i suspect he has to rma his cpu kek, but its littrely only valorant he has issues in, he just bought more ram too
honest birch
KF is better bin on average

Thing with 13600K is you can mostly tap out lga1700 perf with it

For those games it is ye

whats with the 6700, still good in 2025?
ill have bro rma his 13600kf or atleast put a 12600kf in he has one in his closet
mortal grail
6700 should be pretty strong for his use case tbh
fresh timber
i cant see problems hes having kek, mines is fine
mortal grail
He'd still gain fps with more but the main bottleneck will be cpu
fresh timber
poo cpu frfr
mortal grail
It's just the type of game
All comes down to the API, nature of the gameplay and the balance of gpu and cpu render rate
If he was playing like all AAA then a 13600KF would be fine with like a 4090
Lol
worn wave
more and more games are requiring 8p as recommended spec
What games? I feel like most these days are still fine on 6c and that's including windows. 6p + 8e means the game can have a full 6 cores plus e cores if needed
fresh timber
i have a 6 core cpu that can play games just fine too kek
lone mango
Yeah 6 will be good for a while
fresh timber
only cpu i have with issues is my 4 core cpu
honest birch
What games? I feel like most these days are still fine on 6c and that's includin...
games dont use e-cores at least almost all dont, on 8p cpus you can achieve the most fps by disabling e-cores and overclocking

misty sparrow
they are VERY far from that
fresh timber
you play just fine but 8p would perform better, even at the same freq
benchmark plz
13600k vs 14700k same clocks
honest birch
they are not the most popular, except one
that was just a few examples theres many more
misty sparrow
the examples you picked were not at all representative of the most popular games played
i'd say the most popular ones are less demanding games
like Fortnite, CS2, Minecraft, etc
honest birch
you can research, i play older games
fresh timber
fortnite is demanding tbh
misty sparrow
not necessarily
fresh timber
getting high fps is erm, demading
honest birch
anything cpu intensive 8p will have an advantage
cod and fn are more mainstream examples
happy?
misty sparrow
i guess so
they can 100% run on potato hardware though if you do not care about high settings
mortal grail
you play just fine but 8p would perform better, even at the same freq
I mean tbh 10p would perform better still, we just don't have a current example to show that

10900K still top dog of that gen, 11900K was a mistake

If we had a 10p ultra chip or a 12c zen 6 chip we'd see that scaling I'm sure
honest birch
10 core x3d
fresh timber
ihonestly
i wouldnt mind 10c ccds
or 12c ones
next gen getting a core bump would be nice
honest birch
well duh itd be a lot better
mortal grail
12c is planned for zen 6 iirc
honest birch
if they used monolithic itd be even better but thats not happening
mortal grail
12c ccds
fresh timber
how wil they distbute it
mortal grail
Unlikely 8c is still r7
It'd be more like
8c r5 probably
12c r7
16c r9 and 24c r9
Something to that effect
honest birch
time to bust out the 420mm aios
fresh timber
proably 12 and 8 core ccds

Zen 5 was a meme, we get core bumps and a new imc with zen 6
It's gonna be a pretty significant jump
At least, that's the intent
honest birch
goddamnit dude
fresh timber
time to use openrgb to sync multiply pcs
honest birch
Zen 5 was a meme, we get core bumps and a new imc with zen 6
zen5 imc was binned better, 6600 1:1 was possible, we still got a decent uplift even on non-x3d, at least compared to intel but thats just a meme at this point
fresh timber
mortal grail
I was bringing it back lol
honest birch
lmfao
mortal grail
The problem with zen 5 is non x3d had benefits that didn't reward normal people
lone mango
Actually he is right
fresh timber
i want a 9700x unironicly
mortal grail
Zen 5% is really true since sse and avx1 weren't the benefactors there
lone mango
Cyberpunk is faster on a 7700x vs 7600x
honest birch
i want a 9700x unironicly
i mean its a good chip if you get for $220
fresh timber
if i do a am5 swap ill do it
mortal grail
We saw the actual benefits from patches that also gave us benefits for all ryzen
lone mango
i mean its a good chip if you get for $220
aliexpress 
mortal grail
So in one sense zen 5 gave everyone a big bump
honest birch
biggest improvement is overclockable x3d
mortal grail
Cyberpunk is faster on a 7700x vs 7600x
But it's always gonna be that way if you have more cores
Like I don't need to look this up
mortal grail
Check 9950x3d vs 9800x3d
fresh timber
Check 9950x3d vs 9800x3d
9950x3d is faster
honest birch
Cyberpunk is faster on a 7700x vs 7600x
7900X performs worse than the 7700X in games, which is funny
mortal grail
The extra ccd handles offload and runs better
mortal grail
9950x3d is faster
Exactly
honest birch
6+6 ccds 
mortal grail
7900X performs worse than the 7700X in games, which is funny
Ye cos 6+6
fresh timber
prob cause background stuff can go to non x3d cache, and better binn
honest birch
Ye cos 6+6
its such a meme
mortal grail
You have a bigger need for a completely clear 6 core ccd for the game
lone mango
7900X performs worse than the 7700X in games, which is funny
Because when you game its a 6 core chip and when the other ccd is accessed there is a large latency penalty
mortal grail
Yep
honest birch
Because when you game its a 6 core chip and when the other ccd is accessed there...
im aware, ive been saying this since zen2
if you need MT always get the 50X variant
mortal grail
There is scaling to 8, and there would be to 10 or 12 as well lol
fresh timber
laughs in no ccd
lone mango
But it's always gonna be that way if you have more cores
Well for games like cyberpunk yea
honest birch
laughs in no ccd
i mean they arent CCDs but its similar
mortal grail
All that said tho, a 13600KF can still eek out like over 95% of lga1700 performance if you tune it correctly

Sometimes the 9 is like 2% slower, sometimes is faster

All that said tho, a 13600KF can still eek out like over 95% of lga1700 performa...

its not tuned though

u changed speed

that doesnt help if u change speed and only do primaries
performance is in secondary and terts

balmy solstice

they love you tho
honest birch
that doesnt help if u change speed and only do primaries
same reason 6000 CL28-36-36-30 only primaries changed, will perform worse than CL40-40-40-80 fully tuned
fresh timber
do i really need it
balmy solstice
yes
balmy solstice
if i said no, would you even stop
fresh timber
i can only see 240
honest birch
thats not how it works
honest birch
more fps = less input delay and smoother motion even if you were at 60Hz
lone mango
mortal grail
Would say beyond 240 you start to kinda hit diminishing returns tho
At that point changing peripherals like the monitor, mouse, keyboard, make bigger impacts
Cos you drop input latency that way instead of marginal frametime drops
balmy solstice
if you want to even perceive anything beyond 240fps, you'd have to get new eyeballs
mortal grail
Lol
fresh timber
u can only see 240 of it
lone mango
You can see more than 240hz
fresh timber
if ur monitor isnt above 240 u cant see it 🧌
lone mango
Its just harder for you to tell but you can see the difference
mortal grail
The perceived difference is very small
honest birch
lcd --> oled would have a bigger impact
lone mango
The perceived difference is very small
Yeah
mortal grail
Exactly
sweet phoenix
i don't see any difference between 100 or so and 240 personally
mortal grail
Oled is huge
fresh timber
i don't see any difference between 100 or so and 240 personally
get new eyes
honest birch
i love my oled
fresh timber
Oled is huge
ill get cpu after i get a oled lol
honest birch
i don't see any difference between 100 or so and 240 personally

balmy solstice
oled is life changing
fresh timber
i want 9070xt, then i want oled, then i wantx3d
honest birch
i can tell a difference between 144Hz and 165Hz, its not much but its an intelligible difference
mortal grail
The input latency drop going to oled is a far bigger jump than pushing your frametime latency lower with a better gpu
dense locust
are newegg open box worth?
balmy solstice
nah you can't have different eyes than other people, everyone's genetics are the same
thats impossible
acoustic palm
@mortal grail microcenter raised their prices 😦
mortal grail
are newegg open box worth?
If it works sure but don't do 50 series ones

mortal grail
50 series open box > missing rops
honest birch
no g2g artifacts

Yesss
balmy solstice
I'll put the rops in myself if I have to
mortal grail
9700x bundle went up 50$
Oh that's not too bad
fresh timber
i love my monitor
acoustic palm
Oh that's not too bad
But the 7700x bundle went up 20$
balmy solstice
4k wher
dense locust
hmm i guess i can rma it if its a damaged mobo
sweet phoenix
i love my mini led
honest birch
Yeah but it has that doodoo ram
he could do what i suggested but he seemed opposed
lone mango
he could do what i suggested but he seemed opposed
What
fresh timber
i wanna get two oled monitors so they match
sweet phoenix
colours and HDR look a lot nicer than my x27q
mortal grail
I mean his pc was quite well done when we had the 9700x bundle
Changing to a different bundle is fine but he still wasn't really.losing
acoustic palm
he could do what i suggested but he seemed opposed
I’m not buying off Aliexpress
honest birch
mortal grail
Understandable
balmy solstice
only 220 for all that?
lone mango
I’m not buying off Aliexpress
Why not
honest birch
only 220 for all that?
no for 9700X
fresh timber
why is ali so bad
balmy solstice
oh
lone mango
<:soywhat:1049087322307690496>
honest birch
why is ali so bad
its not ive gotten all my clients cpus from there lmao its great
lone mango
Mainly shipping but other things too
I think shipping is free for the listings I saw
fresh timber
worst is u wait a bit
acoustic palm
I think shipping is free for the listings I saw
Time wise
honest birch
worst is u wait a bit
for all of US its under 2 weeks
lone mango
A week is nothing
balmy solstice
who tf is ali anyway
mortal grail
Mainly shipping but other things too
Aliexpress isn't bad if the source is verified, but if you're opposed to it then don't feel pressured
lone mango
for all of US its under 2 weeks
Yeah its really not bad
acoustic palm
Aliexpress isn't bad if the source is verified, but if you're opposed to it then...
Yeah I’d rather pay the 50$ extra at microcenter tbh
lone mango
I think majority of the time its a week and under right
fresh timber
$50 more for instant shipping
dense locust
well yolo
acoustic palm
But idt 7700x to 9700x is worth a 50$ difference
sweet phoenix
microcenter also has good warranty support
mortal grail
What are you using the pc for
honest birch
But idt 7700x to 9700x is worth a 50$ difference
it is worth $50 in the long run you will thank yourself
acoustic palm
That too
dense locust
What are you using the pc for
its going with my 9800x3d and my 5080
mortal grail
its going with my 9800x3d and my 5080
Gaming or anything else
dense locust
gaming and light productivity
mortal grail
You don't need x870e
balmy solstice
man I want a 5080 so bad
fresh timber
mortal grail
B650/x670, even a620 will work
dense locust
well too late now
acoustic palm
it is worth $50 in the long run you will thank yourself
In c77 it was barely a difference, nothing noticeable
lone mango
You don't need x870e
Lowkey think its pointless ngl
fresh timber
ahh i found a usecase for my 2300x that doesnt make it feel slow
mortal grail
<a:miyanoslam:918226112331546634> well too late now
Ask better questionssss 
fresh timber
damn
dense locust
oh well i got it for the 5 m.2
fresh timber
i would fill all 5
dense locust
since you can fill in 4 before you lose pcie lanes
mortal grail
Oh well
fresh timber
Who needs 5
i know people with like 100tb in their pc
acoustic palm
Like…
fresh timber
another 500tb in their servers
dense locust
Who needs 5
ok its my fault that i bought small m.2 drives ok
fresh timber
And I bet they only use like 3
iv seen them, they can fill it
dense locust
im a data hog
mortal grail
More than that you become weird
fresh timber
Homelab people are not normal people for storage metrics
gg ignoring a demographic of pc users
balmy solstice
I have 4 
sweet phoenix
2-6tb is reasonable depending
mortal grail
I have like 30tb btw so I'm self reporting
dense locust
ill check the pins when i get the motherboard just in case
lone mango
Like…
Yeah I have seen some videos show larger improvements but many times it is pretty small increases like that. It is a good bit faster for other workloads though
honest birch
@mortal grail how does one aquire the role
balmy solstice
I like to keep all my games and unmarked videos with my favorite stars downloaded
dense locust
"final sale-not returnable"
i can still rma it if bad
sweet phoenix
i would not trust an open box mobo from newegg that is non returnable
acoustic palm
what monitor res do you plan on using in the long run
I have a 1440p 180hz monitor
lone mango
Fro some reason I really want to get a 9600x even though the 7700x is probably the better buy for me
I would be trading some single core for multi core
mortal grail
<@101107951401455616> how does one aquire the role
Of?
lone mango
Thing is that I dont play games that use multi core
honest birch

9600X performs better in games, unless u need the multi threaded performance
fresh timber
al u need is 4 cores
lone mango
Like cyberslop for example
balmy solstice
I have a 1440p 180hz monitor
do you have the full amount of money to spend for either cpu?
lone mango
9600X performs better in games, unless u need the multi threaded performance
They seem to trade blows really
honest birch
i am
acoustic palm
do you have the full amount of money to spend for either cpu?
Yeah but between these 2 I’m looking for price to performance
sweet phoenix
gotta be around here for a while and show you're knowledgeable
honest birch
Give it time and we nominate based on good knowledge
ok
balmy solstice
not enough
lone mango
But I play singlethread games so I think 9600x would be better for me
sweet phoenix
gotta be around here for a while and show you're knowledgeable
and not be demeaning and rude
honest birch
not enough
i still hold the world record for 6750 xt in 3dmark timespy
lone mango
At the same time
honest birch
fresh timber
and not be demeaning and rude
you added that on purpose
sweet phoenix
you added that on purpose
for one person in mind yes
honest birch
But I play singlethread games so I think 9600x would be better for me
what res
fresh timber
rate my hardware techies
balmy solstice
Yeah but between these 2 I’m looking for price to performance
well the 9700x is clearly the winner then
balmy solstice
65w vs 105w
sweet phoenix
im tired of this degraded 13600k
fresh timber
im going 7500f when i rebuild
just keep 13600kf and fix it
honest birch
I am on 1080p but will eventually go to 1440p
you decide if thats worth it for you to go 9600X
balmy solstice
better single core performance, multi core performance, and gaming performance
acoustic palm
well the 9700x is clearly the winner then
50$ extra? Really?
honest birch
it has more cache as well
balmy solstice
yeah
lone mango
you decide if thats worth it for you to go 9600X
Yeah I guess so. Its also pretty good for other workloads too so I think 9600x is for me
If I remember right its like 180 on ali
fresh timber
do any techies even know networking here
honest birch
If I remember right its like 180 on ali
should be, i got one for as low as 170
balmy solstice
do any techies even know networking here
I do but I'm not a techie so you can't trust me
acoustic palm
Ok
fresh timber
gigabit feels slow
acoustic palm
the 9700x is noticeably smoother, the lows are shown
That’s still a negligible difference
balmy solstice
sehould i get 2.5gig
yes
lone mango
the 9700x is noticeably smoother, the lows are shown
Yeah that pic isnt a good example of it but true
fresh timber
eh wrong
honest birch
That’s still a negligible difference
its not but ok, now if it was average yes
fresh timber
i have 6a
balmy solstice
🐱
fresh timber
im good
balmy solstice
very
acoustic palm
Yeah that pic isnt a good example of it but true
I literally sent a pic of a benchmark from the game I play
honest birch
fresh timber
i can do 10gbase-t if i wanted
honest birch
its $50 what do you care? if you plan to OC its also much better in that aspect
acoustic palm
Still pissed it got raised
lone mango
Bro no way you can swap the motherboard in the micro center bundle
I did not know this
acoustic palm
Bro no way you can swap the motherboard in the micro center bundle
You can’t
acoustic palm
Unless you mean the predetermined ones
balmy solstice
rip
fresh timber
single core ccd go brrrr
honest birch
they still give you $20 off any motherboard with a cpu purchase
honest birch
single core ccd go brrrr
its monolithic
fresh timber
why am i debating running 48gb ram rn, im weird
honest birch
dusk knot
The more you buy...
lone mango
sotru...

I can spend 500$ on the 9700x bundle or just get the 7800x3d bundle for 600 😭
elfin mural
balmy solstice
I can spend 500$ on the 9700x bundle or just get the 7800x3d bundle for 600 😭
might as well get a 9800x3d atp
fresh timber
I can spend 500$ on the 9700x bundle or just get the 7800x3d bundle for 600 😭
do it
acoustic palm
Why’s it only 50$ more
acoustic palm
Then 7800x3d bundle
fresh timber
did u install 9070xt
acoustic palm
No
balmy solstice
That’s 100$ more than 7800x3d
*60
acoustic palm
Man
lone mango
Wait 9600x at micro center is cheaper now
acoustic palm
The 7800x3d bundle is terrible
balmy solstice
quok
lone mango
200
Dont think there is a point of getting from ali then if I can just drive 15 min to mc
acoustic palm
I could get white ram + white mobo for 8$ more with a decent prices 7800x3d
Without going to mc
balmy solstice
id sell you mine but you don't seem the type to like pre owned things
lone mango
Yoohoo
acoustic palm
id sell you mine but you don't seem the type to like pre owned things
Idm pre owned things but I’m not buying stuff through non official stores
honest birch
On ali right
yep
lone mango
Are clocks held back by the conservative power limit
balmy solstice
Idm pre owned things but I’m not buying stuff through non official stores
understandable
balmy solstice
I also don't feel like taking it out of my mobo after re-pasting it and putting a nice arctic cooler on it
like, half an hour ago
balmy solstice
what do you have the money for
acoustic palm
I have
acoustic palm
701.99 left in my bank account to spend
I don’t wanna spend all of it tho
I want like to spend at most 600
balmy solstice
hmm
save your money and wait till your next paycheck
take time to think it over
acoustic palm
save your money and wait till your next paycheck
That’s not for many months
I only have a summer job
balmy solstice
use gift cards
acoustic palm
I got a buncha money from my birthday
balmy solstice
they're good for you
acoustic palm
I forgot
Hmmmm
Id need to tell my dad that they ran out of stock or smth cause we’re going up Saturday or we’re supposed to
Then I’d need to wait for a decent priced 7800x3d or 9800x3d
balmy solstice
do you need a new motherboard or anything from the bundle
if not then go for 9800x3d
acoustic palm
do you need a new motherboard or anything from the bundle
I need a cpu mobo and ram
balmy solstice
I need all of them
mobo first, cpu 2nd, ram 3rd
you can still boot bios without ram
but you can't really have a setup without a motherboard
fresh timber
you can still boot bios without ram
u can?
balmy solstice
you can get a new cpu in the summer
acoustic palm
you can get a new cpu in the summer
Why in the hell would I upgrade from a 7700x
balmy solstice
and 9950x3d if you're a content creator
I thought you were aiming for performance
acoustic palm
I thought you were aiming for performance
Performance per dollar
Is what I’m aiming for
I’m not gonna waste money
balmy solstice
you aren't
its an investment
and again, getting it thru microcenter means you can trade it in
royal crow
Should I turn the cpu upgrade thing on?
acoustic palm
and again, getting it thru microcenter means you can trade it in
Hm
royal crow
360mm aio
royal crow
Okie
acoustic palm
and again, getting it thru microcenter means you can trade it in
Trade in is gpu exclusive no?
balmy solstice
might crash your pc tho if the silicon mobsters really hate you
balmy solstice
Trade in is gpu exclusive no?
is it?
acoustic palm
Yes
balmy solstice
I thought it was cpu and gpu
oh
well
newegg does it
my brain isn't braining this late
balmy solstice

I need like a manual or sm
I'll do it tomorrow its almost 12AM

Sup guys any ideas for desk chairs.. my back hurts…
any well rated chair that doesn't say "gaming" at all in the title
that or andaseat if you're rich
or secretlab if you're richer

your cpu just might not be compatible with it
hard flint
Im sitting on small table …
royal crow
your cpu just might not be compatible with it
Maybe idk
balmy solstice
you can always manually overclock your cpu
with that extreme tuning intel thingamajiggy
royal crow
Yeah but i don't really wanna go down that route
balmy solstice
Yeah I’ll have to let my dad know
youre gonna have such a good time with your first build
royal crow
Rather not ruin a $300 peice of silicon
acoustic palm
youre gonna have such a good time with your first build
Yeah
balmy solstice
Rather not ruin a $300 peice of silicon
then you can just undervolt it by a lil and boost performance
won't really ruin much
would ya look at that
a video for your exact cpu
fresh timber
time to dump my phone

with that extreme tuning intel thingamajiggy
Do not do this, intel XTU and ryzen master are the quickest ways to screw up your CPU
rough zinc
If youre overclocking or undervolting your CPU, only use BIOS
atomic mist
Don’t listen to them, the best thing you can do is learn from uh not mistakes 
rough zinc
lone mango
I dont understand
I had no issues with ryzen master
It just changes your bios settings
rough zinc
Ryzen master likes to set settings by itself or not what you set sometimes

Its a good looking card
