Why didn't you RMA it? Or return to the shop you bought it from?
I had the exact same issue with 2 RAM sticks from another company and after discovering issues with it (in the first 2-3 days of buying it and assembling the new PC) I promptly returned it for a refund. Also bought another RAM kit...
Driving stock up 100% in 3 years in no underperformance in no one's book, especially the board members' book, otherwise they would have fired her by now as you kindly pointed out.
I am running some financial simulations for days on end for the last 10 months.
Just today I had to disable some cores and not run 32 threads but rather only 22, due to memory. And I have 64 GB of RAM.
So if I had 96 GB I would be able to run using all threads on my 13900k processor.
Apparently the company is a German one based in Braunschweig near Hanover. It could be worth a look.
It just jumped 10% in price to 220 euros. :(
It will keep getting worse unfortunately.
Hey @W1zzard, could you review the 'Innovation IT PerformanceY GEN4 4TB' drive available here?
I would like to see its performance given it is still cheap ~200 euros. It might be a new performance king until it too rises in price.
Oh my, I was just about to comment on the guy above how this is equal(ish) to Galahad 2 while costing almost half of it.
Only for you to point us in the right direction. This even cheaper variant of the same cooler is even cheaper, about 40% of the Galahad 2's price (when converted to USD) with...
I would suspect that 14900 non-k would have a similar v-f (voltage-frequency) curve like 14900k just pulled downwards a little bit, meaning lower clocks for the same voltage, or higher voltage for the same frequency due to being worse bins than K bins.
That might translate into 22 - 25% lost...
I don't think you are crazy. He said that I (we) are missing the context. We are not though.
It has low base clock of 2Ghz at a low wattage of 65w, and a pretty high PL2 wattage of 220w at 5.8 Ghz. How high of a sustained all-core clock can be had at 220w is not yet known, but it is certainly...
You think it's 225w for 6 GHz all core? :eek:
Not a chance, more like 450w.
That's probably for single or lightly-threaded app, 1 to 2 threads.
The T and non K bins are worse than K bins, so its power draw would be even worse than that in 14900k.
I was thinking the same. They were not known for the PC Storage which is more directed to HDDs and SSDs, but specifically CD/DVDs and the related tech.
