The 265K is now in a ASRock Z890 Lightning with 200S Boost mode enabled (and 96GB DDR5-6400). No significant issues other than a lot of manual driver installation was required on Windows 11. I hesitate to try *nix for this reason...
The MSI Z890-P Pro Wifi is running the 265KF. It's having some...
Newegg currently has a combo deal on 265K + MSI Z890-P Pro mobo, 360mm AIO liquid cooler (MSI), and 3 game bundle for $389.
Needless to say, I bought another Arrow Lake combo.
I don't care who the maker is as long as it offers value for money.
Priced right, Arrow Lake (265K/F) and Lunar Lake (in my case, 226V laptop) were stellar buys for the performance offered.
If Intel can execute and release a competitor to Zen 6 I would gladly switch back. But they've been...
Yeah the 14400F (new, retail) + Z790 Edge Wifi (refurb) were $222 shipped from woot. That kind of value for a crunching rig is hard to ignore when it's barely above the price of a 9600X.
I am up to 4 different Raptor Lake CPUs (14700K, 14600K, 14600K, 14400F). So far none of them have spontaneously raptured (yet) but they are performing light duty as F@H GPU hosts (1-2 thread typical workloads) and as secondary gaming rig so it's not like they're being thrashed all the time...
Looks like latest AGESA may have some fun stuff in store:
(From an ASUS BETA bios for my X670E Pro):
1. Updated AGESA to ComboAM5 PI 1.2.0.3d.
2. Significantly enhanced memory compatibility, with a focus on configurations utilizing all four DIMM slots.
Guess I'll wait for non-beta version to...
There have been some good deals recently on Z890/265K/F combos.
I bought a Newegg combo deal for:
Intel 265KF CPU
ASRock Z890 Lightning Mobo
MSI 240mm liquid cooler
and 3 game bundle (SW Outlaws, Civ 7, Dying Light: The Beast)
for $377. Not bad.
Technically -$10 MIR (electronic submit) for the...
I bought a XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9060XT 16GB OC model - for $349.99 MSRP. I wasn't even looking at launch - I randomly ordered it off Amazon during my lunch break.
Probably the best availability of a GPU launch in recent memory. It actually was obtainable without spamming refresh.
Just gotta hope the summer heat cools down gaming GPU demand a bit... but that's probably wishful thinking if nV is cutting production for gamers since AMD/Intel can't hope to make up the difference.
$10000 for a prosumer GPU or $20000 for a AI/DC GPU versus $2000 for similar gaming GPU. Yeah, I know where I'd allocate my wafers.
Hint: nVidia is cutting GeForce production to allocate more wafers towards the high margin parts.
AMD: They could sell 357mm^2 dies for <$600 (9070XT) or they...
Just a cool $10000 for your RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell GPU with the full fat GB202 die.
Highlights:
He calls it 12V High Failure power connector
TERRIBLE coil whine when under load
Puts RTX 5090 owners in their place - tells them they got the "garbage" (i.e. reject dies) with their $2000 mid-range...
