU’s are seeing real-world things ran like (Ashes of Singularity) it seems to show a good improvement with CPU’s and if something may be worthy for a gaming boost. I wish I could how the 285k stacks up vs a 14900KS.

Yeah that’s a nice setup there. Not really sure how I’ll set mine up, so many things left to do right now, we are currently working on completely sealing under the home, so it will be all white plastic, no dirt, something that will stay completely dry and clean, I am considering placing the tank and chiller underneath the home. It’s gonna be time soon for a full tear down and re-build of the whole system though. Almost time to get ready for next gen parts. This rinse repeat process is getting a little tiring, terrible addiction. If there’s anything I’m really looking forward to, it’s gotta be the 5090 most of all. I’m just not looking forward to the scalper fest that comes with it every launch. Intel 285K cpu Apex Z890 motherboard (Or Unify-X) RTX5080/5090 (Probably a 5090) DDR5 8800+ kit of CKD ram.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I move in to the new house, but I’ve been contemplating building inside of a ATX case. Or maybe I will get a long office table against the wall, so I can place the chiller, tank, test bench all in a row so it looks somewhat neat.

here the record low volts for 8800 folks lol. (kidding I have no idea what it may be) Im currently testing DDR5 8800c40@1.400v 🤯 The G.Skill 8200 (2x24) kit is absolutely just pure gold is all I can really say. Pure insanity that it can run 8800@1.400v.

It’s taken years to phase it out. And it’s getting there. These new boards look great though. I don’t even know which one to get? What are you getting, if you get one? (1) Z890 Apex (2) Z890 Unify-X (3) Z890 Tachyon (4) Maybe another option (Asrock loves to price their stuff through the moon lol)

That is ridiculous good looking! MSI is finally back. And now they know it’s in demand since their absence from Z790.

I really think MSI is gonna kill it this go around with Intel boards. I’ve already seen their (2) Dimm Z890 model floating around. MSI Quality is VERYYYY good. I have a MSI mid level PSU, and I’ve had MSI GPU‘s, all of their stuff is very good. Not a huge fan of AsRock bios, but I’d be willing to learn it for the right (2) Dimm Z890 board. If I had to pick, I’d probably take the gamble and get a Z890 Apex. I’ll cross my fingers and start praying I get a good one. I am actually considering selling my white Apex Z790 A04, and SP108 (14900KS), and the G.Skill 8200 (2x24GB) as a combo very soon.

Hopefully they will offer a black and white model. Also, It looks like it has two ram options on the new Z890 Tachyon. The regular DDR5 CKD dimms we will see very soon, and also the new style CAMM2 rams! Early motherboards always get surpassed by further designs. I think buying the very best motherboard early on with Z890 and being very picky that we have the best example of it would be worth it. I look back and think about a “good Z690 Apex” which could hold its own right now, so long as it was not a defective one. Hopefully Asus has gotten better with engineering and consistency. My Z790 Apex has been a beast. It still hasn’t reached its limits. If only I could swap it to 1851 socket lol. Glad the Encore is working. To fix the SP, I usually use the other bios switch, then update the bios on the other switch. That should resolve it. Usually happens to me when I test a different CPU.

Has everyone seen the Gigabyte Tachyon Z890? Definitely looks like the Dark motherboards. It’s a spare chip, so owner said I could play with it for a while.

Someone sent it to me to delid, and I gave it a quick test. Then it accidently loaded my 14900KS’s 8600c36 profile with ease, I was like what the heck….

Testing another good Intel memory controller at DDR5 8800c36. As you can see Z790 Apex+Hynix 3Gbit = Are not the limiting factor.

Yep looks to be a good IMC, just know that when you turn HT off, these chips will gain a tremendous amount of ram OC head room (I don’t think it’s a MONSTER though), some can run 8800c36, or even 9200c42 “depending how good it was before with HT on of course lol”, so it’s kind of like removing one thing, to gain OC head room in another. I guess 20c ram temps is air? 🤷‍♂️ I have no idea. Water cooling is air cooling technically, maybe that’s what he means. Those ram temps like mine though.

It’s all setup! The only items left to do: (1) Concrete+ seal around all of the brick block pillars (2) Brick foundation around the home (3) wood porches/steps around the doors. (4) No grass, over budget lol. I have dirt yard! 😎 haha. (5) Interior wood trim and finish up any Sheetrock work inside (6) many more things needed to be done of course.

Other half.

New home is being setup. They have 1 half out there already 🙂. They poured the concrete pad already, put plastic barrier down.

Not exactly pure stock, but not too far off. I’m running my own XOC profile for my ram. 8600c36-49-49-49-63 with 262k tREFI and fully tuned secondary timings. This 8600 profile increases my Vmin/Vmax by 0.027mv-0.029mv over 8200c40 xmp. This profile is stable for anything, so I don’t touch it unless absolutely necessary. It has built a pretty tall brick wall in stability over all of the reboots and re-trains since I’ve been running it for so long now.

Thats so cool. I’m all in for OLED. This monitor has held up just so dang well. I plan to go another 2K hours on it (Lots of people on YouTube with like 7-8K hours on their LG OLED TV’s with no issues) I was absolutely worried about OLED before getting it, but I have become confident in the technology, we too will probably be buying a LG OLED TV for the new house and not thinking twice about it. The picture quality gets rid of all of the things I hated about LCD panels, TN had washed out faded colors, lacking viewing angles, IPS was always glowing with light bleed, neither one can show the color black lol. The PC market is now full with plenty of awesome OLED monitors.

2,000 hours on my OLED now. I wish I could capture its actual picture quality. But YouTube kind of reduces how it really looks. When you play the video below, adjust it to 1080P, and keep it small. I think that’s pretty close to how it looks.

I always thought the two-core boost was really cool! I always use this option every day. On all my chips, 13900K/13900KS/14900K/14900KS. It seems solid with no signs of degradation from using this on LGA1700 or even LGA1200. I am obsessed with CPU stability, real ram stability, and also CPU degradation lol. I wanted to do a comparison of Auto voltage fixed core 5.9Ghz and also the Auto voltage 5.9-6.2Ghz, just if anyone is curious what it looks like. Run #1) 5.9Ghz locked on (8 Cores) Auto voltage DDR5 8600c36. 5.9Ghz Vcore MAX: 1.305V. 5.9Ghz VID MAX: 1.304v. Load Vcore: 1.217V. Package temp: 70C. Idle Power min 16.3 watts Package power Max R23 single core: 84 Watts. Package power Max multi-core: 314 Watts. R23 ST Score: 2,277. R23 MT Score: 43,377. Run # 2) 5.9Ghz (8 Cores) 6.2Ghz on (2 Cores) Auto voltage DDR5 8600c36. 6.2Ghz Vcore MAX: 1.403v 6.2Ghz VID MAX: 1.405v. Load Vcore: 1.217V. Package temp: 70C. Idle Power min 15.8 watts Package power Max R23 single core @6.2Ghz: 90 Watts. Package power Max multi-core: 313 Watts. R23 ST Score: 2,395 R23 MT Score: 43,389 It is important to note, that my best two cores only reach a max voltage of 1.387-1.396V. Since this is the case, I can lock my voltage to this ceiling and during low loads my voltage will never surpass this on any cores, because only the best cores #4 and core #5 are hitting 6.2Ghz. In the above scenarios the voltage is just auto/default. So, it will kind of go where it wants to on all of the cores, even if only two of them are hitting 6.2Ghz. Fortunately, either setup is full auto, and both run really efficient regardless. We have the same nice low load voltage, only a slightly higher vcore for during 2 core loads when the chips hits 6.2Ghz. One just allows a +300Mhz advantage on two cores. I did not mean to highlight this font like this, it copied the font of the IMG url's I posted. Also, the average voltage seems comparable between the two in my time investigating this.

Well, it has been a fantastic run with Intel making their own chips in house. I guess everything comes to an end. It was awesome having gobs of inventory at launch, chips that never sell out. 😁

Let’s trade 4090’s, and I’ll send some cash too lol. 😆 (Being serious 😄)

Yeah my 3090 Kingpin Hydro Copper overclocked like a MAD MAN! This 4090 Gaming OC does good on ram OC. I have had it set at +1600 on the GDDR6X and that's a 100% reliable OC for it. But the core, lolz even just +135 can crash sometimes with auto fan. I usually run +125 on the core which will give me 2,895-2910. I did the math, and I determined with a water block, and with a chiller, my GPU would probably run about 30c-32c like my 3090KP did. But, even with those CRAZY low temps, I would only gain +6.2 steps on the Nvidia boosting algorithm. So with the card at 35c or less, with my current 2910Mhz it would run 3,000Mhz exactly. That's pretty sad! That is a guaranteed locked in 3.0Ghz no more no less. Unless the core had something magical happen with the temps being really low, like if its below 50c or if its below 40c maybe it miraculously changes its behavior and its happy with 3,100Mhz or something like that lol. But, Its not exactly guaranteed. The only thing that is, is the 3,000Mhz at due to the low 35c load temps which is pretty terrible for any 4090 lol. Your card at 35c would probably run 3.2Ghz+ 🤣

I been thinking about buying another 4090, and selling my 4090 Gaming OC. I can probably grab one for about the same price. I really want a better overclocker lol. Seems like a silly time though since 5090 is close. Maybe I will go ahead and sell mine soon and get ready for RTX5000 series.

Since the latest update, this title runs really well. I leave all of the fancy graphic settings on. Film grain, motion blur, chromatic aberration, all of it looks nice in this title. With DLSS Quality+Frame Gen, and Outlaw Graphics settings which are useable. It can run at 60FPS average. And It looks stunning. One more thing, now I’m not sure if you can Force Rebar on that GeForce NOW setup, but I saw a MASSIVE fps boost from doing so. Something like +6 or 7fps alone. When you are getting only 54-56fps, this is an absolutely massive performance improvement.
