After all the posts here, I’m seriously asking myself why I need a dedicated GPU for my AMD chip when the other side provides an integrated one for free... don’t really have the time to game these days anyway so will consider probably go for 11600 variants.


So here’s me offering my 5600x + ASRock B550M Steel Legend mobo + 3080 Trinity OC (comes in a set) to anyone that wants to buy it. Of course you’ve got to come up with a fair price lah. Don’t want to sell it but later on I see it being marked up in Garage.. can pm me.

Well GN likes to measure things by gaming and productivity performance, and 6 cores are often good enough for the former while 10+ is better for the latter. So he dunked on the 3700X vs 3600 and 3900X, and did the same for 5800X and 10700K.

Then again... The only reason I got a 5800X was because it's the easiest Ryzen to find. Sure it's value per core isn't as nice as the 5600X or 5900X, but thanks to reviewers it made 1 product a lot less desirable and thus I could snag it late last year.

Now i hope he murdered the desirability of the 11700k as waste of sand. Cuz that's the cpu im going after

No Intel shortages like AMD CPUs though...

Also, seen a few YT videos where they heard Intel's ratio for i7 vs i9 octacores with Rocket Lake is 4:1, so there's bound to be surplus. And a "waste of sand" is definitely better than "sand in swimwear"

Reckon you're gonna sell your RAM kit once the Cras XR comes in? What are you currently using right now?

The F-series are slightly cheaper, so they're not exactly free, but they are very cheap add-on considering how terrible the GPU market is right now.

Is it that much faster for people who wanted to buy and OC the CPU on day one? Like RM200 faster than the i7-10700k once OC? It's also RM340 premium over the none-K.

Then again those price difference are nothing compared to the crazy GPU prices. LOL

That's done actually, I'm sure you can find them easily now!

Makes me wonder 11700k and 11900k.
Both unlocked 8 cores parts, slightly performance deficit between the two but abt 600+ bucks difference between the two.

But if you run really high end motherboards I don't think that's the time to save rm600 on CPU haha

11900K for those who wanna be chart toppers

All down to Binning. Just like 3200mhz ram vs 4000mhz ram... same chip but one cost almost double. This is called diminishing returns

600 for bragging rights

Yeah, even after OC-ed, it's really not that much faster than i7-10700K OC-ed to 5GHz. I agree it's that binning which people are paying, even that is not guaranteed seeing Optimum Tech video.

Itu fella overclock the wrong way liao.. must watch the video ctskl shared by skatterbencher. Rocketlake overclock method slightly changed.

Looking at all those reviews on 11900k, that makes ppl to shy away from the cpu. Wondering if it is really that worse as the reviewers said it.
One thing they didn't touch on, platform stability.
Haven't gotten a 11900k yet to try, was pondering which new z590 to get.

Apex apex apex

Well it is better than 11700K... Just that the price is illogical for all except halo product chasers.

For the price difference it better have an overclock result far wider than 10850K vs 10900K...

I think my 9900K won't lose much at 5.1Ghz@1.32v. Don't have the cooler to stress test it.

I got an offer for a used 10900K & Aorus Z590 Master for RM3.3K do you think it is good buy?

Very good offer. Way lower than both MSRP combined. 10900K still around RM1.9k street price. RM1999 for Z590 Aorus Master.

since it's used should try to knock down the price
