Plenty of good Encores out there. I think mine just did not play well with that bios I was using. If I'm not mistaken, the very next bios Asus released improved them drastically which came right after I returned mine. My 14900KF is really nice so far. I have not delidded mine yet, I run it at 6.0P/4.8E. The P-cores and E-Cores are really just freakishly good man, this E-SP88 is more like a KS with E-SP105+ or something maybe even more. I remember the E-SP103 KS I tested (During the time I thought that E-SP103 KS was a GOD lol, and it was) but it could not run like this. IMC is also fantastic, I have stabilized 8533C36-49-49-49-34 with 262k tREFI for MEMTESTPRO. My ram kit is the G.Skill 8200c40 kit, and only one of my ram sticks will do 8600+ stable in a testing and pass at 100% or better, while the other stick is limited to 8500+ I really want to buy one of these binned ram kits from China that is guaranteed to run like 8600c36@1.500VDD. (This would be a dream)

Hey everyone!! I reset my iphone and lost my saved login and password to this forum only for some reason lol. I was being seriously lazy as well. But, I reset it 😁

@ryan I’d carefully shop and buy the best parts you can. I fire sold my 13900KS for $375 lol. Anyways, you can find similar deals on other parts just like this. It takes time and searching constantly, but you can make that $1,500 really stretch to a Retail equivalent $2,000+ or maybe even more 🙂

Id grab one of those EVGA 1000GT’s with a EVGA coupon code. Pretty cheap and good enough unit! You may experience coil whine, or maybe not. But it will be 100% reliable. Unless there is another option better quality for cheaper. You can build a beast though man!!! Desktops are AWESOME.

I would grab an Intel A770 100% for the GPU! And also a 14700K or 14900KF. The 14700K offers a tremendous value. It’s really a beast of a CPU and you’ll get the new APO support to help with all the frames you can get. If you’re building your own, you can probably squeeze a 14900KF in to the budget, grab some 7200 XMP sticks as well. Check this out below. Intel i9 14900KF MSI Z790 LGA1700 Motherboard G.Skill 2x16GB DDR5 7200 Intel A770 GPU 2TB Gen4 M.2 (Add PSU) (Add ATX Case) (Add AIO Cooler) TOTAL: $1,216 MSI budget motherboards are amazing simply put. G.Skill ram is also a solid choice for a stable and functioning XMP profiles from the get go. Gen4 M.2’s are worth the small expense over a Gen3 M.2. You more than double the speeds at a small extra cost. I do not think Gen5 M.2 is worth it at all lol.

Gskill 8200’s are amazing @Mr. Fox you need some of these. I would buy from the same vendor too. There is 1 left in-stock. Mine have the same 302A IC’s as the G.Skill 8400 sticks. Mine were made 11/2023.

No reason for not trying KLEVV really.. I just had amazing results with my Gskill 7200’s and I wanted to try the higher bin Gskill 48GB kit. I have more faith in G.Skill with the 2x24’s than any other XMP brand right now. And that assumption is correct again! G.Skill is legit awesome with the M-Die 🥰 I’m testing the new G.Skill 8200@1.350v (2x24) sticks. They are absolutely better than my G.Skill 7200’s. 100%! FINALLY!!! I ran a full stability test at stock XMP 8200 on air cooling with a fan, I managed to identify the best stick very quickly, I passed 105% coverage with full stability on XMP. And I put them both on chilled water with the best stick furthest away from CPU. testing 8400c36 with 1.500v so far with very satisfactory results 😁

Those Patriots are absolutely crap! They will run the stock XMP2, but at what cost? They have no head room at all. I tuned and tuned and tuned, and could not even get 8400c36 to pass stability. Which my own Gskill 7200’s easily manage this and some. I think the best rams available come at a price though. And such ram is your very own Gskill 8000 48gb kit which was originally like 500 dollars. They are very very good. Next up is the Gskill 8400 which is easily the best ram you can buy today. But it’s gonna cost you $399.99 dollars. I have talked to people who own them, those guys are running 8400c36 with like 1.43V VDD. My rams are at about 1.560V for such speeds lol. They are well binned and out of stock 99.9% of the time. My Gskill 8200’s will be here today though. I hope they are golden, but I’m okay with just middle road good too. I’m just after something slightly better than my 7200’s. I think Gskill is the only reputable XMP ram that is worth buying right now. Expensive for top dog, yes! But I had a gift card on Amazon, so I grabbed my Gskill 8200’s for $250.00 not including tax.

BH Photo. @Mr. Fox I'm testing these for my buddy in Malaysia, he bought them and mailed here so I can mail to him. These are only available in the USA. They have screws on the heatspreaders for easy disassembly and they come apart super easy with normal thermal pads!!! And, no RGB lighting to get in the way. Last but not least, they are 8200c38 for a dirt cheap price that is unmatched lol. I actually went ahead and ordered me a set too. They will be here Monday or Tuesday. Also, after mounting that water block you sent me using (4) screws and proper mounting pressure, I ran mcsp for the 2nd time, and it said 89!! 😍 Since I am testing these on just air cooling for now, I’m limiting the tREFI to 65K. I’ll be the first to admit, they run okay on air cooling. 8400c36 with 1.560V VDD/VDDQ is 40C under a 100% stress.

Sorry about that . It’s these sticks. Haven’t tried them just yet. They only cost $230 dollars, and they are “No RGB”

Anyone try these 8200c38 Patriot rams? I have a pair I am gonna try on air cooling.

The day is over mission completed!! DDR5 8533 C36 is STABLE and PASSED!

The strangest thing I have ever seen with a CPU. The tighter the timings, the easier to stabilize (Loose timings just don’t work).😄 Just started memory testing today, this is my first baseline 8400c36 with fully tuned timings. Gonna work on 8533 tomorrow, then hopefully 8600 after that. Just amazed that I stabilized 8400c36 using some 7200c36 2x48 G.Skill’s. How confusing DDR5 is. This IMC is super strong so far.

No, he just told me about the chip. @Papusan tell me about that CL26 DDR5 8300

CENS best chip was SP109.

The E-Cores on the 14900K are very very strong, probably one of the biggest improvements. It’s crazy what even just like low E-SP80’s can run on 14th gen.

Check out the 14900K Binning chart. It's really cool!

New 14900KF R Batch X337R134.

Gear (1) low latency DDR4 performs really well. I had a 11900K that could reliably run about 4066-4100Mhz CL14. Back then, people were only running like DDR5 6000 range with 12900K chips. So it was very competitive. What 14th gen model would you buy to replace a 12600?

Can you still run DDR4 on these newer AMD 7000 CPU’s? How does really fast/tuned DDR4 compare to faster DDR5 7600?

I would give the 8900XTX a try! But, 7900XTX is not fast enough so no on that one. Yes to 8900XT/XTX, I would give one a whirl 100%. I think with AMD’s next GPU we should see some nice gains where people with 3090/3090Ti are safe to finally upgrade!! I’d also like to try a high end Intel GPU (Please Intel? Where is the Big ARC? Maybe they’ll release an Intel ARC A780X or A790X . Otherwise, I think 4080Ti is maybe my next GPU 100% certain. So long as it has the 14,000+ Cuda Cores and 320 bit bus at least. (almost sounds more like a RTX4080 GTS though lol) why only a 320 bit interface? We should have a 352 but bus at least. 🙏 The 4080Ti is the dang “TI” it’s supposed to be brutally fast and hundreds cheaper than the Titan/90 brand GPU! It should offer value with nearly all that peak performance. I hope Nvidia doesn’t release a crap 4080 Ti. It should be within 15% of a 4090 honestly. Prior Ti’s were all amazing besides the 3090Ti. But we’ll see. And, if it’s $1,199 USD. That would be amazing. Same cost as 2080Ti which was an awesome GPU! But I feel like the 4080Ti is gonna have to be strong to be worth $1200 bucks. There’s only so much time left for the beast 4090 to reign supreme. It’s time to offer most of that power and performance, but only at a lower price.

Maybe these specs are true for the RTX4080Ti? If that’s the case maybe it would only be about 20% slower than 4090?

I got the €1550 one for €1348. Yes it was expensive. I’m happy it’s the 2nd best though, and CENS not coming off the 1st best. But I would have gladly taken one of the cheaper ones too. I’m pretty surprised they all sold and went so quickly after a few people including my self bought the very first ones. You had to be fairly quick with his follow up sales post to grab one of the cheaper ones. I looked back in my emails, and saw that I bought my 13900KS in March of 2023. So I had a long run with a below average SP104 KS. I’ll keep this new chip until 15th gen. I’ll be able to get at least a good year out of it. Until 15th gen is out in the wild.

One of my friends bought CENS last R batch chip. He bought the P-SP117, E-SP84, and mcsp85, he paid €1,248 EUROS shipped. So about $1,350 USD. CENS tested over 65 CPU’s and every single one of them was an R batch. So, he was essentially binning and selling the very best, from the “Should be” very best chips. Very nice CPU though. And the prices for these chips are not bad at all, considering what retail US samples are looking like. You are essentially guaranteeing your self a very strong P/E core with low voltages and also a very strong IMC. 😎 I’m all for it! Buy once cry once. Unless KS comes out, then it’s buy once cry twice. 😂

This looks like a really tricky cpu to delid. Not just that, but you have 3 dies to clean and worry over lol. I’ve seen a few of these break after delids. I am starting to change my views on delidding. Of course it works amazingly well on some chips. But I have kind of realized that the gains are only +100Mhz for Intel chips. I am gonna give the stock IHS and stock Intel solder a solid chance with my new 14900KF. And if it’s great I am gonna leave it be. But if it is unsatisfactory, then I’m delidding it and going back to Supercool direct die cooling. I’d rather run the stock Intel IHS and stock Intel solder because of its longevity and consistency after long periods of time. Fingers crossed. With chilled water and lots of flow rate, you’d think it would work extremely well. (I hope so) 🙂
