discussion Intel I9-14900KS Review

[ZZLEE]

oooooo wonder if that means mine will ship ordered awhile back when i delidded this 14900k. im not rotted about the KS its not worth the differnce in performance to $'

I am interested in your temps. What are you cooling with now and your voltage ?

Currently using the AI optimized option with the Hive Mind Dongle. Temps are not terrible unless it's really churning away at something. ATM it's 54-65c while gaming it'll still hit 91C randomly using the Arctic Cooling 2 360 AIO thinking of trying LM on the IHS and cold plate to see if it'll even out temps. Voltage still hits 1.51v going to see if I can lower that but with the AI Optimized preset it'll hit 6.2GHz on 2 Cores then 5.9ghz on rest of p cores and 4.5ghz on 16E-Cores.

Under volt is supposed to help allot on that chips temps.

I'll see what I can do to lower it

Techpowerup review is up for those curious. Here are some key charts:

Intel Core i9-14900KS Review - The Last of its Kind

The Intel Core i9-14900KS reaches impressive clock frequencies up to 6.2 GHz, which yields remarkable performance in applications and gaming. However, this comes at the cost of serious power consumption, especially if you go beyond stock, where we saw over 500 W during testing.

you know what is making me feel like i need to buy this that dang wording the last of its kind >< its playing into that Scarcity / FOMO / Need to have the last cpu of this sockets Generation and the fact i missed out on that Asus Gene x670E Board damn i may need to buy this one even if it dont need it ><

LOL, 3.5x power consumption in gaming workload vs the 7800X3D, and performs worse.

Def going to need direct die cooling on this one and undervolt just to make it barely better then the 14900K.

500w when you let it have as much power as it wants...my gads!!!

 

[Shadowarez]

my old 7980Xe pulled 600w at one point the Poor Noctua N-U12A somehow didnt melt when i oced all core 4.9ghz across 18 cores.
