I went with the SN850x 4TB.

Glad I went with 13900K

I just did some unreal engine compiling and the max temp it produced was 98c and the total wattage (with monitor) was a max 711 watts. I never saw it get to 100c so I assume it never throttled. It was avg around 90c for the most part.

Still I was not expecting under normal daily use that the 13900K would be in the same ballpark thermal and even power wise as my 5900x.

I finally was able to build my system and I just used the thermalright bracket. Using MSI S360 AIO my everyday work usage is around 38c. I played some BF2042 maxed out and the CPU only went to a max 65c. I haven't ran cinebench yet to see how the max thermal usage. I probably will do that...

What I did was slowly lower it by turning each screw 45 degrees until I got resistant where it wouldn’t turn. Basically lowering it down. Do not do tighten it beyond that.

Was finally able to build my PC after working for months to acquire the parts. 13900K, MSI Z790 Carbon WIFI, 4TB WD SN850X Nvme, 64GB DDR5 6000, MSI 4090 Gaming Trio, MSI S360 AIO, Fractual Meshify 2, Seasonic Vertex GX1200. Beast of a computer and it actually is running very efficient. About...

I just bought 13900K to finish my new build. My 5900X will be my backup PC.

I expect that raptor lake will still beat the new 3D chips in both single and multi threads applications. The 3D chips will shine in certain games that can take advantage of the extra cache as well as being better efficient. For me it isn’t enough and the 13900K is still the better chip for my...

Legendary Gamer what cooler are you using?

Yes, but that is a rumor about the refresh

Mine finally came in today :)

Yes you need to back order it if you want to have a chance to get it.

Mine was supposed to be delivered today but is stuck in Texas due to weather.

Why is newegg charging $20 shipping for these cards? I would think it would be free shipping.

Newegg had a deal yesterday for $40 off the KS. They might again if anyone is thinking about this chip.

Yeah I’m not sure why it is selling for more than the MSRP. Maybe Seasonic Rep can answer that?

Newegg has shipped it!

Who would have thought that we would be so excited over a power supply

Exciting times!

New egg shows it is in packaging now and will ship on 2/3 :)

Same here was about to say they just charged my card.

That is just the ETA release date. I see it updated on mine as well. Seasonic rep said that the shipment goes to newegg next week.

Technically ATX 3.0 as a whole is more efficient than ATX 2.0. Personally I would go with the Vertex GX but either one will work just fine.

Thank you for the update!

That is the kind that I have. I probably will just clean off the preapplied thermal compound and put that stuff on it.

Looks like this review had issues and had to swap out the paste so I might just go ahead and do that: https://www.tech-critter.com/review-msi-meg-coreliquid-s360-aio-liquid-cooler/

I haven't found anywhere that states what compound they use but tomshardware used Arctic MX-4. I am thinking they cleaned it off and used that for review comparisons. Surely it has some good stuff pre-applied since it is a halo product.

My MSI S360 comes with paste preapplied. Do you think that is good enough or should I clean it and use different paste?

MSI has one in stock on their site: https://us-store.msi.com/GeForce-RTX-4090-GAMING-X-TRIO-24G?search=4090

That is more likely an engineering sample, not the final product or final spec. Similar to the ones we saw with the 4090.

Awesome, makes me feel better if I decide to go that route. Seasonic Rep do you have any updates on if we think we will see this on Feb 10th?

I think I am just going to wait 2 weeks. If they push it out again then I might consider. My system is a 13900K, 4090, MSI S360 AIO. I think 1200 watts is plenty for this. It might push up to 800 watts at max.

The only thing that is holding me back on this one is that it doesn't have OTP (Thermal Protection) and the fan is crazy loud at 50db: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/thermaltake-toughpower-gf3-1650-w/12.html

Very tempting. Don’t really need the extra wattage but it is a good price and the fact that I could finish my build next week versus who knows when is making me itch to get this. On the other hand the Seasonic probably is better quality but would I even notice that.

I might have to jump on that as well

Just got informed by newegg that the backorder date has been pushed back to 2/10 now.

Looks like he used the thermal right.

Got the msi bundle from msi website. Contains the msi z790 carbon motherboard and S360 AIO. I also ordered the Seasonic vertex that is on back ordered.

I got it as well with the msi bundle. Still waiting on power supply to finish build.
