I'm willing to bet it was more than likely some bios issues, but also some not wanting to give Intel all the data they need for an AM5 comparison for their launch presentation. All of these companies and their games. Latest Dark BIOS seems to have brought some stability to A-Die chips. Just finished up a few rounds of BF2042 at 7400 CL32 and now doing a longer stress test, will let it run for an hour or so and check for stability issues. Then back to gaming and regular use. Next stop 7600 CL32 lol. oh absolutely, those games are being played by all sides. like to that!

Mr. Fox Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 That is how it should be. There is no place for being a gentleman in business. You do what is best for yourself, your company/employees and your customers, in that order. You do what is worst for your competition and do it deliberately. 1 1 WRAITH // Z790 Apex | 14900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO (T-Rex) BANSHEE // X870E Carbon | 9950X | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Antec C8 (Rhinoceros) SPECTRE // Z790i Edge | 13900KS | 3090 Ti FTW3 | 48GB DDR5-8200 | RM1000e | EK Nucleus CR360 Direct Die || Prime A21 (Rattlesnake) HALF-BREED // Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth | 32GB DDR4 | Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | Nothing to Write Home About (Turdbook) Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

ASUS definitely offer feature-packed options, but they have had a horrible track record of failures including a fire and killing a 100+ SP CPU during one of the failures. It is always with great fear and intrepidation I purchase anything from them. When everything goes welll they are outstanding. When you need their help, they suck. If it were not for their poor reliability and lousy warranty service they would be the best. But, most of their competitors offer equally lousy warranty service, so I can't single them out on that character flaw. What is most interesting about my experience is their flagship products are the only ones I have had reliability issues with. The Prime and Strix mobos have been very dependable, but less capable. 2 1 WRAITH // Z790 Apex | 14900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO (T-Rex) BANSHEE // X870E Carbon | 9950X | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Antec C8 (Rhinoceros) SPECTRE // Z790i Edge | 13900KS | 3090 Ti FTW3 | 48GB DDR5-8200 | RM1000e | EK Nucleus CR360 Direct Die || Prime A21 (Rattlesnake) HALF-BREED // Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth | 32GB DDR4 | Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | Nothing to Write Home About (Turdbook) Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

Ashtrix Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Intel announced new Raptor Lake Processors 5.8GHz ST boost as per rumors confirmed, improved IMC for sure, more E cores for all of the stack for MT. Clocks as well, more Chipset lanes for mobos for I/O. Surprisingly NewEgg pricing was higher than MSRP Intel is launching today. I think they want to take all the potential sales from AMD's Zen 4 Platform, probably a last minute pricing change is my guess. Pricing wise Intel is heavily undercutting Zen 4 the i9 is significantly cheaper than AMD R9. Now they are going to retake the ST IPC from Zen 4 I guess. MT I think AMD might lead. Gaming performance is not much there to be really honest both Zen 4 and RPL will fight hard, even though they both are just mild improvements from camps this round. These high end processors are for those who are on pre-9th gen parts to be realistic. Overall anyone who wants to lock in and buy right now, Intel Z790 platform could be a good deal but need to note the potential EOL of LGA1700, although the BIOS and QA of AMD is still up, they need to prove it still AM5 is going to outlast the current Intel on that end. Looks like Intel is also offering that new 65W option which AMD Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 series did as well. Due to the high heat density of these modern x86 processors. There seems to be that Inevitable top Binned i9 13900KS coming soon in Q12023 with 6.0GHz out of box clock rate, either Zen4X3D counter for that bragging rights or just the yields. Gotta see. I think anyone with existing 12900K should skip the 13900K and wait for KS bin, if they want to upgrade because that will be the ultimate final chip for LGA1700 CPU. AMD wanted to get 6GHz on their Zen 4 but could not hit it seems as per Anandtech. But looks like Intel is going to be first in getting that magical figure out of box for a retail chip. Those P cores are looking mighty powerful, I really wish we got a 10C20T variant instead of this Biglittle nonsense which I really despise. Also no improvement on the ILM side of Z790 probably they did not want to break HS and Cooler compatibility so that reinforcement of the LGA1700 and CPU is still a DIY task. Below is the slide deck. Also probably the last of it's kind ? EVGA Z790 DARK and yeah all Z790 boards are released as well. I do not see much ILM changes here on the front, maybe there's no improvement on the ILM side unfortunately. 1 Helios (WIP) i9 10900K // Trident Z Royal C16 4000MHz B-Die 32GB // ASUS Maximus XIII APEX // Noctua DH15 Chromax // RTX3090Ti FE // Alienware 360Hz G-Sync Ultimate IPS FHD // Seasonic Prime TX 1000 Titanium // Fractal Meshify 2XL Ethereal Ranger Alienware 17 R1 // i7 4710MQ // 16GB DDR3L 2133MHz // 980M 860M loaner // Windows 8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous M-Die could not do 7200 stable at all after testing 3x kits. 7000 is where they seemed to top out and usually required 1.55v BIOS to achieve.

This is stock manual speed and primary timings set. I just updated the BIOS and lost my old profiles. I grabbed them from Splave and right now I'm questioning the value over a good cheap M-Die kit that can hit 7000 CL32.

I think anyone with existing 12900K should skip the 13900K and wait for KS bin, if they want to upgrade because that will be the ultimate final chip for LGA1700 CPU. AMD wanted to get 6GHz on their Zen 4 but could not hit it seems as per Anandtech. But looks like Intel is going to be first in getting that magical figure out of box for a retail chip. Those P cores are looking mighty powerful, I really wish we got a 10C20T variant instead of this Biglittle nonsense which I really despise. Also no improvement on the ILM side of Z790 probably they did not want to break HS and Cooler compatibility so that reinforcement of the LGA1700 and CPU is still a DIY task. Below is the slide deck. Also probably the last of it's kind ? EVGA Z790 DARK and yeah all Z790 boards are released as well. I do not see much ILM changes here on the front, maybe there's no improvement on the ILM side unfortunately. Seeing as 7950x is just matching the 12900k ST basically, you know the 13900k is going to smash it ST but MT is where things are going to get real murky I agree. And I definitely am waiting till next year for any platform upgrades when the 13900KS / 7X00X3D variants drop. Before, I didn't put much stock into motherboard/platform longevity because MB prices weren't outlandish overall but with the way modern motherboard pricing has been, AMD has a point when you can keep the same platform/socket/motherboard and literally drop in CPU upgrades as needed. I know those former 1700x owners who dropped in a 5800X3D are giggling with glee. That Z790 KP MB warms the heart.... 1 1 Electrosoft Alpha: SP109 14900KS 59/46/50 | Asrock Z790i Lightning | MSI Ventus 3x 4070 Super| AC LF II 420 | TG 2x24GB 8200 | Samsung 990 Pro 2TB | EVGA 1600w P2 | Phanteks Ethroo Pro | Alienware AW3225QF 32" OLED Ellectrosoft Beta: Eurocom X15 Raptor | i9-12900k | Nvidia RTX 3070ti | HyperX 3200 CL20 32GB | Samsung 990 2TB | 15.6" 144hz | Wifi 6E Heath: i9-12900k | EVGA CLC 280 | Asus Strix Z690 D4 | Asus Strix 3080 | 32GB DDR4 2x16GB B-Die 4000 | WD Black SN850 512GB | EVGA DG-77 | Samsung G7 32" 144hz 32" My for sale items on eBay.

It is always with great fear and intrepidation I purchase anything from them. When everything goes welll they are outstanding. When you need their help, they suck. If it were not for their poor reliability and lousy warranty service they would be the best. But, most of their competitors offer equally lousy warranty service, so I can't single them out on that character flaw. What is most interesting about my experience is their flagship products are the only ones I have had reliability issues with. The Prime and Strix mobos have been very dependable, but less capable. duuuude, dont make me regret my purchase like 5 minutes after i made it 🤣 but thats ok, here the warranty is actually handled by the shop u purchased from, so i naturally chose one that had a long standing reputation and good customer support. nice lil addon: asus has a promotion going on currently where u can get 100€ cashback plus another 25€ if you leave a review on the purchased X670 mobo. not bad! 2 hours ago, Ashtrix said: Intel announced new Raptor Lake Processors 5.8GHz ST boost as per rumors confirmed, improved IMC for sure, more E cores for all of the stack for MT. Clocks as well, more Chipset lanes for mobos for I/O. Surprisingly NewEgg pricing was higher than MSRP Intel is launching today. I think they want to take all the potential sales from AMD's Zen 4 Platform, probably a last minute pricing change is my guess. Pricing wise Intel is heavily undercutting Zen 4 the i9 is significantly cheaper than AMD R9. Now they are going to retake the ST IPC from Zen 4 I guess. MT I think AMD might lead. Gaming performance is not much there to be really honest both Zen 4 and RPL will fight hard, even though they both are just mild improvements from camps this round. These high end processors are for those who are on pre-9th gen parts to be realistic. Overall anyone who wants to lock in and buy right now, Intel Z790 platform could be a good deal but need to note the potential EOL of LGA1700, although the BIOS and QA of AMD is still up, they need to prove it still AM5 is going to outlast the current Intel on that end.

This A-Die is crazy stuff now that I'm dialing it in and using the newer BIOS. oh boy thats gonna be sooooo clooooose between the 13900K and 7950X! looking at the gaming benches, the 5800X3D still stands strong compared to the 13900K and thats saying something in Intel's own slides. as for the 7950X, really depends which review ure looking at, its either slightly ahead of both the 12900K and 5800X3D or slightly behind, so overall on par Id say. CB R23 single thread will likely go to Intel, but for gaming i think itll be more murky. as for multithread, no idea either to be honest. depending on how much they were able to pimp up their baby cores they might squeeze out a win here and there. overall pretty close fight and fierce competition, means WE win as consumers *mwahaha*. in the end i chose to go with whats available first and which platform has the highest chance for long term support 🙂 31 minutes ago, cylix said: Intel shots fired.

But keep in mind AMD used 6000 CL30 DDR5 with EXPO timings for their Zen 4 gaming performance demo. Intel used 5600 CL28 for 13th Gen and 3200 CL14 for AMD Zen 3 and 3D. So Intel used their maximum “supported” memory while AMD used an overclock because they only officially support 5200. https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/performance/benchmarks/desktop/ As I’ve shown even my 12th Gen can push far higher memory clocks. 13th Gen and Z790 will only extend that lead.

tps3443 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Newegg is upsetting me right now. I needed to split purchase to pre order my 13900KF, because I’m a broke A$$ kidding lol. Anyways, they won’t take PayPal either for a pre-order, so instead I bought (2) gift cards from Newegg. They emailed 1 right away. The other is still pending for some reason.. I hope they don’t sell out of these things. This is really so silly. I just want to order my 13900KF. I’ve already bought these non-refundable gift cards. And my hands are tied. Doesn’t make sense how they process two orders for the same thing at the same time. And only send one of the orders right away. I’m constantly checking this email. Waiting for this last gift card code to come through. Once it does, I’ll be pre ordering a 13900KF. Fingers crossed! 13900KF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
