9900K to 13900K

[ToastedChip]

So I finally retired my much loved 9900K & went with ASrock Z790 Pro, 13900K & 64Gb DDR5 5600. Anyone on the fence about upgrading from 9th gen or older here's abit of info..

This thing absolutely ROCKS! Paired with the nzxt z73, running vcore with -100 offset it will run 5.5ghz on Pcores with 2 hitting 5.8ghz (MT enabled) & 4.3ghz on Ecores with temps 27c idle, ~60c gaming ( warzone II ) & ~85c 10min cinebench R23 run @ 38,879 MT score @ 256Watts. Also gone from ~120fps to ~180fps in Warzone II and finally getting everything out of my EVGA 2080TI ftw3 ultra which I plan to keep a few more years as its still beating every game I play including DCS in VR.

I use vidcoder & the 13900K chews through encoding 3~4 faster than my 9900K, its an absolute BEAST!! Well worth the upgrades imo.

what hurts the most is that you cant just drop the 13900k into the same mobo the 9900k was in.

can you drop any of the newest amd chips in a 5 year old motherboard

honest question really do not have a clue on this one

Possibly, it would need to be one of the first gen Ryzen boards: X370/B350/A320. If it is, you can usually install any AM4 CPU with a bios update (5800X3D or 5950X are highest CPUs).

No, all of the new amd chips need a new x670 / b650 motherboard.

The upgrade is a pricey one. It would involve a decent mobo and ram change plus the price of the chip of course

I did think that was the case

Thanks, I have been tempted myself as I see the performance per core has gone up a lot between the chips.

ive just upgraded from 9700k to 13900 and differences in cpu usage are huge. bf 2042 went from 90% usage on average at 1440p to 30% usage. R6 seige barely reaches 10&
However one thing thats bugging me cinebench r23 multi-core score is 18k when it should be 32k.
Not sure why, its all set on auto and boosts on all core and voltage set to 1.25v with xmp enabled
