Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I personally wouldn't run kpx unless your going below ambient...it crusts up pretty often...I swear by it, even though there are quite a few that are better ..I like it because it's great to use with liquid metal...I use it more as a barrier around the core when using liquidmetal in the center...
Oh wow we have two OPs now...that wasn't my point, and tbh if your are removing significant heat (I have a 5c rule) heat from removing the side panel than you need a better case, more fans, or your fan arrangement needs rearranged..
I was trying to help OP...maybe he needs better cooling...
King pin is fantastic for overclocking below ambient temps... as far as paste goes there are better pastes out there... I like it for that reason... as for being similiar to thermal grizzly no.. igor labs has lots of data regarding paste
Would love to know the debacle...13700k, 14700k, 14900k, 14900ks (POS), and another 14900k have never given me issues...well the KS was a POS, but yeah
CPU sold
13900ks with rockitcool IHS already delidded. Can relid with liquid metal per request. I also have a iceman direct die water lock for an extra $40 if you want to go that route.

So after playing with mt shit sp101 KS, I sold it and bought another k
Let's just say the k I got with a sp96 blows that KS out of the water.... Running 5.9 all core static 1.35v...best on KS was 5.5 1.35 and the temps were awful...unless you get a sp115 KS stick with the k
Had this on a Powercolor Ultimate 6900xt, it will probably fit other cards, you can check for compatibility on alphacool.com. It does not have mounting hardware... not a big deal, i was using the stock screws... You'll need 1mm thermal pads for the memory and vrms

Bought a used Asrock RX 7900 XTX Taichi on marketplace. Received a BNIB black Taichi for $800. grabbed a Ch341 chip programmer and a Elmore Labs EVC2 SE. It took a lot of work to flash the Taichi to an Aqua 550W BIOS. I then had to get custom configured software for the EVC2. Jon was awesome and...
i have several friends including myself that got fucked over by sapphire on RMA's, they changed after 5000 series, and have new management... i found this out after... stay the hell away from them if you ever decide to repaste your gpu yourself
you forgot about those that like to benchmark like myself and those on HWbot teams... also anyone who buys this and expects it to go fast on an AIO with sub 7000 ram is an idiot, much like the reviews Ive already seen...
looking forward to putting this in my delidder immediately after buying...
