Its undervolted. I’m kinda slowly dropping it off. Just to find a good stable baseline for 5.5Ghz all cores. It’s less power than my last CPU and so much faster.

My 13900KF overclocked is literally 300% faster than a stock 11900K in R23 MT. Pretty crazy. Great chips for sure. I’m testing mine at 5.5Ghz all cores, HT enabled, E-Cores enabled, and it’s peak power is 250 watts during R23 still scoring 40,660. I’m losing nothing in terms of performance and it brings the 13900K down near the AMD 7950X in terms of power levels. Good AIO could handle that. Definitely an improvement over last Gen.

I got a private message from CENS he wants to buy my 13900KF and LN2 it apparently.

Have you tried maybe 4000~4266 in Gear 1?

Yeah I thought it was my cpu at first lol. It was clocked fairly high, or maybe even my really high tREFI. But it wasn’t either of those things. I reset bios and started fresh with XMP 7200 auto everything else, and it’s good to go. I jacked up memory frequency to even 7400 and it was still good to go. So far It’s either CPU SA voltage too low, or CPU VDDQ/VDD voltage being too low I’m thinking. I dropped SA to 1.150 and it wasn’t good. I did 1.300 SA and it’s stable. Now to slowly lower the others.

My XMP 7200 is stable but that’s with auto auto SA/IO voltages, which seem really high. My manual settings of lowering the SA/IO voltages instantly crashed in game. So I need to slowly dial them back and see where it’s good at.

44,270 in Cinebench R23 (This time no condensation, and a lot warmer water) Overclocking the E-Cores more did the trick easily. Honestly, since the new cold plate things have totally changed! 13900KF 5.9Ghz P-Cores, 4.7Ghz E-Cores, 5.1Ghz cache

The bottom was fine I'm sure. All that water on the top just looks real SCURRY, so I turned the PC off. I can't afford to burn anything up. Anyways, here is 6Ghz P-cores, 4.5Ghz E-Cores, 5.1Ghz Cache. Almost had 44K.. I didn't change the priority of R23 like a doofus. I feel like this CPU has some real potential though.

I got through R23 at 6Ghz P-Cores, 4.5Ghz E-Cores, and 5.1Ghz Cache, with only 1.360V 😃 @365 watts peak ..package temps were still like 80C, imagine this CPU with a delid. Screenshot inbound and coming. I had to power off my PC and let it dry real quick though.

5.9Ghz R23 coming right up guys. I’m chilling my water down just a little. 60F, Nothing crazy. Should be a 44K+ score.

I found the slow down in Windows 11, Core Isolation was enabled somehow. 😏 This single setting stole away an entire +1 bin in cpu performance and some extra on top.. I ran memory read again, and it’s 120,650Mb bandwidth. 😁 DDR5 Is INSANE!! OMG

Yeah it’s the motherboard making the sound. The memory just triggers it some how I guess. could you possibly share some timings as a good baseline?

DDR5 7400 is literally SCREAMING! Take a listen. I’ve always had these sounds, but not one this COOL!!

You’ve got a good IMC for sure. I guess that also translates to DDR5 as well? You may just need some Hynix A-Die for full potential. But this cpu alone will probably give you a little more head room with your really good Hynix M die ram.

ddr5 7200 just showed up. @Talon What is your CPU VDDQ voltage for DDR5 7200 XMP?

Windows 11 is killing my R23 numbers. I have gotten 5.9Ghz all P-Cores stable with reasonable power levels about 350 watts or so. But, my score numbers are low.. Only 43K+ My updated windows 10 OS was so much faster. This Windows 11 OS is just terrible with benching for sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve got the chip, I’ve got the cooling, but my OS is a garbage bloated turd… 5.9 all P-Cores is FAST btw. Bios voltage is only 1.330V!!!! I’m starting to believe I do have a great chip. The simple fact that I can run R23 at 5.9. I believe the new cold plate is what has done all of this and made this possible. That last one was extremely clogged up.

@Mr. Fox What is Sp?!!!!!!!! Waiting anxiously.

It would be cool if every time a new launch came, we could all get a pallet of (100) samples to test from and keep the best few! We send the rest of the duds back with a note that says “TO INTEL: Try harder next time” One thing I learned is, if all CPU’s were golden we wouldn’t know what a dud was. And then it wouldn’t be exciting at all if we got a great sample.

You planning to bin for a gold sample 13900K?

Im curious of your results! Especially after delid.

Hey, now Corsair and others needs to release a “Fire extinguisher for ATX cases” it’ll be sold as an accessory with included mounting, and it has 120/140 mounting holes. It can bolt on the back 120 slot of a case for quick access just in case your RTX4090 catches fire. Miniature fire extinguisher.

@electrosoft More MSI FORCE2 results and SP rating. I feel like the force rating is not very consistent so far. @Papusan I believe the Molex spec for a single 8 pin is 324 watts. But due to crap PSU’s existing in the world, the ATX spec for a 8 pin pci cable is 150 watts.

They should’ve just done (3) 8pin pci-e plug style on the 4090’s, I imagine it would have been okay right? I’ve pulled over 800+ watts with furmark for no other reason than just to see how high the power usage can go. My plugs are bent kind sideways too. No issues at all.

Long time no see. How are you?

I’m really happy with my 13900KF. I think its a keeper for sure. I’m really glad I upgraded. Massive improvement over the 11900K. Looking at how these compare to 12th Gen it is just amazing! PS: DDR5 7200 will be here tomorrow Hynix A die. @Mr. Fox Delidding your 12900KS only builds that confidence for the 13900K delid. I think 6Ghz all core is very doable once delidded. Anyways, no matter how many times we’ve delidded, after that 11900K incident yeah I’d be nervous about Delidding too, I tore my 1st 11900K up pretty bad ripped of (16) small SMD’s. Confidence is put in check real quick after something like that with these small fragile components. But, I’m very glad it was successful on your 12900KS. Did you heat it up first? Or just pop the IHS cold? Maybe you did too many good delids, and with the 11900K you’re like pshhhh walk in the park, I got this, delid # 398 coming right up, easy peasy lemon squeezy, I can do this with eyes closed, one hand tied behind back, “Crunch” oops. 😄
