Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Zen4's latency is god awful. 12900K with properly tuned DDR5 on a good mobo should be mid to upper 40s as far as latency goes with a matured IMC. 60ns plus is absolutely shit for 1% and .1% lows
Why is power of a concern for people? Do you have a 500W PSU? A 12900k would rape two fold a 2990WX. Hell, a efficient(to you) 5950X also rapes a 2990WX. A turd? Alder Lake is a great CPU.
Anyways, I still don't understand this notion of power consumption being a big deal to some people.
I disable PBO. Its trash and a waste of time. Only good thing I got out of PBO was single thread score of 1659. Either Manual All core or CCX OC is your best bet.
