Anyone have a Microcenter near them, they could see about maybe buying a Asus Z790 Hero and I could buy it from them and pay shipping.?😞 I cannot find one that is reasonably priced at all. They are all $775-$1,000 USD online and then taxes and shipping on top of that. The scalper industry is just so sad right now.

13900KS is only $699.99 MSRP. I think it’s like $60 more dollars.

13900KS is in stock on Newegg. $729. They are scalping it for some reason lol. 13900KS is really only $699.99 MSRP. @Talon is probably playing with his right now. I’m curious to know how it comes out. Anxiously waiting numbers.

Yeah this has been a really fun CPU. I am genuinely shocked that I have the (16) E-Cores R23 stable at 4.8Ghz. That is madness.

This SP121 P-Core 13900K is a BEAST in the EAST chopping down a very respectable 45,200 in R23 lol. My water is not even that cold. Maybe 17-18C. This chip is really good.

R23 run. Water temp is 18.3C

Koolance QD3 Quick release fittings. Well worth the money!!! I wish I would have ran these sooner. I’m getting more of these for sure! They are just amazing.

I am wondering if it’s gonna be like the 12900KS. Lower SP 12900KS was actually better than higher SP 12900K. I’ll say the VID’s don’t look very good on it though compared to my SP121 P-Core. I’m sure Intel test these chips for other abilities and not just SP rating alone. They could scale really well for all we know. I know the 12900KS had a +300Mhz all core boost over the 12900K. That’s huge! But the 13900KS only has a +100Mhz boost over the 13900K. I believe they launch on January 3rd. Who’s buying one? I think they’ll be awesome because you’re guaranteed at least a better bin. And it’ll clock good enough. SP115+ P-Cores is definitely no slouch. That’s an extremely good 13900K.

It is definitely an improvement. Average P-Core SP for 13900K was only like SP106. Now we don’t know if that 13900KS is average or maybe it’s below average. We’ll have to wait and see. But at least you are guaranteed a better chip with the 13900KS.

Someone has a 13900KS on overclock forums. They posted screenshots and SP ratings. The 13900KS runs 5.6Ghz all cores, and it will boost (2) cores to 6.0Ghz. The chip has an overall SP rating of SP105, and a P-Core SP of 115, and a E-Core SP of SP85. Either way, SP115 P-Cores is definitely far above the average for what the normal 13900K is.

I finally ordered some Koolance quick release fittings! I’m so excited to get them. I went with the male G1/4 quick release models that screw right in to the water block directly. And also the female 10/16 compression style will go right on my tubing. So they will hook up kinda like an impact gun, and an air hose lol. I ordered these for my Supercool direct die waterblock. I’ll be able to quickly remove it without much effort. I’m gonna add some to my GPU next, then my radiator, then my chiller, and even my water pumps lol. I figure it would be so nice to quickly be able to remove tubes and components without draining any water. It is expensive for (4) fittings which will cover only (1) component.

I want to live somewhere like that! Me and my wife both work from home, so it’s definitely possible. Especially when our kids get a little older. They are still only like 10-11 Y/O. The weather and roads were like that one time near where I live now. But I’ve only seen it once or twice in my whole life. It’s so fun to see it, and drive on roads like that.

Honestly, it has SP121 P-Cores and 6Ghz is too easy, so I may just try that out. Before going direct die, I could run 6.2-6.3-6.4 on the cores for gaming with E-Cores and HT still on.

Silicon has come so far though, if we didn’t have E-Cores, everyone with 13900K would be around SP110 or higher. That overall SP is really brought down by that e-core sp.

That’s what it looks like to me. My very first 13th gen that I pre-ordered was a 13900KF. It was a very good chip! I benched 6.0Ghz P-Cores with really cold water. It wasn’t stable but still, the chip was really good. I’m thinking SP116+ You can find good with either model though. But yes, slightly better chances with KF.

Igor’s lab tested (500) 13900K/KF CPU’s for P/E core SP, and IMC SP ratings lol. It looks like Intel was clearly binning for 13900KS inside of the 13900K chips. The 13900KF bunch found numerous chips beyond an SP rating of SP105+ but in the 13900K bunch, that was not the case. Based on the 13900KS’s specs, It looks like they just select a SP103-SP105+ CPU to be the target chip. This is all speculation, but it makes sense. Of (132) tested 13900K CPU’s (2) SP110 was found (1) SP113 was found (1) SP114 was found (7) SP108 was found https://www.igorslab.de/en/intel-13th-gen-raptor-lake-binning-over-500-cpus-tested-part-1-i9-13900k-and-13900kf/ I have a 13900K SP110, but I didn’t realize it’s that difficult to find one, even in a pile of chips that dang large!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! happy holidays!!

Thank you for sharing. Those fans are blowing stuff around on the table lol. Your home looks so nice and cozy inside, I love it. Merry Christmas Papusan.

6.0Ghz P-Cores 4.7Ghz E-Cores 5.3Ghz Ring 🤩 309 watts 😍

Very nice results.

Nvidia is a jerk, so no they probably won’t add it… lol. I have a heavy OCed 3090, and I’m gonna say it’s probably only a little slower than a 4080 in situations without DLSS. The 3090’s all have the hardware on board for frame regeneration. Maybe Nvidia would add this after the 4000 series has already been around for a little while. But if they added it now, I think little reason would make a 4080 look desirable afterwards. I wish they would though.

My journey is finally complete! I have a golden chip, and its setup exactly how I want it. 318 watts max through R23 6.0Ghz P-Cores, 4.7Ghz E-Cores, 5.1Ghz Ring This is a STRAIGHT 6, just like the old days! 😁

6.0Ghz P-Cores "Auto voltage" 4.8Ghz E-Cores "Auto voltage" 5.1Ghz Ring DDR5 7400 C34 (Optimized Timings/RTL's) @1.395V in bios. 1.050V SA Voltage 1.250V VDD2 1.250V VDDQ (32) iterations of HCI Memtest. This is really a nice gaming profile right here. Yes 4.8Ghz on the E-Cores loses massive amount of efficiency. But its stable. And it is a MONSTER. I am heavily limited by my DDR5 and Unify-X. I wish I just had some Greensticks. I can stabilize DDR5 7600-7800 for games, but it's not really stable though. My IMC seems to be amazing, because I can reduce supporting CPU IMC voltages quite a bit. I can probably go below 1.00V on the SA, and 1.200V on the VDDQ/VDD2 voltages.

I have the newest revision coming. Someone was running it on their 13900K and they broke the chip apparently via accidental SMD removal, and they sold me the supercool DD block. I had to pay $150 shipped for it though 😞. They are hard to come by in todays time. The guy making them is backed up with orders. I’m running 6.0P, 4.8E, 5.1R on my current CPU for gaming work etc and hoping this will tame down temps during some heavier benches.

I lapped the IHS on my 13900K. And saw roughly 3-5C reduction on the cores. Most likely I am going to run the “Super cool” direct die setup like all these other guys are running though. Anyone have a Supercool direct die they’d be willing to sell? I have heard that 12th gen and 13th gen are the same.
