Liquid cooling is safe. The liquid they use is non-conductive, so even if it leaks it won’t hurt anything.

I run AIO on my rigs, 9900k and 14900k, works great. Much quieter than air.

14900k is only $50 more expensive than a 13900k (microcenter).

I have an ASUS RPG STRIX z790-e wifi and it’s awesome. Clocks the 14900k at 6.2 for the pcores, and 4.8 for the ecores, dynamically boosts.

Has intel drivers for GNA and DTT, which allow for application optimization in the 14th gen, which gets 10-15% more performance in supported games (quite limited right now, but not on the game manufacturers to support - intel is actively adding games).

Great board, excellent support. Also supports non-standard memory configurations - I’m running 4 channel 128gb (4x32gb DDR5) and it’s 100% stable, which is hard to come by.

Use this on your phone for photos. It encrypts them, hides them behind a ‘audio management panel’, or ‘calculator’, or other fake app which you long press on the title or some such, enter a pin, and it lets you into the photos, videos, apps and things you want hidden.

Use park control. It will show you which ones are e cores and let you steer toward pcores, ecores, or a combination depending on thread duration.

I have the same board. Boot drive tweak?

Depends on how much memory you want to get. I’m running 4 channel x 32gb (128gb total) on an Asus strix z790-e wifi, and it’s unsupported. I can’t get it to post at the rated 6000mhz, so I underclocked it to 5066 (it does post up to 5200mhz but 5200mhz shows errors in memtest386). At 5066mhz it runs all 4 passes of memtest86 cleanly.

It’s gskill 6000mhz z5.memoey.

I did try corsair dominators (24gb each x 4 channel) and they wouldn’t post at their rated 7000mhz either. But even underclockibg them at 4800mhz was unstable.

My advice is to stay with dual channel if you can, as those have more luck posting at xmp speeds.

There was no valid supported 32gb x 4 channel config from the manufacturer so I’m lucky it works at all. I had to have 128gb of RAM though so put up with the slightly slower speeds.

Asus lists the manufacturers and combinations certified to work with the board on the boards support page. Stick with those if you want xmp to work and not have to figure out a stable setup yourself.

If you’re going to get a 13900k, get a 14900k, They are only $50 more. Just make sure you get a z790 mainboard.
