I received the Starwars Outlaws for free with my 14900KS, just waiting on its release! Wukong is really great though! Lots of detail, and it’s very fun, and super rewarding, you seriously appreciate the skills you work for that your human monkey receives lol . Put in about 2 hours and you get hooked. I am at 5.5 hours play time so far. Very fun!

Guys, WuKong combat is so CHALLENGING!!! Not the actual game getting from point A to B. But, just the combat in between. So challenging that when you actually do get past something you’re screaming YESSSS!!!! Yesss!!!! lol. Because your last 4 attempts failed miserably. Sometimes it takes reassigning all your skill points just to beat a boss. I’m genuinely surprised I’m even playing something like this. 🤣 but it’s entertaining. Give it a go @electrosoft

Yeah, I’m not that interested in gaming either. I want to be. But finding games that keep me engaged gets harder the older I get. But I have to keep trying. 🙂 Also, you need to try BeamNG. It’s amazing for those with little/no interest in gaming. Thats why I play, I don’t have the energy for anything other than driving backwards on the race track most days. 😂

99% of the time a mouse and keyboard is great, and I never advocate for a controller my self. But in racing games or sim racing like BeamNG/Forza we need fine throttle and clutch control. Unfortunately, our W button on the keyboard only has one mode for hitting the throttle at 0% gas or 100% gas (That’s how mine is anyways) When you want to rock crawl slowly up a hill without wheel spin on your big 44” tires that are almost completely flat with a V8 twin turbo truck in BeamNG, or drifting, or just general racing, it’s nice having variable throttle/clutch/steering inputs on an Xbox controller. But with this game the controller is only helpful for fighting. It’s a casual laid back experience for the most part, except for fighting a boss, then its edge of seat die over and over and over again until I finally beat the boss. While I understand how lethal mouse and keyboard can be, some games do not require aiming, if you just swing in the direction near an enemy, you’re in that hit box. Any game that requires aiming, you really need a mouse. If you played this, you’d know what I meant. It’s just easier. PS: I wish they made a keyboard with variable throttle. That would be cool! I play BeamNG all the time, and it is the best car game ever. It never gets old building a vehicle how you want, and then just doing whatever with it.

The Wukong black myth is really good. 2nd time playing. This game is very rewarding so far. And the animations are amazing! Also, I highly recommend playing with a Xbox or PS5 controller. As for having top end hardware or not, if you are getting even 28fps, it feels like 60fps with a controller. I think that’s how the majority of people play this title, and it is highly liked. Technically I’m supposed to be working right now 😈 but yeah I’m over here play’n lol.

Yeah, the problem is our random read/writes of even the fastest SSD drives available today, and our limited cache on them, once the cache is full the drives performance is done for, but mainly the random access or random streaming of data once the cache is full, the performance is comparable to that of a regular mechanical HDD read/write speeds. Maybe 70-150MBPS, whereas an Optane would still get like 800-900MBPS. Our consumer drives are crap 🥲 doesn’t need to be as fast as system ram for smooth experience though.

All of the people who swear by the Intel Optanes say it alleviates these issue when games do this. In game loading objects and dropping GPU usage. So I need to just get one already.

From the research I did on this, this is happening because of the random latency and access times of our modern Gen3/4/5 M.2 SSD’s. They are just terrible with random latency response times. I have seen that an Intel P5800X can completely alleviate the issue all together, which was why I kinda got all in to wanting to get one. But we’re talking about owning a crazy expensive 400GB/800GB Enterpise drives that would only hold a couple games and cost a lot of money.

Hey everyone, I bought Wukong Black-Myth. The game is great so far! Running fully maxed out, and it is a very engaging game. The Steam reviews sold me on it. Usually, games aren't reviewed this well at launch, the reviews are as steam says: "Overwhelmingly positive" But it is fun so far. Story seems great! The 4090 strong arms it so I average about 80+ FPS at 4K DLSS Quality+FG with Cinematic graphics. Barely touches the CPU. The game has an issues at times where GPU usage drops for no reason from 99% to 95%. I was walking one time and it hit 89% when it was rendering a boss in the background, makes no sense because I am 100% GPU limited here, and it's using 6-10% of my CPU lol. But most of the time it is 99% GPU usage. But when this happens the 1% lows tank for a moment. They need to fix that. But I am just being picky here.

People are really dumb @Mr. Fox I remember when the 11900K came out, still the largest IPC increase we ever saw with Intel to this day probably, and everyone trashed on the chip. Even though it delivered like 95% performance of 10/20 cores from the 10900K, while only using 8/16 cores in the 11900K. In games the 11900K was a real performer. These chips were very cool! I understand not everyone needed to upgrade, 10900K was already great. Since when is upgrading actually practical anyways though. If we own current gen, and next gen comes out, none of us “Need” to do it, it’s always a want. But it was just hated on so much. I mean, think about how stupid the 14900K is lol. Or even the 14900KS. The 13900K already does what either can do, and it was released almost 2 years ago. And here we all are just eating them up like sweet cakes. The thing is, the 11th Gen Intel was 20% faster IPC over 10th gen. It was almost like, since the 11th gen did not deliver some devastatingly powerful multithreaded blow to the 10900K, and since it had less threads, the chip was immediately no good and was marked DOA, and since everyone in the YouTube channel reviews said it was "NO GOOD" it was for sure "NO GOOD" The only thing good about it were the actual product reviews on Newegg and Amazon. So, this does lead to a "What the hell is actually is good scenario? and who is actually being honest here?" Everyone today only talks about IPC gains, and FPS gains, and gaming performance gains. But the Intel 11th Gen died and went down for being a waste of sand LITERALLY lol. How silly right? Another thing everyone talks about with Gaming rigs is the 7800X3D or Intel 14900KS. All of the AMD Fans will say the 7800X3D is the superior gaming chip. However, we all know the 14900KS will mop the floor with it in any real workloads lol. But no one seems to mention this.. 7800X3D gets a pass in that area. The 14900KS can more than double the 7800X3D's Cinebench score, but since the 14900KS uses double the power as well, it's just not acceptable whatsoever haha. I realize this makes no sense lol. With all of that ^ being said, I have learned that: One weakness is acceptable one minute, and another positive is looked right over the next minute, or vice versa. These reviewers determine if something is worthy regardless of what it may actually be. Whatever one person says, the other probably goes along with. I can see Intel 15th gen already. It has faster IPC, less threads than 14th gen, slightly slower or similar multithreaded performance to that of a 14900KS, (WAIT! This sounds familiar), but it will most likely be a "TOTAL WIN" It all depends on what reviewers say. They determine its fate lol. The only way to know if something is actually any good is to go and buy it, then we see if it’s good for our self lol. If it’s bad we just return it. We always do what we want anyways.

These 14th gen KS chips have some super ring/caches on them for sure. Look at this 5.3Ghz ring, which doesn't even phase the vmin or power consumption. For a chip that is not delidded. This is absolutely fascinating! 5.9P/4.5E/4.5R-5.0R “Auto”DDR5 8600@ 308 watts. 5.9P.4.5E/5.3R DDR5 8600 @ 323 watts. This CPU amazes me with the IMC and ring capability. You can run 5.4 and 5.5 ring, and only then does it begin to push vmin a little. But, if you want to stabilize 4.9E with auto voltage, just pop your ring to 5.4Ghz 🤣 Then it adds just a wee bit more juice which makes 4.9E a reality, and a stable one. 14900KS is a beast, with lots of OC potential.

What about these boutique XOC thermalpaste like KPx or Kryonaut Extreme maybe TFX? How does PTM7958 compare to these? I always notice large changes when swapping to a different paste.

Those voltages on these chips are kinda like a rubber band almost. We may let off the gas, and the voltage climbs to assist with the 6.2Ghz boost, or increasing ring under lite loads, if you’re hitting a 100% load the voltage drops drastically. This game looks like it doesn’t use much CPU, so It makes me think the voltages would be a little higher just because it’s a very light load. And this is the case even if we have all cores fixed to 5.9Ghz. If the voltage didn’t do this, the moment the load is reduced or per core tries to flicker a core to 6.2, or bounce the ring to 5.0Ghz, the cpu would crash. So it’s probably normal seeing high voltage in this game. Your 4090 is really good man. I wish mine did that. Yes I have my own designated office in the new house. We got us the fanciest double wide money available lol. Ceramic title bathrooms, and Sheetrock throughout etc. Can’t wait to see it all setup. I’m ready to move! The current home is a hot box in the summer time for sure.

Been doing some clearing! And my lot is almost ready for the home! Nothing but woods around me. I love it. There is one new home that was built across the street you can see in the pic, but woods to my left, woods on the right, and woods behind me. The 1st pic is my drive way, and I have water hookup, and a culvert pipe! Electric is next, then Concrete pad for the home. The home has already been manufactured, that process took 4 months after the order was submitted for them to build it.

I can actually do this. Don’t make me do it lol. I am already trying to resist going direct die with my chip lol. 8800c38? No problem! I have built a stable profile for it. As for 6.4/4.9+HT on in a game that uses about 6% CPU usage? Done lol. With chilled water + Direct die it’s all doable. The one thing I cannot do is 3,150 on my 4090 because it’s on air. And it’s just a turd.

Time to take the above average ks to the moon on new bios. 🙂

@Mr. Fox can you post the link to the that Apex 0933 bios again. I can’t find your post. Thank you. I really appreciate it.

I hear ya. I’m going to grab just two retail chips, one at one place, and one at another. And then I will test those. Just looking for a well rounded and good working cpu. Some chips cannot operate properly at all it seems lol.

So who is pre-ordering the 285K? And who is waiting for the possible 295K?

What do you all think is going to happen with next gen Intel launch? The 285K can’t possible be their top dog chip. I mean, it has HT disabled, and it’s only about as fast as a 14900KS. The naming also sounds oddly familiar. “285K” “10850K”… 🧐Makes me think, Intel will drop a new “Value King CPU” the 285K for $449-$499 pricing. And then they release the real beast chip to compete with AMD 9000 X3D chips in the coming months. Maybe that will be the “Ultra 290K” or “Ultra 300K” 🙂 Something about the 285K competing at similar performance of the 14900KS seems a little suspicious to me. Intel has always been after that R23 MT score 😂 I am curious to see how this plays out. And I will more than likely wait to see the chips launch. Hopefully we will see a Special Edition.

Watching these videos baffles me. I keep hearing him talk about "this CPU is only 3% faster in gaming" "theirs was 5% faster in gaming, but its not all that much fast" Where is this performance coming from? I am GPU bottlenecked like the rest of us. 🤣

I couldn’t even bare it. The chip was just completely unstable on auto/default everything and DDR5 5600. I ran it for like 3 hours last night trying to see if I could get it working properly. And I couldn’t do anything but crash and run in circles. It acted like a 1000% defective CPU to me. (1) Opening R23 was impossible. (2) Extracting new R23 file would freeze during extraction. (3) opening any game would close to desktop after just a second, even games like BeamNG that are easy to run without shader compiling. (4) The only thing I could run was CPU-Z bench/Stress, which case the temps were really really good. (5) Opening a browser would lose internet connection and say, you‘re not connected to the internet. Using 5.9/4.5/4.5 with DDR5 5600c46 complete auto settings was next to impossible. I increased SA voltage which actually helped stability a little bit. R24 load would shoot load voltage up, and crash before it even started. It would only run properly if the chip was de-tuned to 5.6P/4.3E. Then it was useable as a chip. I did test memory stability at which passed fine as well. I pulled the chip and put mine back in. Here are a few pictures of the CPU.

This SP103 is toast! I feel bad for the guy who bought it. I went straight to direct die, didn’t even test it before hand. But the chip needs like 1.225v just to run 5.6P at 48c package temp. Someone smoked the chip. 5.7/5.8/5.9 are all completely unstable. Launching anything other than a browser will BSOD. Turning off or reducing the E-Cores helps a lot. So, all I could get “Kinda useable” was 5.6P/4.3E/4.5R on direct die+ chilled water. 😂 Wonder if that’s why it was only $400 bucks for a 14900KS. 🤔 Anyways, I tried everything I could with the CPU. It just can't run at all without failing it seems. The chip refuses to launch R23 under any circumstances. Any light games are closing to desktop. This chip is defective, or it was cooked with so much voltage that it is so degraded it can barely run anymore at all. Since it needed about 1.225V for 5.6P and still would fail to run R24 consistently this makes me think it has been degraded or abused. But, I do not really know. I have never dealt with a CPU like this. I spent a lot of time with it. Not sure what it may be. 🤷‍♂️

You do not want to use CMO files from other bios. You will have to make a new profile from scratch on the new bios always for best results. Sucks but, that’s just how it is. The reason why this instability happens plain and simple is because you are too close to the IMC limits, any little thing that isn’t exact as before, will throw it for a loop. So when you go back to those settings one little thing prevents it from being stable. That is why the term. “Re-train stable” is used with these latest Intel chips. “Re-Train stable” is when you can stabilize a profile, save the profile, reset your bios, re-load that profile on that exact bios, and it will be 100% stable no questions asked. Now, you are going to have to make a new profile with all new bios for best results. Thats what I do. It’s a hassle. But it just saves time in the long run. Because you are working up a stable profile for that bios. But, here’s the thing, not being re-train stable can occur at any time. What you need to do is this: (1) Pick your favorite bios ME etc (2) Build up a stable profile that can pass 1usmus 3 cycles. (3) Save the profile (4) Turn off the PC, flip PSU switch off for 1 months minute. (5) Power on PC, go and see if it can pass 1usmus 3 cycle again. The process from flipping PSU switch back on forces a re-train on the next power up, and if it’s not stable on the next stability test, it is due to being very close to IMC limits. If anything hangs over the edge, it’s immediately not stable.

You ever have any retrain stability problems? I did with my r-batch with 8400/8533. I could get it absolutely stable 100%, try a different bios, switch back to old bios, load exact setting and profile to a T. And it would not be stable anymore. So I’d have to “Re-gain stability again” It’s always what Buildzoid talks about with these Intel memory controllers.
