If this was on the used market when I bought the 13900K last year I may have jumped on it, but not now so late in the Cpu cycle and close to a final refresh. You need custom cooling. Custom cooling might help, but given the huge core deltas and the fact that the heatsink fit is confirmed to be pretty good, with the coolant being pretty.. cool, my working hypothesis is I need to delid this and possibly lap/replace the IHS first. Rmemeber I don't care about OC. If I can just get stock ratios to run at 100% under 90C I will be very happy. Prior to the degradation I was able to run CB23 at 320-330W. 2 "We're rushing towards a cliff, but the closer we get, the more scenic the views are." -- Max Tegmark AI: Major Emerging Existential Threat To Humanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I am dealing with a variant of this with 3 rogue cores. Pretty good guess it's the cracked solder problem I've found some references to on other threads. If you read through, ultimately he fixed his rogue core issue with the Rockitcool IHS (he lapped it a little on the die side after a prior test LM application). People are also saying the latest iteration is shrunk (a little bit smaller than Intel IHS), but fits the Thermalright contact frame, which would be convenient. 2 "We're rushing towards a cliff, but the closer we get, the more scenic the views are." -- Max Tegmark AI: Major Emerging Existential Threat To Humanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame 😞 I guess I have the unpopular opinion, but I saw potential in Raja. I was kind of rooting for him and Intel when I first heard of the rumors of Intel making GPUs. I see him as a man with a good mind, but bad execution (or just a man who has been played bad cards, I don't really know.) It's a shame he's switching to AI. I personally despise AI in the current environment. It just sounds like "the next big thing" that's been picked up by just about every corporate entity and stripped down to its most barebones form, a big fat buzzword for marketing. Hopefully AI doesn't go too far down that hellish-hole, but only time will tell. With my current, (and most likely flawed) understanding of AI right now, we need to figure out the bigger picture first before we can dive in and work towards extreme efficiency. I believe the methods for AI we utilize are working okay for right now, but could be a lot better if we re-approached them with a different perspective. 4 Clevo P870TM-G: Core i7 8700k @ 4.8ghz | Clevo RTX 2070 Super | 32gb HyperX DDR4 @ 3200mhz | 17" 1440p 120hz B173QTN01.0 Screen | 256gb Samsung 850 EVO | 500gb WD Blue SSD | Prema BIOS Alienware 17 R1: Core i7 4710mq @ 3.619ghz 741 CBR15 (834 CBR15 @ 4.213ghz) | Dell GTX 860m | 16gb HyperX DDR3L @ 2133mhz | 17" 3D 120hz LTN173HT02-T01 Screen | 256gb mSATA SSD Asus Zephyrus G14: Ryzen 7 4800hs @ 4.2ghz | GTX 1650 | 16gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz | 14" 120hz LM140LF1F01 Screen | 512gb NVME SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he is just a loser and needed to go for things to progress to a higher level. I know you guys love intel and want to defend it, and so do I, but let's be realistic. Just by the very fact that he was Intel's chief architect, he is a pretty smart guy, not a looser. Looking very briefly, he had a vision and tried to push the envelope by expanding/diversifying, which is technically impressive but unfortunately mistimed from the business perspective. Intel's CPU business is at risk and the CEO should have (probably) said 'no'. They need a reality check on where they are at the moment. In addition, we ought to avoid underestimating the power of the finance people in a corporation, especially in a crunch, and boy are we in a crunch (doesn't apply to bro @Papusan, Norway is raking it in on oil and gas), and tech crunch specifically. In this kind of situation, non-core R&D the guy bet on is the first to suffer cuts, and TBH fair enough. IMHO they just need to focus pretty much all resources on the CPU business, as this has been declining due to competition from AMD and ARM/RISC. On a personal level, I'm quite disappointed with the engineering quality of their flagship consumer product: failed ILM, failed IHS, failed process/too much heat. All this YT influencer talk about Intel not being able to afford to engineer a robust ILM and IHS, because they do it at scale. LOL, more like they have been cutting corners to fund peripheral research. They just really need to put in some hardcore work over there, if it's even about hardcore work - could be a TSMC patent thing and they just need to write off their legacy fabs (ouch!) and join the queue at the master chip maker, which would be very bad as obviously TSMC needs competition. Good luck dear Intel, you will need it. 5 "We're rushing towards a cliff, but the closer we get, the more scenic the views are." -- Max Tegmark AI: Major Emerging Existential Threat To Humanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get to see a business or Enterprise side of CPU world and cannot speak intelligently on that subject. The PC tech industry on the consumer side of things is a mess for sure. On the consumer side there's no legit competition for Intel and NVIDIA unless you are married to the idea of pretending things are good for AMD because hating Intel and NVIDIA makes you extra happy. AMD brings nothing special or good to the table as far as I'm concerned. The flaws we see with the 13900K are little more than annoying compared to the alternative option. It remains the better option by all measurements. It seems you have one of the worse examples. That would be upsetting to me, too. However, I can honestly say that every new Intel CPU I have owned has been better than the generation before it, and that has been true nearly 100% of the time, with Haswell being an exception and a nasty hiccup for Intel. The thing I hate most about my 13900K and KF is that someone I know (like Brother @tps3443 for example) has a better sample than mine. I hated the same thing about my 12th Gen and 10th Gen processors. That sucks only because my primary focus is overclocking. Owning average silicon samples would be a non-issue if my focus was gaming or productivity. Other than the bad luck of being an overclocker stuck with an average silicon sample, I struggle to find something legitimate to complain about other than everything is overpriced and QC for the industry as a whole is at an unprecedented level of horrible. 3 1 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 14900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower GF3 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO Banshee // X870E Carbon | 9950X | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Antec C8 Spectre // Z790i Edge | 13900KS | 3090 Ti FTW3 | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1000e | EK Nucleus CR360 Direct Die || Prime A21 Half-Breed // Dell Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth+MXM Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | Sub-$500 Grade A Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

The PC tech industry on the consumer side of things is a mess for sure. On the consumer side there's no legit competition for Intel and NVIDIA unless you are married to the idea of pretending things are good for AMD because hating Intel and NVIDIA makes you extra happy. AMD brings nothing special or good to the table as far as I'm concerned. The flaws we see with the 13900K are little more than annoying compared to the alternative option. It remains the better option by all measurements. It seems you have one of the worse examples. That would be upsetting to me, too. However, I can honestly say that every new Intel CPU I have owned has been better than the generation before it, and that has been true nearly 100% of the time, with Haswell being an exception and a nasty hiccup for Intel. The thing I hate most about my 13900K and KF is that someone I know (like Brother @tps3443 for example) has a better sample than mine.

These recent Intel chips are beastly, and refresh is gonna be interesting as well! Bad sample or good they are still really great. Especially for the money. But yeah I will usually buy what’s fast or makes sense. 4090 is super fast, but it doesn’t make sense lol. I wish this 13900KS was mine though, then I’d let you get my really really good 13900K. Either of these chips are just threw the roof amazing examples of 13th gen Intel. I’m with you though on silicon quality, I wish I didn’t care about it. But since that 11900K I got from you, I’ve made it a necessity to have a good chip. It’s really fun, and it’s nice have something that overclocks really well with low temps and efficiency so easily compared to others. But, to be honest if I could go back and not care about chip quality I’d do that in a minute. 4 1 13900KF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is not known is whether the 13900KS you have in you possession right now is an extra special freak sample like your 13900K or close to average. I am tired of paying retail for average. Not because average is bad, but because average isn't good enough to serve the purpose for me buying the CPU. My luck is such that I usually end up with something average, and that is disappointing to me since what I enjoy doing requires something better than average to do it well enough to be pleasing to me. 3 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 14900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower GF3 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO Banshee // X870E Carbon | 9950X | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Antec C8 Spectre // Z790i Edge | 13900KS | 3090 Ti FTW3 | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1000e | EK Nucleus CR360 Direct Die || Prime A21 Half-Breed // Dell Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth+MXM Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | Sub-$500 Grade A Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

This chip is absolutely killer for sure. It does 6.0P/4.7E/5.2R with 1.250V in bios easily. Maybe can do less than that. 1 1 13900KF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
