Rage Set

I am in a wait and see mode. The more I've researched W790, the more I see that Intel simply slapped "overclocking" as an afterthought. So I am not enthusiastic that Intel will fix its approach with W890. As for AMD, I will give the 9950X3D a cursory lookover but I am not bullish on it either. The saving grace for that CPU is that I have a mobo available that will work with it, otherwise I am going to stick with the 7600X for longer. The only thing I can look forward to hopefully is the 5090. Hopefully, Nvidia doesn't release a 5090 TI this generation or I am going to be seriously pissed.

So it's Ryzen first gen all over again. Instead of AMD competing with the 6950X/7980XE, it's Intel's turn to compete with the 13900K/14900K? The true end of an era.

I believe I am getting the Z890 + CPU, however, I want to make sure 1851 will have at least two generations. The on and off rumor of it being limited to one generation is worrying me.

Outside of the idiotic Intel protections, my doubts about the 285K and the 1851 as a whole have tempered a bit. I think Intel allowing the E cores to potentially overclock like crazy is the saving grace. I am very intrigued about this platform now. EDIT: Guys, I think we need to relax. OC'ing isn't dead, at least not for guys like us. We will still be able to extract more performance out of these chips and some of the "guardrails" will be removed when Intel realizes people aren't happy. In Jay's video, you noticed he said DLVR Bypass isn't available at launch. That means Intel is likely taking a wait and see approach. Give it some time and I say, wait for the reviews.

Good. You can finish what I was going to do. I had the CPU (twice even) but couldn't get a mobo that wasn't outrageously priced. I still want one, but I'll probably settle on a W790 setup. I am in love with Proxmox, and my goal is to consolidate my home lab servers into one and then virtualize everything.

LOL. That is the one thing I have not spent money on...a gaming chair. I still use an old wooden chair that I believe is from the 70's. The one chair I had my eye on for the past four years is the HarmanMiller Aeron Chair that I keep hearing is amazing but my wife would kill me if she found out I paid over $1000 for one. I also heard you can get them used for 300 to 500, but I never see them for that price locally.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/qualcomm-has-explored-acquiring-pieces-intel-chip-design-business-sources-say-2024-09-06/ I've been saying, without fanboyism tones or malice, but Intel as we knew it... Is going to disappear. It's mostly self inflicted. Other companies are circling Intel like hungry sharks. AMD fanboys are lavishing in all of this news but AMD isn't as bulletproof as they think they are.

Here you guys talking about AMD vs Intel but you guys haven't heard that everything we love is pointless....if you take the writer at xda-developers.com word's for it. https://www.xda-developers.com/overkill-pc-building-trends-not-worth-the-trouble/ 5 overkill PC building trends that aren't worth the trouble - You only have to take a look at the comments to figure out this guy shouldn't be writing for a tech website. What in the heck happened to that website? I remember getting ROMs for my phones from this website and now they are hot take artists.

The key takeaway from Puget's data is how conservative they set their BIOS settings for both Intel and AMD. I.E. Puget sells workstation PCs where longterm stability is the selling point, performance is likely second or third. AMD's 7000 series is a furnace with default settings just like Intel's initial "let the mobo makers choose whatever they want" settings. I stated in the past few years that Intel was heading towards catastrophe. This was coming from me at a time when I was a proud self-proclaimed Intel fanboy. Admittedly, it was due to my now defunct company and having some direct contact with Intel. I saw the writing on the wall when the reps we were dealing with were changing every 4 to 6 months. Sure TO is high in consumer CS roles, but B2B reps generally stick around for years until promoted. Intel will make it through this but they will be vastly different than they are now. I won't be surprised when they go fabless just like AMD.

Is this the prelude to the all P-core processors that are rumored? @Mr. Fox @Talon https://wccftech.com/intel-14th-gen-desktop-cpus-no-e-cores-core-i9-14901ke-flagship-8-p-cores-5-8-ghz/ I am actually curious about the 14901KE for homelab server use - https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/238781.html

The most I've spent on a keyboard is $250 about a year and a half ago. However, I've learned that what I purchased is a toy compared to the fully custom keyboards that a couple of my friends have. They have spent thousands on one or two keyboards. I can't laugh at them too hard, knowing how much I've spent on custom cooling parts and camera lenses.

Remember, before I purchased the Asrock 6900 XT, I posted here about them in regards to the warranty voided information they had on their website. I wrote to their customer service about it (never got a response) that I would be reporting it. I screenshot and downloaded their warranty pdf, filed a complaint with the FTC. About a month ago, I checked Asrock's US website, and all of the language about voiding your warranty if you remove the sticker or open up your GPU is gone. While the public information is gone, I don't know if their internal processes reflect the change. I haven't needed to use their warranty.

I know Asrock was doing this but I didn't know Zotac and Gigabyte were placing Warranty Voided if Removed stickers. I one of those that reported Asrock to the FTC about those illegal stickers. https://www.techspot.com/news/103669-ftc-warns-pc-manufacturers-consumers-have-right-repair.html

Brother, my storage arrays are limited by cooling, otherwise I'd have a SAN set up in my homelab. Strictly speaking of raw storage, I'm in the 500TB+ club. Not including any of my SSD storage arrays. All of this requires a lot of power but that's where solar comes into play. Some of you don't know but I'm a huge Prepper. Back into the lurking shadows I go for now.

I have a lot of experience with them in an enterprise environment and "proconsumer" homelab. The one drive I really pushed people to get was the Intel P4510 8TB when it was down to $399. While not as fast the 5520, it featured the same full 1DWPD as the 5520. As you stated in your bulletpoint list, these "older" drives are great and there is no downside besides price...well there is the lack of real warranty (Solidigm took over Intel's drive business, but you have to purchase from them to get the warranty). Like the P4510, people like myself are waiting for the 5520 to hit $500 or below to pounce.

That was a good video. It is my curse...storage. I am literally looking at 14 to 16TB drives for my new NAS builds.

KP is back....with PNY?! So my next card will be a KP PNY 5090. Never thought I'd writing that.

I don't believe this guy at all. I mean, he's knowledgeable enough about the 4090 AND the CM adapter, not to mention being able to go into CM's Reddit to complain...but completely oblivious the past 14 months about dying 4090's???! I am not giving CM a free pass on this entire situation, but in this case, I call BS.

Why are you trolling with that username. You and I discussed how bad that mobo you have, is. Guys, this is just one of the guys I work with. While he is currently using an AMD platform, he is going to Intel for a particular reason...which I won't say. Gamerboys. Smh 😆 EDIT: Your RAM isn't running at 4800 anymore. It's running at 6000. I changed that when you brought your PC to the office.

Guys, I have some young men that are showing some interest in overclocking, joining the forum. @Mr. Fox @electrosoft @Talon @Raiderman @Papusan I need your help to educate these men, move them from gamerboys to overclockers. To those I'm writing about, don't be afraid to ask questions.

Since I skipped the 40 series...., I'll be in line for a 5090 (I've been saving for it). It will be my luck that I pick up a 5090 and they introduce a 5090 TI/Super later. I will be picking up the next ARC GPU, because they are fantastic when it comes to compute in video editing. I'll go back to AMD if/when they develop another high-end GPU.

I believe the 5000 series was the last to allow vBIOS flashing, whereas 6000 series still allowed you to use tools like MPT. 7000 series is as locked down as Nvidia's cards.

Hahaha, no. It is going under custom water. I only used the air cooler in the review to showcase Corsair. I am researching the best options for blocks that are not tailored to direct die. Thanks bro!

All of this talk of an air cooler that can't cool a fiery 14900KS at over 300W has me laughing. I tried cooling a 14900KS with air cooling in an upcoming review, hahaha.

I still buy gaming laptops, but they are no on the bleeding edge. My "current" gaming laptop is a Lenovo 7 with a 11980HK/3080 16GB. I have always been desktop first, laptop second. I came on NBR in 2015/2016 because I was interested in getting a Clevo DTR and I started reading posts of Mr. Fox and others overclocking these machines. I purchased Mr. Fox's 980 Clevo and the rest is history.
