Just in case 
Well mines 105p 80e so nothing lucky about my kf 😂Is it too early to tell of the KFs are better this time around or not?
Back with the 13900K, the KF had so many golden chips here. Then again might as well go for the KF for the better price.
Tested on 14700K and 14900K on the Z790 Hero and Apex Encore, couldn't replicate a difference in SP scoreI forgot. I "think" it was 1402. May have been 1303. I was too busy dealing with an issue I had trouble troubleshooting for awhile. I didn't use that CPU in that board for very long. And I was dealing with a Stockfish was freezing the chessbase GUI client issue caused by updating the BIOS to 1402 (or 1303???) and then swapping into the 14900K (which I couldn't fix)--i wasn't sure if the CPU was a problem or the BIOS as this ONLY happened after updating the BIOS (it never happened before). The problem is, i updated the BIOS and then swapped to the new CPU without testing the BIOS in windows. And the Apex Encore wasn't showing this problem. And this only happened with 32 threads loaded, if I set chessbase to use 31 threads, it was perfect, no massive lag of the chessbase GUI.
Then I swapped back to my 13900k QS and.......SAME PROBLEM....
I THEN Switched to the BACKUP BIOS which was on 1303 (or maybe 0038 again I Forgot)......SAME PROBLEM...
I realized then it MUST have been the BIOS update which triggered something in windows (security?? ME?).
I eventually tracked it down to "real time protection" in virus settings.
When I disabled that, everything was back to normal.
I never had to disable that before flashing from 0038 to (either 1303 or 1402, I forgot).
You think that's bad my KF E core SP is 60 lol I haven't seen any worse yet but it's running fine so far at least at stock so don't know how messed up these ratings are because my P Core SP is 108 lol.Well mines 105p 80e so nothing lucky about my kf 😂
The same reason I went for KF. AFAIK KF binning pool isnt in 14900K’s in case of 14900KSIs it too early to tell of the KFs are better this time around or not?

how about ht on? my 13KS needs 1.2v vmin for 5.6 1hr occt avx 2 extreme variable.Quick run on a "lowly" SP 102 P core 14900K @5.8 P. v min of 1.217 to loop AVX2 Small Extreme OCCT with HT off. My 13900KF could not even do 5.7 at 1.24vmin.

You are talking about 1.25v under CB23 load and not BIOS set right? So 1.35v BIOS set at LLC6.I noticed the testing that falkentyne mentioned about testing everything at 1.25v, I'll definitely do that when I get one, but Amazon can be a month or two slower than everyone else.
My 13600KF does 5.4 all core at 1.25v which is seriously what I should have left it at, but I got greedy for its 5.7 / 5.6 / 5.6 top 3 cores and now lost the 5.7 and 4300 IMC welp.
I'm on an AIO sadly so I think it would throttle :/ I can try and test tomorrow though. I ain't running an hour though, I don't want to degrade my chip.how about ht on? my 13KS needs 1.2v vmin for 5.6 1hr occt avx 2 extreme variable.
Thanks, appreciate it very much.hehehe... i will let him know![]()
OCCT avx 2 extreme can freeze/restart/bsod mid way at the 15-30min mark, or it can show errors on one or more cores. hence 1hr occt is the minimum requirement to test HEAVY AVX 2 stability imo.I'm on an AIO sadly so I think it would throttle :/ I can try and test tomorrow though. I ain't running an hour though, I don't want to degrade my chip.
see I really don't think your chip is bad. I'd say it's honestly pretty decent even.Well mines 105p 80e so nothing lucky about my kf 😂
Thanks I know sp need to be taken with a pinch of salt. I'm going to test soon it's just work, kids and gf not had the timesee I really don't think your chip is bad. I'd say it's honestly pretty decent even.
You'll be surprised. My chip is a bit worse than yours and it's really impressed meThanks I know sp need to be taken with a pinch of salt. I'm going to test soon it's just work, kids and gf not had the time
That's what I mean. Enthusiasts don't care about the power limits, but it makes them a meme/laughingstock in reviews.I'm sure some employees read these forums, but we are not the target audience. Their main market audience is those who just want to assemble their PC and get decent framerates in games.
How much is safe?Might try higher VDDQ. You can definitely run more than 1.4v safely.
prob max 1.45v set is "okay".Cracked 42000 one time on CB23 just barely. Usually getting 41700-41800. Window 10, 57/44 ratios. Score stays same even at higher power.

I ran 1.58v for almost a year without degradation. Maybe limit to 1.5v to be safe.Cracked 42000 one time on CB23 just barely. Usually getting 41700-41800. Window 10, 57/44 ratios. Score stays same even at higher power.
