Yep, that is my take away from this ordeal.

Uhh no...all instability issues I had are because the 14900k is a huge gapin POS of a chip. The problems with the 14900k are well documented all over the internet at this point. After two weeks with it I was tired of having to dick dance bios settings with ecores, hyperthreading, volting...

I've never had a problem with them ever...they have been one of my favorite retailers. I've spoken with MSI and they said b&h could have returned defective item to them for replacement and no reason to force me into rma of brand new mobo of which I would then have to resell since it would be...

I did use the socket lid and if the pins were damaged by me it would be due to the socket lid as it's a common issue for the lids to bend pins if not 100% in place when closing catch. I cannot say 100% this did not happen because anything is possible....same as it's 100% possible b&h is full of...

Yea but this was not an rma. I'm already qued in to document for RMAs. This situation was me buying a brand new14900k cpu, mobo and ram and trying it out for two weeks....I didn't like the cpu so sent it all back for refund.

Its a bullshit thing, petty and annoying....especially after having such a terrible time with that 14900k, man what a pos that CPU platform is in comparison to my 7950x3d rig. Its possible some pins bent when I closed the protective plastic cover, but its also possible it got damaged during...

I bought a 14900k, MSI mobo and Ram from B&H three weeks ago....and it sat unused for a week until my Hyte Thicc 60 cooler came. Could not get the system stable no matter what I tried...always something, nothing but headaches....gave me flash backs to 2007 overheating intel builds. I've been...

I have an 8700k, 32 gigs of ram and a mobo I may be looking to sell. I've been considering upgrading second rig to 7800x3d

Man I cant take the way that dude talks...its like annoying stops and starts in his stacchato.....like nails on a chalk board

Have you considered an ultrawide?

Look, return or sell that intel stuff and get yourself a 7800x3d setup. Its a no brainer, practically bullet proof and runs every game with zero drama. I have a 7950x3d rig and tried the 14900k in my backup rig and it was nothing but problems compared to the AMD rig. Intel really dropped the...

Thats a lot of layers for her protection, but nothing ribbed for her pleasure!

I dont get the option for HDR @ 422 or 444....but I have the 7900xtx in my Windows 10 8700k rig now. When I had 7900xtx in my 7950x3d win11 rig I could only get HDR with 240hz 8bit set....or 120hz 10bit

I have a 7900xtx Nitro in my 8700k work productivity rig...I haven't tried 422 or 420. I primarily use the display for work productivity at native res 10bit or SDR gaming older titles like Halo MCC. My other rig with 4090 gives a better gaming experience despite 120hz limitations and HDR looks...

Reynas music videos are great too but I prefer to watch those on CRT
