yes, im still very interested but buying into this platform im guessing will be VERY EXPENSIVE!

enterprise got me fixed back up at OCN!

im sorry to hear about your MSI and Phanteks experience! YOu cant catch a break it seems. Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated.

@ENTERPRISE , I have asked him via PM's and he is nice enough to look in on this and try to help me out. Ive never done anything wrong there, and if I have... someone needs to SHOW ME what I did. Ive been a long time member there and have helped a lot over there only to be greeted with what I guess is a permaban for circumstances I just dont understand. Anyways.... I just run Y-Cruncher 2.5b for 2-3 back to back quick runs, is that bad? Yes, its a supercool direct die block. Wow, we have the same board, thats rare as most have moved on to the million dollar apex or kingpin boards. I have ZERO issues with this unify x and will go as far and say its the best board ive ever owned. Im staying on A.80 forever... I have zero reason to try anything else. I know I was DETERMINED to get 7730 to train, but after finding proper voltages and 3-4 back to back full power cycles (pull cord from wall, hit power buttom to drain residual power, replug power cord in) I repeated this a few times in a row then 7700+ will train and retrain 100% of the time. Most dont understand that about this board and I hate seeing people saying 7200 speeds/7400 speeds/7600 speeds cant be had on this board... IT CAN IF YOU DO ABOVE!! its patience training!!! Sir, I value your input and if you can let me know about my y-cruncher runs, if im hurting my cpu for those quick runs, id sure appreciate the feedback. The Current VOUT was 259A, is that bad for about a minute long benchie? Sir, I too have the phanteks waterblock on my 4090 and ITS AMAZING!! Very nice quality and i must have been lucky cause i ordered it a month ago as it was "In stock" on their website, and 2 days later I had it in hand. Beautiful block and the best part was the thermalpads were all pre cut and no guess work on application!

my latest TS bench @ all core 6GHZ with my 4090 on galax 666 bios

In this mist of saving me 700$ I decided to try 6ghz all core on my 13900K this morning, and using 1.375v, I get 1.310v under r23 load and thats VROUT actual voltage and 340watts all core loaded WITH E-Cores @ 4.65. Here are a few pics of y-cruncer and R23. The CPU will never be under this kind of amperage load as its a gaming PC after all, but having 6ghz is pretty cool and I feel lucky that I can pass y-cruncher and r23 at this speed. Am I going to be okay with this?

I set 1.35 in bios on a static Vcore, and get 1.28v under CB R23 load. IIRC correctly my watts are 308ish (chip is direct die cooled with a very nice water setup) Youve helped me countless times on OCN, but for some reason i got banned FOR I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!?

My local MC has it in stock but everything inside me is trying to talk myself out of going 700$ in debt for it! The need to always have/want the best of the best is such a terrible drug! Im currently @ 5.9P/4.6E/5.0ring and my mem @ 7730 (Unify X holding me back there im thinking) so other then having hopes to gain stability @ 6GHz would be the fun out of this... MAN I hate these decisions!

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-confirms-xeon-workstation-w3400-w2400-series-launch-on-february-15th So intel finally will release the new "X" series CPU with W790 platform. If you look at the model chart shown, there will be 8 models for HEDT release. My question is obviously it will be rather pricey platform, but should I hold off on buying the 13900KS coming out in a few days to see what the prices of those cus are and what the motherboard options will be like? Also are these cpu's using raptor lake cores? are these cpus ALL P-Cores// OMG that would be just so freaking amazing! Whats your thoughts here.... think the X series cpus will OC decent??? Appreciate any feedback ** EDIT... I think I found the answer. they use golden cove cores ... Not so sure I want this. Isnt this the same cores that 11th gen used? Intel Sapphire Rapids-WS Xeon Workstation CPUs Leak: Up To 56 Cores, 8-Channel DDR5 Memory, 112 PCIe Gen5 Lanes In Monolithic & MCM Flavors WCCFTECH.COM The entire Intel Sapphire Rapids-WS Xeon Workstation CPU lineup has leaked out in addition to the W790 'Fishhawk Falls' platform details.

thanks Pook!

Just curious to s ee what your opinion is on my pagefile size. My PC has 32gb and page file is set to 2048... Thought it should be close to 5Gb but this version of win11 seems to think different. Should I set it higher or leave it as is? Ive always noticed my HDD activity light is always blinking and ZERO background apps are running and thought id ask if maybe this has anything to do with it. Thank you

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-core-i9-13900ks-6-ghz-cpu-has-been-spotted-in-china I have a pretty good 13900K @ 5.9 @ 1.35V so im having a hard time deciding if its worth it to purchase this?! You think 6.1 all core @ 1.35v might be doable?

That looks fantastic Mr.Fox! I wish my Unify X could do that tREFI and speed otherwise i think id be right there with you. Most I can get my board trainable with is 7730, and unless I go back to 67-6800 speed range, my board just wont boot with high tREFI.... Congrats on your tuning sir!

Hi on Life has my 100% attention. Such a funny and enjoyable FPS. Refreshing

ok sir, thank you
