z490 motherboards up at overclokers preorder?

[wookiee87]

look at those prices WOW

between £369 - £1199.99

asus prozart z490 £369.95
asus maximus 12 hero z490 £429.95
asus maximus 12 formula z490 £499.99
asus maximus 12 extreme z490 £849.99
gigabyte aorus extreme waterforce z490 £1199.99
gigabyte aorus master z490 £389.99

and i thought x570 was expensive, the above have pci-e gen 4 capable but the cpu's dont

 

[wookiee87]

ouch!
they are alittle ott for sure vs the x570

saying that the gigabyte elite, tuf-gaming and tomahawk seems around £200-220, which is about right considering the powerful vrms

if the cpu's had pci-e gen 4 built in then maybe the prices are ok, i dunno though, x570 sure seems the smarter buy tbh

Asrock are the only ones to have a sub £200 on ocuk

 

[wookiee87]

This is just a taster. we'll have over 50 boards to choose from just on Z490, starting around the £130 mark.

that'll be better for those looking to upgrade, though we still need to know the chip prices, due to covid-19 I've seen prices starting to climb on most items from all retailers. likely all the new tech coming out will carry a pretty premium , thanks covid

looks pretty powerful!

indeed a all core 5.4ghz oc is bloody quick, and is almost on par with a 3900x, would be interesting to know at what power cost the new 10900k hit at 5.4ghz, given the choice would you take Intel over AMD with the increase power draw?

to note that chip is a ES which means its probably one Intel pre binned, reviews always seem to get the best chips for review, and the consumer is left with what's left, be interesting to see if retail chips could hit that

 

[wookiee87]

That's at stock.

All cores @5.4GHz is going to skin the AMD but that's nothing new. We also don't know how high up on the scale that particular CPU lies. Intel are still going to be the ultimate performance leaders when overclocks are applied but, again, it comes down to pricing.

notice in the screen shot the temp min/max 0/62? and its using 2 8gb sticks of ddr4 at cl14 which no doubt will help the score, the temp readout is interesting though, why is it 0 at min and 62 max? water chiller maybe?

 

[wookiee87]

Possible but it's hard to trust pre-launch temp readings. We've seen many BS readings from software until it's updated to support new platforms. I'll be genuinely surprised if 5.4GHz all cores is the norm on a ten core.

I'm going to run r15 on my 3900x and see what it scores with a all core 4.4ghz and cl17 ram, see if I'm screwed or not

 

[wookiee87]

right that didn't take too long.

The leaked 10900k score with a possible 5.4ghz all core overclock in r15 was 3002 points with cl14 ram.

my 4.4ghz all core clock on a 3900x with cl17 ram in r15 was 3426 points,
temps hit high 70's and maxed out at 81 degrees, but rad fans wernt spinning very quick, also vcore is 1.335v

 

[wookiee87]

^^ cpu lanes only and limited at best. Been reading that 5.4ghz all core i10 score was at the limit of the cppu - and pulling 350w (all 16 phases) . Thats a s**** ton of heat to get rid of

which makes the reported temps in the leaked slides look fishy (min - 0) (max - 62) either the cpu is a beast keeping it's self cool at 5.4ghz or exotic cooling was used, no way a aio can cool below ambient (0) unless the rad is submerged in ice water maybe?

 

[wookiee87]

Looks like two of the Gigabyte Z490 models are in-stock at OcUK today!

people have started buying the itx mobo, i wouldn't buy anything unless i saw the cpu reviews first, if the leaks are true people who buy now may be very disappointed come review day, and if they buy the chips i can only hope for their sake's they invest heavily in beefy cooling

 

[wookiee87]

I've gone for a Gigabyte Z490I ITX board, although will be pretty gutted if it turns up tomorrow and the CPUs aren't out until next week

Currently mulling over either an i5-10600 or i7-10700 - not intending to OC and the lower TDP caps might help a bit with temps in a smaller case.

i can only hope for your sake the lower tdp chips can run at that and also run cooler, the 10900k leak showed the 125w tdp pulling 235w at 4.8ghz all core which is horrible, god knows what temps will be like in a itx system, sure the no k's should run a bit better but we don't know that yet.

reviews for the 10th gen are out around the 20th so a week or so later they should hit the shelves to buy
