Here we go.... Test : Intel i9-14900K, i7-14700K et i5-14600K overclocking.com https://overclocking.com/test-intel-i9-14900k-i7-14700k-et-i5-14600k/ The final word : You will have understood, we were not excited by this 14th generation and that is quite logical since it is only a refresh. It's difficult to recommend these processors if you are already equipped with a 13th generation CPU, especially since the socket of the next motherboards may also change. Now, if you are switching to the LGA-1700 socket for the first time , then look at the price differences between these two generations of processors and opt for the best performance/price ratio.

Close to 10% state tax above the advertised price? Or do they also charge shipping on top?

Be happy you don't live in U.K or in the colder and rainy place long up here in the North 🙂 Retail in U.K want $915.21 USD. Or you better say you have to pay 41% above your U.S friends. Some are blessed with less greedy Governments and less greedy retail shops. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-rog-maximus-z790-apex-encore-intel-z790-s-1700-ddr5-pcie-50-5x-m2-25gbe-wifi-7-atx Or an 12900K and you need the 45-50% higher multi threaded performance. But if you want an very snappy Cpu then keep your older 10th or 11th gen Cpu. That one's will serve you better🙂

The elite will always get the good one. Hope some of us others also can geat an nice "retail" sample... Because we won't get handpicked samples https://hwbot.org/submission/5374278_elmor_cpu_frequency_core_i9_14900kf_(8p)_9043.92_mhz https://hwbot.org/submission/5374309_fredyama_superpi___32m_core_i9_14900k_(8p)_3min_3sec_230ms https://hwbot.org/submission/5374257_ogs_hwbot_x265_benchmark___4k_core_i9_14900kf_(8p)_41.14_fps https://hwbot.org/submission/5374260_ogs_cinebench___r20_core_i9_14900kf_(8p)_12490_cb https://hwbot.org/submission/5374258_ogs_cinebench___r23_multi_core_with_benchmate_core_i9_14900k_(8p)_32626_cb https://hwbot.org/submission/5374309_fredyama_superpi___32m_core_i9_14900k_(8p)_3min_3sec_230ms https://hwbot.org/submission/5374286_lupin_no_musume_memory_frequency_ddr5_sdram_5806.5_mhz @jaybee83My oldest son got my Z690 board and 13900K for free due he helped me with my dog when I and my wife was on summer vaccation. Hence I ordered the new Z790 Apex Encore board and 14900K. Othervise really no need for the upgrade sidegrade. I was just lucky with the time I ordered the 14900K. It was on discount on launch day here home🙂 And that's not normal here home.

From 11:08 https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-asus-strix-maximus-z790-owners-thread.1800191/post-29247416 I guess an ok'ish upgrade if you lost in the silicon lottery for 13900K or have an 12900K to max out the upgrade path for socket 1700. Cheaper than 13900KS is still something......

I don't think 14700K with 4 more e-cores and slightly higher boost clocks will be easier to cool down than the 13700K. Just look at the 13700K review from Techpowerup https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i7-13700k/23.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14900K 100MHz higher clock vs 13900KS with same voltage. But the MC is worse than for the 13900KS.

Right now. All of the 14900K/KF is sold out here home🙂 And for the records... The 14th gen chips got an nice discount under launch day here home. That probably also helped to sell out on first day. And it seems nvidia also have no problem get rid of their 4090's......... Nvidia RTX 4090 Prices Have Been Creeping Upward Despite being Nvidia's most expensive consumer graphics card, demand for the RTX 4090 apparently remains high, and we've noticed that the Founders Edition model is routinely going out of stock regularly. It's the fastest card in our list of the best graphics cards, but for most of the past year it has been available at or just under MSRP. Now that's no longer true, as prices of AIB partner RTX 4090 cards have increased by $50 over the past month. At present, the least expensive 4090 cards we can find in stock cost $1,654.99 from Amazon or $1,649.99 at Newegg. Faulty 12VHPWR Adapter (v1.1)

Test: Intel 13th Gen on the ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore overclocking.com Not much added features.... A mem fan kit that is oriented wrong vs the mem sticks placement. But I like the change going back to black. DIMM Flex uses a thermal sensor installed on the back of the PCB under the memory modules as well as a controller to monitor temperatures. Depending on this, you can pre-define three profiles. When the temperature increases, you will move from profile 1 to 2, or even to 3 if necessary. If your kit is compatible then the option will be available within the BIOS. You can already take a look at the video posted by the ASUS team on this new option. We will come back in more detail on this option during our overclocking tests with this ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore. Finally, there remains one option but which we cannot yet talk about since it is particularly related to the 14th generation processors. Still a little patience. You can find Asus Rog Max Z790 Apex Encore on Asus webpage now... https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z790-apex-encore/spec/

The gamer-kids need all the time for tuning in the bling bling. One click overclock have it's place into this but will come second or last. But......... Alienware Aurora R16 Adds Intel 14th Gen Core, RTX 4090 Configurations

Step two. Ordered the 14900K. Only 3 stock left now 🙂 7790,- nok = $711 USD or $569 without tax. So cheaper than Intel's $589 MSRP without the Norwegian tax. Will arrive Papusan's plaza between 18-24 October. Yep that's good news. In facts $569 without the dreaded Norwegian tax means cheaper than Intel's MSRP 🙂 And this in the hight cost country as Norway. Edit. The only difference between 14900K vs 13900KS I can spot is the one bin higher clocks on the baby cores. Yup, Intel know how to milk.

No price increase for the Intel Core 14000 series Processors today 11:22 Fresh images confirm that the Core 14000 "Raptor Lake Refresh" for desktops will retain the same target price as the previous generation.

AMD also introduced crashes, and performance issues in other popular multiplayer titles with their newest driver. As always, new/newer is always better bro @ryan😀 AMD's Anti-Lag+ issues causing bans, crashes, and other issues in several online games Preventing users from playing games might not be the best approach to reducing lag @tps3443 Have you tried remove the new tank and see if the problems go away?

Bro. Sign into Aqua Computers forum. They will help you if you have some questions... https://forum.aquacomputer.de/weitere-foren/board8-english-forum/ Btw. Did you chech Hwinfo if you see info in the sensors and or use their software? https://aquacomputer.de/software.html https://licensing.aquacomputer.de/shop/aquasuite Can I use my devices without purchasing the update service? Yes! In the setup of the aquasuite software you always have access to a free version. Newly purchased devices always include an update service. The duration of the service begins with the start of the aquasuite software or its setup.

I have the flow meter. You have the pump. Maybe read the manual... D5 NEXT User and installation manual - D5 NEXT - Aqua Computer Aquacomputer D5 Next pump review. - YouTube

Great that you now have more options. Imyself sit on the fence reduce my 1GIG fiber line down to 500. Will see how much I can save going this route. It's only me an my wife in the house now so the need for fatest speed is less than before. Btw. AMD offer exactly what their consumers want. See link below 🙂 As long the people get the cards replaced I don't think we will see people suing Cablemod. Maybe if they are angry enough because they need to wait several weeks for the repaired cards. Time will tell. I expect nvidia will be sued first😁 Btw. Do you enjoy Geforce now? Mr. Jensen mean this services is all too cheap in Canada. Hence the price hike by 40%. So be very happy they didn't do an 4080 once again and increased the sub by +72% Nvidia Increasing GeForce Now Subscription Prices in Some Regions AMD Counter-Strikes Itself, Pulls Driver After Anti-Lag Feature Causes CS2 Bans AMD's latest Radeon driver makes Valve's anti-cheat system think that the user is cheating. AMD quickly withdrew its latest Radeon driver this afternoon because using it with Valve's Counter Strike 2 could result in a ban by the Valve Anti-Cheat tool (h/t @9550pro). AMD promises to fix the issue, whereas Valve plans to identify affected users and reverse their ban once everything returns to normal. Meanwhile, the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.10.1 driver also supports three major titles: Assassin's Creed Mirage, The Lords of the Fallen, and Forza Motorsport. Therefore, the retraction affects gamers who want to play these titles with the latest drivers.

LOOOL Asus has become Dell light/sibling. They offer Microsoft old bios updates for Win patch servers that shouldn't be installed if you have upgraded to newer processors. See it this way.... You uppgraded from 12900K to 13900K on your Z690 Apex board and Windows update want that you upgrade to an older bios version that don't support 13th gen processors. Perverse. All newer bios versions released last months is for the coming Raptor Refresh (14th gen) and a very few security patches. There is no need for them if you don't intended to upgrade your Cpu. Only upgrade if you need the compatibility with new hardware. And if you have to upgrade sBios then the newer MEI firmware is also needed. If you don't do it the correct way with some MB brands then you are doomed to run into problems. Use MoKiChU drivers for Asus boards. Many pure INF drivers. Here's the link... https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/hardware-build-advice/index-all-my-drivers-firmware-software-threads/td-p/827232 I never use any of the drivers from Asus support website. As long there is a chance to get clean drivers with less bloat, I will rather use that. They all cater to the gamer kids now. And they buy with their eyes. The more bling... The better.

Aqua computers offer good parts so I think what you'll archive will be good enough. If you see well above 400 l/hour with two D5 pumps then you know something isn't correct with the measurement. Then it show too high l/h flow. What I have seen with higher flow rate (add more pumps).... Doesn't really matter if the heat from the IHS/die doesn't move fast enough over to the coldplate. Dual pumps doesn't help much more than a single pump if the heat can't go fast enough out from the die over to the heatsink. Etc an delidded Cpu with direct die cooling will help much more than add a second or 3rd pump. The weak point is always the heat transfer out from the die and over to the coldplate, then to the water loop.

I paid 36$ in the used market for the Aqua Computer Next. From a parted pc. I have two D5 pumps. But expect less increase in the flow rate for each new added pump above 2 or 3. I mean after the 4th pump you don't see a huge increase in flow rate anymore. See also my older post...

370-395 l/h. Remember the flow rate depends on the water temp. The colder.... The lower flow rate 🙂 Edit.

I have the Aqua Computer Next. Bought it in the used market a year ago. And for below half the price. And yup... I have turned of the RGB😁 I hate bling bling. Official Benchmark Thread* - Post it here or it didn't happen Be aware that you have to pay yearly for license for the software. And I don't want to spend my money for that. Greed is disgusting.

Yup. From that tomshardware article.... "We now know it can take years for symptoms to crop up". Exactly what I have predicted. In short.... Some of you have bought an Ticking Bomb 🙂 Not much plastic left on these thin flimsy power pins. All the cheap plastic have gone up in smoke. Another Asus 4090 melted ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I really look forward to this.... Hope Tomshardware editors have correct... Nvidia have silently changed the 12VHPWR connector so I think people have a good chance to win vs. Nvidia.

Inno3D GeForce RTX 4070 X2 - 12GB GDDR6X RAM - (cheapest 4070 you can find here home) 5,912.00 nok excl. VAT. = $544.71 USD here home. And this isn't with an discounted price. Ordinary retail price.... Not bad when you know how expensive tech can be in Norway 🙂 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not the most known Memory brand. But 8400 MT/s for 123 euros at Amazon. Test: Lexar ARES RGB 6400 MT/s CL32 https://overclocking.com/test-lexar-ares-rgb-6400-mt-s-cl32/6/ This ARES RGB 6400 MT/s CL32 DDR5 memory kit from Lexar is flawless. For a first discovery of the brand, we couldn't imagine better. With the most affordable price currently for 6400 MT/s CL32, it would be a real shame to miss out on it knowing that it is equipped with the best memory chips currently available, the Hynix A-die. Or $88 with an 29% discount if this is the correct mem sticks. Can't beat such deals. Yup. AMD have nothing that can compete with 4090. Hence we never see 4090 below MSRP. And they are still popular cards because of the disgusting prices for the 4080s and still no 4080Ti.

Yees 🙂 I'm not sure about 4070. But a better priced 4070Ti could offer some good value at 650-700$. The GeForce RTX 4070Ti started life as the canceled RTX 4080 12GB which was supposed to sell for $899. So 150$ off would be easier to swallow. The much weaker 4070 shouldn't be a cent above $550.

Everyone know 4060 offer bad value. And Nvidia want to rub it in. You "stupids" who bought this overpriced 128bit scam (in short 4050 card) isn't worthy getting the free bundle with Alan Wake 2. You went too cheapo for Nvidia CEO Jensen's taste(You are not an Graphics entusiast), hence Nvidia want to screw you a second time, LOOL Alan Wake 2 free with (some) GeForce RTX 40 GPUs... Because "some" of you are worth it.... Graphics enthusiasts can qualify for this promotion by acquiring NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, 4070 Ti, 4080, and 4090 graphics cards or desktop PCs. Additionally, laptops featuring a GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, or RTX 4070 Laptop GPU are eligible. The RTX 4060 desktop and 4060/4050 Laptop GPUs are excluded from this promotion, which is scheduled to run until November 17th, concluding on that date. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel’s new driver boost Starfield performance by up to 149%, adds Arc A580 support https://videocardz.com/newz/intels-new-driver-boost-starfield-performance-by-up-to-149-adds-arc-a580-support STARFIELD 1.7.36 UPDATE - FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS GENERAL https://www.techpowerup.com/314558/starfield-gets-new-update-1-7-36-improving-intel-arc-gpu-support-and-adding-fov-slider PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY [PC ONLY] Improved stability for Intel Arc GPUs.

#4080 officially down to $999 is still bad value#. 42% above 3080 is awful. 4090 is 7% above 3090 and this should be the same for all Nvidias graphics SKUs. So no thanks. Still 35% too expensive. BIGGEST GPU DISCOUNT EVER! RTX 4080 HUGE SALE "They are all about the PSUs, KB/M and coolers (in that order) now it seems".Evga have cheaped out and moved to 3 years warranty for their mid tier PSUs. That's worse than many other of the cheaper brands who offer 5 years warranty on PSUs that cost less than the one you get from Evga. EVGA is Dead. And maybe 3 years warranty match when they are out of business? Thanks for posting the video. And very nice to see our old good friends @d2ultima and @DrAMK replied on your video. Edit. @D2ultimaWellcome to new NBR. Nice to see you. And I hope @DrAMK join us as well 🙂
