bruh.. that thermalright cooler cannot even cool the nehalem i7 920 suffeciently lol. You can say it performs like a modern 120mm aio at best. It even got replaced by sunbeam CCF in its era.

So 60-70C flutter with avx2 load is damn good. For comparison, a ryzen 3600 hits 75C on a 120mm aio with 20C ambient.

And this early version weak gaming benchmark was uncovered by bilibili that the gpu is running on pcie gen1, and they couldnt do anything on the bios to make it gen4 because the bios is not yet finalized.

I think they made a followup video with a newer bios that works, but the gpu memory bandwith is half or something when compared to 10900k on the same board. Meaning there’s still alot of performance still being locked away.

and even in their gaming benchmark, can see the intel cpu, even the 10900k is actually running 10C cooler in games.

heck.. even a china newtuber is doing a much better job at reviewing than anandtech. At least theyre unbias and honest enough to find out why there’s a performance drop from last gen.

which is precisely the current situation. There’s no official standard at the moment. Everything is self configured. Intel is not like AMD with their agesa. Even ctskl also shared that the stock all core boost keep changing but he is silenced by NDA.

And common sense la.. you think intel will sell a next gen which is slower than a previous gen?

any idea how much it is? i want one lolol.

lol.. rather buy 10900k with that price ... maybe early premium prelaunch VIP price

My experience with Gigabyte on both AMD and Intel tells me to avoid it.

Z590 Aorus Master is 2 months old tops. I don't think you can cut much.

that's like 13% savings to risk for second hand parts

anyone fancy a 11900k for 3.2k ?
yeah, it's not typo. 3199 to be exact by a local etailer based in johor.

But the waste of sand 11700K is RM100 cheaper

My free DMC5 game is still missing lol.

That's a surprise to me actually, never thought TSMC 7nm consume that much power during idling... or inefficient power management from AMD.
I was using 9900KF before upgrading to 11700K, didn't notice much changes in terms of power consumption, be it at idle or full load.  But I unlock all power limits and overclock near the max anyway.
Good thing is that still able to achieve low power consumption at idle.

z790 big diff btw with z690 on cpu voltage controls

atm i am on my tiga belas 5.5 llc 3 vmin 1.128v die sense ac/dc 0.24/1.1 

theres better cache voltage controls , cache vid etc.
even octvb took an upgrade

sorry not enough time posting here . ocn a handful

rtx 4090 fiasco strix will test tommorow

no lar. this week got already.
MY cpu first launch need lubang.
sure force bundle with giga mobo (achieva)
ingram i know in SG bringing day one . fair to all. not sure ingram bringing in early to MY. this distro always fair and follow mrsp.

Oh cool.
It is available already.
