Definitely want to change to a more simple color scheme. How are temps on your 13900k? Did you ever benchmark in cinebench or overclock?

I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy and MW2 on it right now with my 32" 1440p 165hz monitor and 75" 4k 120hz samsung tv. Also looking forward to diablo 4. My gf got me the 4090 for christmas and had terrible 1% fps drops with my i7 9700k, so I decided to do a new build.

For sure. I can't really bend the cable too much more and am looking to replace it with a black one that plugs in better but that's kind of hard rn with the current 12vhpwr cables available. I've heard the fasgear ones on amazon work well but a little hesitant to try it out with a $1600 gpu.

My third build. What do you think of it and any recommendations/changes you'd make? 13900K PNY 4090 Asus Z690-E CM PL360 Fluzx AIO TeamGroup 6400MHz DDR5 1TB SN850X 1TB Intel 660P from old build 4TB SN850X EVGA GT 1000W Supernova HAF 700 Beserker Have tried the gpu in regular/vertical mount. Not sure which I like best. Need to get a better cord for it for aesthetics. Some of RGB aren't synced properly.

Saw someone playing hogwarts legacy on youtube at a fixed 6GHz with 13900k. How would you fix the clock speed?

Just want the best single core performance I can get, as a few of the games I play only use one core. So I shouldn't need to do anything for the 5.8ghz turbo? Not new to building but haven't messed around much with this in past builds.

Have the Cooler Master PL360 Flux AIO with Noctua paste in a CM HAF 700 Beserker Case.

Used ASUS AI overclocking for my 13900K as I'm inexperienced with overclocking CPU's. AI Suite 3 shows the CPU is at 6GHz or 6.1GHz but when I run a stress test on Prime 95, the cpu drops to 4.6-4.8GHZ while using around 200-250W. The turbo speed is 5.8GHz, so I'm not really sure why I'm not seeing speeds closer to that at 100% usage. Set the motherboard to allow the CPU to go past intel limits as long as it doesn't exceed 90C. During Prime 95 stress test, it was stable at 78C. Any idea why I'm not seeing the proper cpu speed of at least 5.8GHz? Thinking maybe I should just try to manually overclock myself. Last cpu I had was a 9700K and the Gigabyte motherboard made the process much easier.

For sure, WD is normally my go to. Pretty sure the reason the 4tb black hdd was doa was due to newegg packaging and UPS roughing it up. I just purchased the 4TB SN850X and should be more than enough.

I had a 7200/64mb cache wd black hdd last build and didn't really notice anything either except for long load times in certain games like GTA V

maybe wouldn't be as big of an issue with a 7200 256mb cache hdd

My bad, already have a 1tb sn850x for the OS and have an old intel nvme 1tb drive as well. Was starting to lean towards the 4tb ssd.

Trying to decide between either getting a 2TB SN850X & 4TB WD Black HDD for $310 or 4TB SN850X SSD for $400. Originally was going to go for 2TB SSD & 4TB HDD but the hard drive was DOA when I got it. What would you guys do? Only going to be used for game files.

What would you suggest?

Looking for a solid cable that has a bit of bend to it for the 4090. I have an EVGA Supernova GT 1000W and PNY 4090. Currently not able to shut the case without the cord smushed up against the glass panel and worried about it possibly melting in the future.
