I won the 1st place prize in the intel serious sam lottery and part of the prize is a 10700k.
Im thinking of doing a custom loop ITX for fun, is there a handy tier list of z490 mobos?
What is the sweet spot for ram speed for intel?

Also, what's the general strategy for undervolting and / or increasing efficiency for intel these days? Is cache undervolting recommended? What about downclocking cache to get a better core clock? Or what about overclocking cache? Is undervolting iGPU safe when not using it? Does it even do anything? What about igpu unslice?

VCCIO and system agent, as I understand it, might need voltage bumps when overclocking memory and / or enabling XMP profile on memory. I definitely need to push both a touch for my 6700k/z270 asrock to get my 3200 ram xmp profile stable.

same questions as this goon mostly

my 10700k arrived way sooner than I expected so this build is happening sooner than later. Whats the general overclocking strat these days?
The last time I seriously tried was on a 2500k and that was relatively simple. Adjust the multiplier, raise voltage until stable, repeat.

my z490 mobo has 2 display outputs hdmi and DP. Im running a 10700k. Can I power 2 monitors at once? Assuming yes, but I dont deal with onboard enough to know

extremely good news. Not having a gpu might end up being fairly tolerable.

I think a reasonable use for bleep would be enabling it in games without telling anyone. You are free to be a racist bigot spewing hate but no one else can hear you and you are none the wiser. You just think people are ignoring you except for gameplay vital comms

I used one of those Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny systems with two 4k screens for a while, 6th generation CPU, the iGPU really wasn't powerful enough to run that satisfactorily. A video running on the second screen would noticeably lag when doing things on the first screen.

But maybe the experience is better with newer CPUs and a full desktop-TDP.

I can only hope. Its 2 1440p screens but purely for work, mostly word and excell. 10fps would be totally fine.

Old top-end "for the socket" Intel cpus have painfully inflated prices. There's not much you can do without wasting money unless you find someone locally who's splitting a system for dirt cheap

im about to part out a 7700k system and i can let these parts minus the gpu go for dirt cheap
