I wouldn’t gently caress with nitrogen unless I was in a very well ventilated room. Nitrogen leaks are kind of terrifying, all you end up noticing is that you can’t catch your breath. Is the 10th gen i9 going to be worth upgrading from a 9th gen i7? I know that the i7 will be set for ages but that whole 10 cores/20 threads thing is tempting me.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:AMD seems perfectly content to offer choices in the low-mid range, they have been that way since the 6950. It's where the money is at. They’ve done some absolutely moronic cards like the 295x2 for the high end. You can still get mileage out of a GeForce 970 now, not so much with the 295x2 because it turns out going and making a built in dual GPU nearly a decade after dual GPU basically died in the crib is a terrible idea. The last AMD card I bought was a low-end one. I don’t think I’ve bought one of their high end ones since the Radeon 9800.

Updating to an 11th gen from a 10900kf probably won’t be worth it, right?

Twerk from Home posted:It wouldn’t have been worth it from a 9700K either. I do like going from 8c/8t to 10c/20t. It doesn’t make a real difference but it’s at least a number I can see that went up big time.

I’m gonna have to do a cinebench before and after I put the water cooling in next weekend, I wonder if that’s gonna make a difference with the boost.

I’m wondering how the 11700KF stacks up against the 10900KF for gaming if the single core stuff is that much better. E:like in theoretical performance, I know either one will blow away any extant game right now.

I’m gonna have to manually OC my 10900KF to get the most out of it, aren’t I? I just went from a 212 evo cooler to a MSI Coreliquid 240 and it’s keeping my temps way down but my cinebench score only went up by about 80 points.

Also you’re gonna need a new motherboard.

Man, my 10900kf is so loving inconsistent on benchmarks and I can’t figure out why. It’s never cracking 80 degrees but it’ll swing by like 1500 points either way on cinebench r23 and I can’t figure out why.

Cygni posted:Normally its not a problem with K-skus because motherboards throw the Intel power suggestions in the garbage as soon as it detects one, but it might be enforcing the Intel TDP limits? Normally that sort of run to run variance is a sign that something is either triggering a cut in clocks, or a background process is doing something screwy and sapping performance. I usually kill everything but the benchmarking and monitoring software (always something lightweight like GPU-Z or Coretemp) but I feel like I must be missing something in the background. The clock speeds are showing 5.1GHz without any drops if I run something that displays those. It’s gotta be some kind of software thing. I may just purge my boot drive and reinstall Windows in case I have something lurking there.

Basically any RGB in my computer can be disabled by unplugging it. Not the small lights on the motherboard, I guess; but I might be able to disable them at a BIOS level. Never had a reason to bother checking.

Honestly I ended up sticking with Intel instead of going AMD on my last build by basically complete accident (I was gonna migrate my old CPU opted against it at the last second… mostly because I bought the wrong motherboard when I was rushing and then just said gently caress it and gave my brother my old computer). I have really, really liked the 10900KF though. Good thermals, OC’d like a dream. I was disappointed the 11900 was basically a step down in every way, I was hoping Intel would still be good in the “more money than sense” market.
