I think it's a bit of a grey area though as the majority of z490 motherboards will have the power limits disabled as stock. So most users who aren't even interested in overclocking will have their chips running this way. Obviously the performance per watt ends up being poor VS AMD. I think...

If you look at Hardware Unboxed game average it shows the 10900k only 1fps behind the 5950x at 1080p. I think the biggest difference is if you are benchmarking with the intel power limits disabled or not.

I'd also consider the 10850k. Although looking at OCUK in particular the price has gone up. I manged to get mine for £400, but not the Avengers Edition (lol). With the power limits disabled it runs its boost clock 24/7 and you can overclock the extra 100mhz to 10900k. With benchmarks like the...

That's a great idea !

Does anyone know if the free codes given out with 3080/3090 will detect the card in the system? Looking to give me code away.

Do you have MCE enabled? Sounds like its trying to boost 5.2ghz all core.

What is your vcore set to at the moment? Also do you have Multicore Enhancement enabled? For reference my 10850 stock will boost to 4.8ghz on all cores 24/7 as the power limit is removed. However, default vcore was at 1.35v which is crazy! I have it manually set to 1.22v and fully stable...

I've managed to source elsewhere after using a Twitter stock update page. So that's ones less down in the MSI Ventus queue for anyone above 400. Good luck all !

Another week, another tumbleweed of orders......

Definitely this. I paid £400 for a 10850k and have it overclocked a tiny bit extra to the 10900k stock speed. Looking at game averages that's on par or close to the 5950x, but significantly cheaper. At least when not limiting the TDP anyway. Most i've seen under load on realbench is 160w and...

I've looked at this, but its a bit of a problem as the website in particular with stock requires the billing address to be the same on the first order :(

Unless you meant the German website that doesn't ship to UK.....

Must be looking in the wrong place....

Sold out within 1 minute.... :(

Really?! I didnt realise there were more FE being made available!

Anyone else tempted to pick up one of the overpriced PNY 3090's? Purely because I cant bothered to wait any more? Based on current shipments it will be late Jan or early Feb by the time I get my 3080 and I ordered on release day.

Queue update...... now 417 from 593 for MSI Ventus. So 176 orders since the start of October. Sorry I mean cancellations :D

10850k still being overlooked in the comparisons. I still think this is where the value lies in the lineup over all.....

Very interesting info. Explains why the Hardware Unboxed benchmarks for the 5950x show identical performance overall vs the 10900k. I still think that makes a 10850k a good buy at half the price. Slight overclock and it will match a 10900k. Or even at stock the difference is negligible...

Any new info on MSI Ventus? :(
