Well I'm getting a I9 10900K
All because my Asus Z390 itx had a broken CMOS battery and I couldn't find a suitable replacement after getting it refunded, so I'm upgrading to Z490. I'm using a Gigabyte Z390 I just got from Amazon that was the last place with stock, but it won't overclock my micron E Die ram to even 3333 MHz despite being advertised as supporting 4400 MHz ram so I already have an RMA for it too.

________

New parts:

Intel I9 10900K

Asus Z490-I Strix Gaming

Phanteks Evolv White ITX Tempered Glass case (current case not enough cooling)

Raijintek 280mm Orcus AIO (current case only fits 140mm AIO and 140mm high coolers)

Stuff I already have:

2x16 GB Crucial Ballistix Micron E Die (4000 MHz CL 18 capable on Asus boards)

Gigabyte triple fan GTX 1080 Ti

2x2 Tb Adata M.2 Nvme SSDs in Raid 0

2x6 Tb Seagate Barracuda Pros in Raid 1 for backups and storage

128 Gb Crucial M4 boot drive

EVGA T2 1000w PSU (overkill now, I used to have SLI up to 980 Tis with this)

Custom cablemod white and black braided PSU cables/

__________

Literally because my crappy t topology Gigabyte Z390 replacement won't overclock my ram at all, and my 9700K wouldn't overclock as much in it, but just 5.2 GHz Vs 5.3 GHz on Asus with the same voltage.

I am a slave to Asus's superior CPU and Memory overclocking, never again will I manage without a 2 dimms only Asus board with glorious Optimem II. While people might say memory overclocking doesn't help much, we are talking about 3200 CL16 on a gigabyte board vs 4000 CL18 on an Asus board so yea, that much kind of like does.

Nobody runs stress tests 24/7 you absolute clown. Thats like trying to run furmark 24/7 on a high end GPU and then complaining when it dies a week later.

No CPU or GPU is ever made with the intent to be ran permanently at 100% load.

Funny thing... That stress test didnt run for hrs, it ran about 48 minutes...

Also funny thing...

The 3900x will beat that 10900K in any load worth using such a CPU on... And will do it with ~200w at the wall under full load where the intel one will want ~230+ at the socket...

Funny how you want to do nothing but bash on motherboards and talk about RAM OC'ing in a thread that is about CPU's and the 10900k...

Kinda where you would *want* to be looking at things like OC results, thermals, performance/watt, etc...

Are you actually trying to tell me what my own thread is about? The thread is about the hardware that I have and trying to run it to its best, and my current trashy Gigabyte Auros motherboard being incapable of doing that so yes I will trash Gigabyte motherboards.

Also, specific to this last bit. What a joke.

Aside from MSi...

Gigabyte makes fine boards which also OC quite well.

AsRock and Asus *also* make a good fair number of crappy boards (and some good ones).

lol

I'm literally sat here with a Gigabyte Auros that claims '4400+ MHZ ram OC' on the box, but wont even OC to 3300 Mhz ram as my OP already explains. Same ram does 4000 Mhz on Asus boards.

Thats nowhere near fine. I doubt you have any experience of enthusiast level products or overclocking in general, you probably couldn't even afford it.

I specifically stated 'Asus STRIX or better' and 'Asrock FATALITY' as they are the tried and proven boards for overclocking, I didnt state that they don't make lower end products. Gigabtye Auros doesnt overclock anything, and MSI godlikes blow up in under 6 months.

A £450 motherboard from MSI or Gigabyte is the same as a £150 motherboard from Asus. Neither MSI or Gigabyte even know how to make something of the same tier as Asus Strix and upwards or Asrock Fatality.

Then you got a bad board, not a bad design. Things like that happen. Also happen with Asus and AsRock and others (I have 3 dead Asus high ends in the house now). Bad luck on ur part.

It was a widespread problem at least 20% of their motherboards were having and everyone was raging on their forums (same boot error codes across all their 'high end' motherboards, and MSI did nothing to investigate or explain the issue. Stop defending ♥♥♥♥ tier products.
Boards do have support for 4400, but it's difficult to get anything higher than 3200 to run on older generation motherboards.

Ursprünglich geschrieben von Hung Boxer:
Also I dont get why people keep saying 'AMD is better for everything now' ... The 9700K still outperforms AMD's entire lineup in all gaming tests?
Intel is only better in gaming, AVX-512 (AMD has no support for it), and a select few programs like Adobe (in the case of multi-threaded CPUs, the 9700K has no HT so it's an even worse value than a 3700X to people who care about HT/SMT)
However, the 3900X has the same gaming performance as a 9700K, but for around 100$ more (in Canada) you're getting 4 more threads, multi-threading (SMT), similar gaming performance, but considerably better multi-core performance on a socket that when paired with a 500 series motherboard allows for an upgrade path to Ryzen 4000, while 9th gen is a dead end for Intel because Intel has abandoned the LGA1151 socket after all these years.

Funny that you post nothing but OCing results for CPUs when my issue was purely about OCing my Micron E Die ram, which I know as a fact Gigabyte motherboards featuring t topology cannot and will not ever do, and I dont need to provide links when you can simply google just how bad t topology boards are for ram overclocks and go ahead and read 100+ links and experiences confirming this. Gigabyte boards cannot even get any DDR4 ram to 3800 Mhz, yet continue to falsely advertise that their products are DDR4 4400 Mhz+ capable.
1. Some people are running heavily multi-threaded workloads very frequently, and that's what higher-core and multi-threaded CPUs like Ryzen 9 and Intel Core i9 CPUs are designed for, literally. Intel only called their 9900K and 10900K the "ultimate gaming CPU" so that gamers would shell out more money to them, even though when in reality it's only better than the 9700K in gaming because of the higher clock speed; when both the 9700K and 9900K are at 5GHz all-core OC, they have nearly identical gaming performance within a margin of error.

2. GPUs should be always running at 99~100% usage, if it isn't then it's possibly being bottlenecked by the CPU if you're not limiting the framerate...
And there's nothing damaging about a CPU running at 100% either, it's just that if the CPU lacks the number of cores necessary to run the program, it'll run poorly.

3. The problem isn't false advertising, the problem is your lack of understanding. The BIOS of those boards do actually support that speed, the problem is that if the RAM hasn't actually been validated for the motherboard that there's no guarantee that BIOS will actually properly apply the XMP profile, and Micron RAM is usually ♥♥♥♥ and has the worst compatibility and overclockability. I have Hynix C-die but have no problems overclocking my RAM from 3200 CL16 to 3600 CL16 (with slightly looser timings).

Right, CPUs and GPUs are made to just lay there on the shelf.

Wait a second, why exactly running at 100% is a bad thing?

Run intel burn test for a whole month and tell me if your CPU survives.

Because NOTHING outside of stress tests will ever do this.

The actual point of more cores is to REDUCE the strain on each core. This is why 4 core processors become more efficient in mobile hardware than 2 core ones, but if you were to run them at 100% load, your phone would literally melt or blow up.
Wrong. The whole point of additional cores is to increase performance for applications that are capable of utilising more cores, not to "reduce strain" on the CPU.
The only reason Intel has been raising core count is because AMD did it first. Intel only raised the cores on their i5s and i7s because AMD released 8 core Ryzen 7 and 6 core Ryzen 5 in 2017, while Intel was saying that it wasn't really possible or that there was no point before that period.

So more lies coming from you.
Ryzen 9 is basically AMD replacing the old Threadripper with a desktop platform. It's extremely similar to 1st and 2nd generation TR, just in a smaller package. Very niche, but the gaming performance is very similar and you can actually disable the second CCD and render it as a 6C/12T CPU with higher clocks. The only thing actually holding AMD back from high clocks is the core count, because the 3100 and 3300X coming out very shortly have considerably higher OC potential than the rest of the generation because of the lower core count, to the point where the 3300X in particular while overclocked can cannibalise the sales of Ryzen 5 because it's such a low cost CPU with some serious OC headroom for a 120$ CPU. GamersNexus was able to get it over 5.4 GHz.

I GOT A BRAND NEW GIGABYTE AURUS Z390 ITX THAT SAYS IT SUPPORTS 4400 MHZ RAM BUT IT WONT RUN ANY HIGHER THAN 3200. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CURRENT BOARD NOT AN OLD ONE. AND IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THIS I NOW HAVE TO UPGRADE BECAUSE I CANT GET AN ASUS Z390 ITX ANYMORE!

Micron E Die right there, 4400 Mhz out of the box if you want to pay however much it costs. Its the second best ram for overclocking on the market.

Even with brand new motherboard chipsets, there isn't a guarantee for 4400 MHz support with every single 4400 MHz kit, that isn't how it works. RAM is more difficult to work with than you seem to realise, and it takes many hours of testing and tweaking to get RAM working properly when you OC RAM yourself.

You also danced around the fact that I mentioned that BIOS is responsible for correctly applying XMP profiles, and if it's not on the QVL, it may not actually work correctly with that motherboard, so when looking for RAM, use the damn QVL.

Literally using Gigabyte on par with Gigabyte's current X570 mid range (Top tier Gigabyte) from 400 series) and it does work.
Brand has nothing to do with it. RAM can work if you make it work when it doesn't, most people just want to throw a crap XMP profile on and leave it alone.

I also suggest not talking the way you're talking, because you won't last long on Steam forums acting like this.

You're technically OCing, considering that you're asking the ram to run faster than Intel's officially supported ram speed of 2666Mhz for 9th Gen and 2933Mhz for 10th gen.

Since when? Intel has hardly any gain above 3000 MHz outside of heavily RAM dependent programs, while 3200 MHz is most viable for AMD Ryzen with 3600 MHz the sweet spot in terms of performance and stability.

Going above that is literally only important for systems that need it (HEDT), caring above RAM speed that fast is just stupid regardless and something that the power-obsessed would care about, when in reality the difference between 3600 MHz and 4400 MHz in performance metrics is absolutely tiny in 99.9% of programs.
