9900k on Z370 nice combo

[westman 257]

If you for some reason want to uppgrade to 8cores from a 6core cpu 8700k to 9900K.
you have a good Z370 Mobo with external usb 3.1 gen2 controller and not use wifi.
If you read the specs the only big difference is onboard Wifi and usb 3.1 gen2

I read in some treads here at Avsim that Z390 should OC better then the Z370 true?
or is it rumors that popped up on the net without any source.

Have start Overclocking a 9900k on my Z370 Apex MoBo .

Get the CPU stable with  5.4ghz HT-on and 5.5ghz   HT-off , cooling customloop 360 rad and D5 pump.
I write in a tread here at avsim that i pass the 9900k if i not find a really GOOD cpu, get lucky to find one.

The ASUS Z370 APEX Overclock as the Top of the line Z390 boards can even be sligtly better .

Funky Nasty if you find a good  9700k-9900k CPU , its the only you need.

here is a CB15 test run, no tweaks mems 4133 c17  no tweaking a std asus mem profile.

Daft question....  is it really worth the extra stress / instability / reduced life expectancy / expensive cooling etc etc..... for a 10 percent boost in clock speed ?

If you are getting 60 fps, we are talking 5 or 6 fps between 4.5 and 5 Ghz.

At a more common 30 fps target.... we are literally talking 3 ..... yes, THREE FPS.

Why do people push there systems so high for 3 to 6 fps benefit ? 

I can understand faster RAM and NvMe drives, as the synergy of these components leads to a much smoother experience.

......But ..... I have never understood why people will push their CPU an extra 100 to 200 Mhz, in turn raising the temperatures from 60 to over 80 degrees C, just for a few FPS.... ESPECIALLY, when turning down 1 or 2 sliders - just 1 notch - will probably DOUBLE that FPS gain !

Well stated. Apt points.👍

Thanks for the report!

Rob A. reports at another forum that he's running 5.5 (assume he's still on the z390 Fomrula), but seems to require a 2 stage boot up process that is not unlike the start up sequence for a Saturn V rocket.

But that's just it ....what are the odds of me finding a "good" 9900 or 9700.

Yes! Nice Cinebench score  ....and I like those voltages.  WTG, man.

 

If given the chance, post some other performance screen shots.

Thanks!

I take it you didn't fly into LAX this morning.  Off the charts beautiful -the broken clouds, city lights and lightning over the San Gabriel's  ....totally worth the price of admission.

The 9900k have problems with Older B-die that ones for Z370 and Z270 on Z390 mems that do 4133-4266 with cr1 cant make that on Z390  about 100 mhz less, on the other hand the new kits is dont like cr1 you ar often stuck at cr2.

run P3D at 5.5ghz avx0 HT-off ,here a CB15 HT-off with little bclk, its very good cpu not need much vcore thats the key to have decent temps,

Glad you mentioned the memory ....my memory does not like bios 1801, which I assume is geared up for the 9xxx coffee lakes. It runs about 5 to 7% slower than bios 1401. One of the reasons I went with the 8086. Well, that and I was pretty much guaranteed a 5.3 clock at voltages under 1.4.

seen the same but the z390 is worse, did a aida not bad much work to explore.

Well, I’m bummed now. I had a 4400 c18 kit that I tested with the 8600 and 8086 on the 1401 bios but NOT the 1801 .... wonder if the 4400 kit would have worked as advertised on the newer bios , they were horrible on the 1401.

....kicking myself for NOT trying the 4400 kit on the 1801 .....was going to do it but got lazy about it and then was up against the rma date.

edit: nice Aida score ....real nice

no my 4600 kit dont like cr1 with 1801, i run my old galaxy 4000 think they work better for now , my 4600 worked better on older bios but stuck at cr2.

my 9900k was a spare cpu this is how a real golden one performs on a nzkt 280 AIO 1.27v llc6 5.4ghz my do with the same cooling 1.34v (lovest vcore to pass CB15 not highest points) this is a ES chip my is retail

No I didn't. But I know for a fact, that it would look just as good with 10 percent less autogen , or a little less anti aliasing, or shadow quality reduced a notch etc etc etc., to compensate for the 10 percent lower CPU power.

MOREOVER, I'll be able to do that flight every day for the next 5 years, while a PC running at 90 degrees, will be dead, long before then.

 

[westman 257]

Here is a short video aida64 stress test, the 9900k run with fractal AIO 360 and 1080TI cooled with a NZXT X42-G12.

the temps is stabilisized i max temp less then 80C in P3D not over 70C.

Its to much know how and nonsens clames like the 90c guy , and is it 10% with fast mems i dont think he knows what he talks about, my two cents.

@westman

Yup, that's golden  ....wtg!

p.s. on the Apex z370?

[Ray Proudfoot 8,947]

I agree with @Gabe777 that pushing the CPU to its absolute limits is unwise with the benefits being so small. I have my i7-8086K set at 4.6Ghz now and I'm more than happy. If I need a few more fps at busy airports like EGLL or KLAX I just reduce UT Live from 100% down to a lower level. Removing 50+ Ai will have a significant impact on performance.

The worst performance I've had was on approach to Aerosoft Heathrow Xtended 09L with 230+ Ai and the fps hovered around 20. Still more than acceptable for a good landing. And that's running at UHD!

I accept there are people who want the maximum performance from their systems but don't understand their logic. Each to their own I suppose.
