if we wanted frame dips we would be on the amd reddits. thanks but no thanks

14700kf not even a debate

no, the 12900k will bottleneck the 4080 though

gigabyte X boards won the price/perf this gen. runs cooler than similar priced asus boards and eith faster ram too.

trust me, its a YOU Problem lol

14700k is faster in games. and apo its not even close.

igors lab test were flawed. complete misinfo debunked by frame chaser. 14700k running 7466mts here. 14th gen has a better imc

what？ no i just fell for team red marketing and bought a 5800x3d . please be my guest and go get a ryzen. the more you ll use ryzen, the more youll find out. and when you become like me just sell the ryzen back to some other sucker so he too can find out.

its an intel cpu, so its the best cpu money can buy. it performs extremely well under load and at idle. ryzen both consume more at idle and are harder to cool for x3d chips thanks to an added cache layer between the die and heatsink.

my nhd15 is whisper quiet, during games i limit the fans to 60％, this lets m do 5600mhz all cores with a pl1/2 or 220 watts all while being quiet. my old 5800x3d was giving more hadaches and that was the best.amd cpu in 20years.

intel has no competition and nver had since athlon. id legit want an i5 over an 7950x3d or anything amd.

limit the pl1 and pl2 to 200w or even 180. thank me later

get the fastest ram you can afford. nothing less than 7200mts

gaming needs p cores, get the one you can afford that has 8. its either 8 very fast p cores or 8 very very fast p cores…doesnt matter much

i have it set 5.7GHz on all p cores, the best i can do on.my nhd15

went 5800x3d after 10th gen…id rather get an i5 over ANYTHING amd, even a 7950x, anything zen5 …

sell that amd cpu so someone else gets to “find out”. and get yourself the latest i7

depends if you’re going to upgrade your ram AND mobo. with less than 7200mhz, stick to your z690 and 12700k. with a new 14th gen mobo, get the 14700k and get 7200mhz+ xmp ram.

​

you cant keep you z690 as you will be stuck with your current ram kit, (it wont run 7200mhz ram). so it wont be as big of a jump. probably not even noticeable in games.
