    alcoholbob replied to the thread Question i9-13900K or i9-12900K for EVGA Z690 DARK K|NGP|N.

    Why specifically 12900K and 13900K? Do you already have these CPUs? If so update the BIOS, do a -75mv to -100mv undervolt (or further if...

    Nova Lake with DDR5-12000 certainly might get close to a 9800X3D in gaming. Who are we kidding, probably not even close lmao
