Is it really over for Intel®?

[ragnarok95]

Zzzz price dropped again for 265K. No wonder i have problem off-loading. Zzzzzzz

 

[m0n0n0ke]

Intel annnounce 265K and 265KF price drop by $100 USD.
$389 SGD landed from Amazon.sg don't need to pay tax or shipping

Combo together with a ASRock Z890i Nova ITX, I think its a very good bang for buck package.

Remind me of last time AMD when they are weak against intel

 

[ragnarok95]

Actually, current intel 200S is very strong in work space task. It's only when you throw gaming into the equation and the 200S became like jelly.

200S is better for productivity. More cores and more connections!

Z890 can run 1 gen5 nvme + 3 gen4 nvme + TB4/USB4 40gbps
X870 can only run 1 gen5 nvme + 1 gen4 nvme + USB4 40gbp


BUT 200S got a little bottleneck with its gen5 nvme, STILL BETTER than amd.

I moved on from intel 200S and now on AMD platform. 200S will be my last intel for this lifetime.

Lifetime means this generation or your life?

dual mora 600s.... the dhl shipping is worth it!

6/6 hoot your astral + alphacool block!

 

[fkchon]

is not dual mora 600 its just 1 they use the other one to pack the other accessories haha

anyway, I thought it would be a quick install but apparently all the Allen keys I have are too thick and I can't be bothered installing 9 fans * 4 screws by hand so install is on hold

which store sells allen/hex keys in store? somewhere I can just walk in and get it

 

[kimsix]

Can try Steve & Leif in coronation plaza or valley point, you need torx screw, not sure is T8 or T9

[fkchon]

its this one, the other side of fan mount blocks my tool access to the screws, I have torx screwdriver already

 

[kimsix]

Oh allen key easier to find in most hdb town general hardware store, those black color L shaped bunch, cheap and can use cdc!

 

[fkchon]

randomly walked by a hardware store and got the Steve & Leif hex

this all I got done last night, the fans are just connected but not screwed in, so far all of this is leak tested with a barrow pressure tester

not sure if I wanna flush the loop with parts outside the system but fully connected first and then install later or just install and flush (takes more effort to flush)

Got buyed something like this, external 12v psu to power pump without using pc? Super helpful as pressure tester for testing and bleeding air

looks good but I kinda don't want to wait for shipping overseas, trying to see if I can get the build up and running before end of weekend

Arrow lake 200s so jialat? The CPU performance not up to your standard?

 

[ragnarok95]

Its not jialat. My previous 265K can easily match my current 9950X in work related tasks.

why u go buy

 

[fkchon]

why u go buy

indulge myself

I'm actually 1 pair QDC and 1 compression fitting short so I can't attach my memory into the loop, right now just running the memory naked, it took 12+ hours for the heatspreader to come off, think the glue on Teamgroup sticks might be a bit more annoying than GSkill.

Thats all the energy I have for now haha

Think I can leave the GoChiller Prep-cool in there for a week until fittings arrive? or should I just put in Aquacomputer Double Protect Ultra in after few more hours?
