I9 13Th 13900K Price

I recently upgraded my pc to an i9 13900k on an Asus ProArt Z790 board with 64gb of DDR6 ram .... I skimped on the GPU with an Intel Arc A770 ...it worked well (if a little jumpy with layered 4k footage) where it really suffered was with Neat videos denoiser plugin which literally brought render times to a snail's pace. So as Nvidia recently released the new super cards I decided to upgrade my graphics card to the Asus ProArt (love the black & gold :) 4070ti Super 16gb .... the difference is staggering. Smooth timelines and Neat video denoiser runs much faster (though it is still a render hog).

13th gen i9 with 32gb ram, 2tb SSD, and a RTX 4090 for this price is insane! Works great! I immediately upgraded it to 64gb. No issues using cheap silicon power 5600 RAM. Computer is super fast. Fans can be noisy when you're gaming, but that's to be expected on a 4090 in a cramped space. Loving it! Screen is nice and big. Audio is average. Keyboard has great feel and 4 zone RGB is good enough for me. Backlit keys are easy to read. 0 issues so far. It's been running almost 24/7 (I tirned off sleep mode).

The ROG Strix Z790-E is an outstanding motherboard! I installed an i9-13900K and 64GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, along with an ASUS TUF-Gaming RTX 4090 OC, and two Samsung 990 Pro NVME drives. This is the FASTEST performance system I have ever built in 35+ years of building PCs. I am a dedicated ASUS customer and fan. MANY options on this motherboard as well!

This motherboard is very expensive, but it's like buying the top of the line in anything, it costs more. Pros: I love all the USB options. I love the fancy NVMe slots (5)! I love the Wi-fi which is 6E (DLs 7MB/s more now with no upgrade to old N router.) 6 SATA ports is good. My system went from an I7 4770K to an I9 13900K (runs hot but nothing can help that I think). Love the Bluetooth for my wireless headphones. Cons: The only problem I had putting it together was when I inserted the CPU it did not work right; my brother had to re-seat it and re-apply the heat goo and CPU fan (which I was loathe to do myself) but then it worked great! Flashed BIOS before re-seating of CPU trying to fix; good idea to flash with newest anyway. The 5.0 NVMe slot shares bandwidth with the video slot so if I go to a 5.0 device it will cut my video bandwidth in half. Not sure this is the MB's fault. But I hate sharing on MB slots. System now: *Intel I9 13900K (I7 4770K vs. I9 13900k = Passmark 7120 vs. 60065) *MSI MPG Z790 CARBON WIFI *CORSAIR Vengeance 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 5600 (4x more upgrade) *Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Now I'd go with the dual towers and 140mm fans for the 13900K) *Cooler Master HAF X case (for drive bays) *Seagate FireCuda 530 M.2 2280 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 3D TLC (boot drive) over the Samsung option for durability stats. *PCIE 1X to 20 Ports SATA PCIe Controller Expansion Card (because LOL) and I have 2 DVD RW BDR drives and a bunch of SATA HDD drives. *NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (old but I just spent a truckload on upgrades) Wishing for 3060 or 3070 in future. *20TB WD HDD *Several older HGST HDDs (love HGST!) *Cooler Master 1000W Gold Silent Pro PSU (old but works) Running Win10 x64 Pro My hat is off to B&H for super-fast delivery and working well with me on other issues.

This is an excellent AIO. Easy to install and fit my new LGA1700 I9 13900k perfectly. And the display is programmable. I have mine showing the CPU, GPU, and Liquid temps.

Worked perfectly on XMP 1 profile in an MSI Z690 Unify-X with i9-13900k with A81 BIOS.

Excellent Motherboard, could not be happier. With the i9-13900k it brought MSFS 2020 to full Ultra settings. Coupled it with 2 Samsung M.2 980 Pro SSD's and Nvidia RTX 3080 TI. Just an excellent purchase and room to grow for the future.

I thought it was gonna be like the Ryujin II with an i9-13900k sitting above 50 degrees at idle. But nope, this thing is perfect and I've been getting 25-30 degrees. It's a must have if you're into high-end CPU and need a great cooling system.

Keeps the 13900k cool

powers my beast, 13900k, 4090
