    Never heard of your channel before but it popped up on my recommended feed so I checked it out. Verry decent production value for such a small channel and I am impressed. I really like that you presented good information but kept it short and sweet. I dont want to waste an extra 30 minutes of my time on random filler content so I really appreciate your approach.

      One thing to note on the 12th and 13th gen CPUs. A CPU contact frame makes a huge difference on temps. The stock ILM bends the CPU and hurts heat transfer to the cooler. I didn't believe it until I tried it myself on my 12900ks and got a 12c drop at 100% load. Its insane how much it helped temps. And I'm just using the cheap Thermaltake contact frame I got for under $5 on ebay. I hear the Thermal Grizzly contact frame is a little better but only by 1 or 2 degrees and costs quite a bit more. I figured for $5 it was worth a shot and I'm super happy. Also, I always use Kingpin KPx Thermal Paste. Pretty expensive but its worked great for me.

    To be real with you here, at 1080p the most you'll need for max settings 1080p is a 3060 if a solid 60 is all you're going for. WIth a 3080 you should have a 1440p screen, in which case the CPU will matter a lot less. So if you have money to spare and you already have a 9700K, just get a better monitor and invest in a good GPU, keep that CPU till some meaningful innovation happens.

    Second question is, I have 32 gb of ddr4 Corsair 3200mhz but I've had to run it at 3000mhz else it crashes. I presume it's due to running it over 4 slots 8x4 sticks. Some reason it just blue screens on startup unless I have it running at 3000mhz rather than 3200.. could this make a big difference in performance? Thanks for the help!

    what made so much sense for you is the cost. what $450 ish for your new combo? 9700k sells on ebay used for 199 and your old board is likely 75 at least. that pays for more than half of your upgrade. i did similar earlier this year with a stupid deal on an 11900k / z590 that cost me all of $60 over what i sold the 9700k / z370 for. no idea why old parts have so much value but they do

    Yes it is definitely worth the upgrade. The IPC gain is a huge jump, and pretty much any 13600k can hit 5.5ghz on the P cores. Along with Samsung b-die or hynix a-die DDR5 you pretty much have an i9 disguised as an i5 with 2 less cores

    The 13600k can run 5,5-5,6Ghz stable with a descent AIO, so yep there is quite some more performance left on the table.
    And if you go with 6000-6400mhz DDR5 you will se another 10% lift in gaming performance, but not in heavy workloads. ddr5 seem to be most benefactory towards gaming, and you need to spend a truckload of cash to get some really good ones. Only recomended if your old pc is so out of league that you go for a totally new build. Otherwise this video is very spot on, if you are on a tighter budget. I myself is almost done ordering in the last bits and pieces on my 4000$ rig-build.

    A good rule un upgrading is, that you need at least a 50% uplift (normally 100%) to justify a upgrade.

Prices have come way down too, so there’s really no good excuse unless you don’t have the coin… I made the jump 3 years ago and I was thrilled with the difference.
