Ah now I am debating on buying another 2x480mm rads and another pump since everything is on sale.....gotta sell some stuff lol

 

 

Also is Firestrike bad at taking advantage of multiple cores? What do people here get in FS physics with their CPU. This is with 3.9Ghz all core, 4.8Ghz single core, and I think 4.6Ghz 6-12 cores multipliers.

 

 

This is my absolute limit with my air cooler. 4.1Ghz all core, thermal throttle for a bit. 

 

Yes, Fire Strike chokes on too many threads. With i9 13900/14900/K/KF/KS your physics and combined scores go way up if you disable 3 of the baby cores. Same for 3DMark 11. They're both too old and don't know how to use them. (From a time with quad core hyperthreading was the norm.) Time Spy and Sky Diver will use them all and give you a score reflecting that a better CPU is installed.

While it should not come as a surprise... we already knew this: the talking heads on YouTube that say 9950X is not a major improvement over 7950X are so full of crap their eyes are brown. They clearly don't know how to test CPU performance. (They're probably using games that don't care what CPU is installed and making numerous erroneous assumptions out of ignorance.) The 13th and 14th Gen i9 CPUs rip the head off of 7950X and poop down its neck, but the 9950X more or less levels the playing field against a 13900KS/14900KS. It's really unfortunate that AMD makes it standard practice to dump their trash bin chips on the second CCD. If both CCDs were as good as CCD1 this CPU would be so much better. I mean, it's a great CPU for sure, but why stab one of its nuts with an ice pick? That's just so stupid. They should put those crappy silicon samples in the inexpensive single CCD gamerwuss CPUs and save the cream of the crop chips for both CCDs on 9950X.
