Mobo may be z490... but you know la, alienware... you wont know what they'll do to the bios.

You actually can get more tips from ctskl haha, as ive not touched a rocketlake yet. Plus he'll be more experienced with better ram kits. I am more on a budget build side, and overclocking is more like the good old days of trying to get extra performance from cheaper hardware.

RM250 ish also can get some cheap 240 aio that will also get the job done.

Gear 1 causes the IMC to consume more power than Gear 2, and can lead to less CPU performance in TDP limited scenarios on 65W Rocket Lake CPUs.

that's the problem with review sites. they don't touch on stability . so everybody thinks it's a "waste of sand"

Thus gear2 is the method going forward. However will need some pretty good ram kits else will be running 1.6v+ to hit 4500mhz in order to turnover the latency penalty.

But personally, not much point cuz afterall it's for chasing numbers. If you turn on Gsync or limit the frame rate to 144hz to prevent tearing, all the extra frame is for shyok sendiri jer. Altho in high gpu demand games, it does help at the 1% lows for a smoother gaming experience.

I don't think it's going to be a big penalty for you as you can compensate by manually increasing the max power draw of the CPU, allowing Gear 1 to not impact clocks from the higher IMC power draw. This issue also isn't readily apparent on the higher wattage CPUs either. Might be worse on the T CPUs though, but how many people here buy those chips anyway vs the stock ones, K and F?

With so many reviewers hyping the 11400F, i think pretty soon it'll vanish. Luckily im going after the waste of sand 11700KF or 10700KF

But yeah. Most mobo allows high PL. even the mpg B560i seems to allow unlimited, so the cpu will just draw as much as it needs. However looking at the way how these rocketlake imc performs, gear2 and godlike ram speed is the way to go.

Sifu, how bout Bequiet Pure rock 2? Saw this for rm180+, if no oc for 11700 is it good enough?

A bit overpriced.


https://www.techpowerup.com/review/be-quiet...u-cooler/6.html

Noctua NH-U12A = U14S = Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B (or whatever variant)

11400F is 299 and 11400 is 339 SGD here.
3600x priced same as 11400, buuutt without IGP, with the GPU shortage and scalper price the choice is pretty obvious.

whoever bought the AMD gonna stuck with overpriced nvidia gpu and nope, 2000 dollar 6800, Radeon GPU are all sold out except 6800 and higher model loll

for the current pc climate way safer to get the igpu version

Sgd prices are crazy as always i feel like i shouldve just buy in msia first before going over in a few week's time... but i dont see any 11700KF in stock anywhere... seems like it's not out yet.

Price from lazada mark up too much, almost + 50/60 dollar, there are cheaper price on Carousell https://www.carousell.sg/search/11400?

11700 https://www.carousell.sg/p/intel-core-i7-11...sort_by=popular

guys, if u re after RKL, better to buy now. Prices have started to move upwards.

Only the 11400, 11600K and 11900K actually. The waste of sand price dropped by RM100

11700 is still ok haha guess those reviewers really made an impact on the 11400.

yeah, if gpu suddenly kaput ppl gonna fork out at lot more just to play games.
also for the 6800xt. carousell only selling at 1.3K, Lazada selling at cut thorat 2k plus, how to close shop fast 101

really crazy for GPU pricing here. and most of it need bundle especially for nvidia.
im glad i gotten mine before it even get worse now.

Anyone know whats the issue im facing?

Proc i7 11700 stock cooler

idle temp : 46-50C
gaming 65-71C

If i try to run cinebench or other benchmark application my cpu can hit up to 95-100C for like 5 sec then it will throttle down speed. After throttle it will steady around 70-72C max at 3.1ghz won't go higher than that. Currently score about 9.8k cinebench r23 score. Won't go higher than that.

Already tried reapplying the thermal paste and resit the stock cooler so its not about the cooler not properly fixed. Still trying to figure out whats the issue.
