Thanks. Corsair is great but they're extremely pricey. NZXT is a good choice, cost to performance wise.

A LGA 1700 contact frame from thermalright on Amazon for $8 is a recommended investment :) Prevents warping to the IHS and provides better contact and slightly better temps due to the original LGA 1700 bracket design flaws. With a 14900K I would most certainly take advantage! I use them on all of my raptor lake and raptor lake refresh builds :) AM5 too but the only thing from my experience it does is help keep thermal paste out of the weird divots in the CPU 😂

[@xUltimatex]

I will definitely check this out. A lot of people have been mentioning the LGA 1700 contact frame being better for the CPU temps.

your fastest ssd should be in the slot m2_2 to be linked to the cpu and no to the chipset. Don't put anything in the slot m2_1 because it will cut the pcie lanes from your gpu in half (from 16 to 8). And connect the second 8 pin cpu cable to the motherboard.

any updates on this build? i have the same motherboard is it bad to use multiples m.2 nvme ssds on this board? i wanted to use a 2tb samsung 990 pro ssd on the cpu side nvme slot and two other 4tb m.2 nvme ssds on the 2 slots under which i think is on the motherboard chipset

[@xUltimatex]

Only problem I faced was with RAM, got new ones and went from 6400-7200 and it ran more stable. You should be fine using multiple m.2's. Currently, I run 2, but I avoided putting them in the 1st m.2 slot that's gen 5 nvme it cuts the GPU from 16gb to 8gb (from what I read). Aside from that, I faced so issues. Goodluck to you.

[@Kaelleonm4913]

@@xUltimatex wouldnt it only cut the gpu if i use a gen 5 ssd? or will it do the same with a gen 4 ssd?

@@Kaelleonm4913 I forgot where I read it, however, I am pretty sure for as long as that lane is occupied by whtv gen it impacts the gpu.

[@xUltimatex]

I'm trying to determine if I should get a capture card for the benchmark video or simply use the application. It would save performance getting a capture card but 4k60 or 120 costs a nice amount. If I make up my mind, I'll try to get the benchmark video out ASAP.

[@xUltimatex]

Total cost of the build I never calculated, but it was 6 thousand something Canadian dollars *before tax.

[@rival001]

you should place the ssd in the top slot (below the cpu and above the pcie slot) for better performance

[@xUltimatex]

Yes, thanks for that! After this video I added in my 2nd SSD due to the delayed shipping.

[@Weyco23]

Not really, on this board two slots feed from the CPU, the other three from the chipset. If you use the slot below the GPU you are robbing the GPU PCI lanes. I have the same motherboard, I’m using four SSD slots, but not the one that shares with the GPU.

[@xUltimatex]

⁠​⁠@@Weyco23I didn’t read his comment correctly. But you are right, you do cut the gpu lanes by half from x16 to x8. I’ve used the very bottom slot, and the slot in the video.

Question for the experts: Is the Corsair iCUE H150i suitable for the i9 14900k?

[@charlesherbert3570]

be carefull because even some 360mm aio cant cool this cpu correctly because it is just that hot but if you already bought the cpu i would suggest you buy a contact frame from thermalright to try and make it a little cooler, if you didnt already bought it i would recommend going with an amd cpu that suit you need like a ryzen 9 7950x3D or ryzen 9 7950x if you dont need the 3D V-Cache because they run way cooler and are way less power hungry.

@@xUltimatex in some games the i9 k variants get up to 80+°c which is not normal for gaming loads. The mobo usually pushes too much voltage/wattage into the cpu for no reason

I found this was due to motherboard preset settings which actually disabled intel default settings. Yes, until I turned it off to enforce all limits, I got 80+. I do plan to undervolt soon for benchmarking. @@SkateClipsAndTips

Not really overkill at all, it is just high end consumer-grade hardware. Next step would be to invest in some proper watercooling parts, not an AIO. If done well it will significantly cut down the amount of fan noise and the hardware will run cooler as a bonus.
