Alder Lake-S leaks

I don’t class myself as a fanboy for any manufacturer and have owned plenty of Intel chips over the years. But it isn’t that impressive given the cost to move to a new platform, the lack of overall efficiency and that Ryzen 5000 has been out over a year and remains broadly competitive.

100c for coolers not fully optimized for Alder Lake and mid 90s for those supported out of the box in hardware unboxed review:eek:

God knows what they are doing... I had max 92c when doing Blender render for hours on a CPU running 5.1ghz P and 4.0ghz E with 360mm AIO.

Its not that convincing is it?

The thing is looking at the boarder picture it seems Intel are having to go to ever more extremes to fight with AMD, these massive cores that are 3X the size of Zen 3 cores, the insane power consumption.

If all AMD did was Zen 3D with no other changes they would be back on top again.

Zen 4 is rumoured to have a 30 to 40% IPC advantage over Zen 3 and they will probably bump the core count up to 24 cores, rumours are they are working on a 16 core CCD, so it could be 32 cores with that IPC gain on mainstream.

See that sounds way more convincing to me than what Alder Lake had going around. Like you said it really shows how desperate it is when these cores run at over 90c on water! That's nuts!

Did you check your samples to see if the IHS on these chips are domed enough to cause an issue?

I agree. Think I am going to go for the 5900X+X570+Noctua NH-U12A. I think the heat generation is way too high for the performance. It simply can’t be cooled by any of Noctua’s air coolers and DDR5 pricing and motherboard pricing is just bonkers.
 
It aint much faster than zen 3 at 1080p and who games at 1080p with a top GPU. Zen 3D cache edition should take the lead again. 12600K is the best alder CPU if paired with a cheap mobo and DDR4.

12900k gets to 100 degrees heat, with a corsair 360 AIO!!! holy moly!

Gamers Nexus used an Arctic Freezer II 360 for their 12900K review and noted it didn't exceed 80 degrees in Blender rendering. The Arctic cooler base covers the whole IHS on ADL though whereas the Corsair AIO does not.

Does it reach that when gaming?

Nope only when doing work specific tasks like rendering etc.

Yeah I don't think the Corsair cooler that HUB used, was a 1700 compatible one
