That's how I got 31 weeks, I divided the balance by the weekly payment.  So as long as I get my year reset, easy peasy lemon squeezy until the work search requirement in my state is reinstated, which right now so many counties are in "Red" because so many people don't do any common sense stuff to keep the spread down, it's gonna be a while.  Once that's a thing again I'll have to actually start looking :-D
 
I'm so looking forward to finally getting done with this build for real so I can just enjoy it.  I love fiddling with it, but constantly doing so gets tiresome when it's semi out of necessity like it was the last few weeks with the liquid loop issues I had.
 
Nothin' like a Kingpin/5000-series Ryzen system to play Risk on, amirite? Lol

Now this is what I call timing.  Suddenly my latest payment is not coming in and I have a "Pending." message.  Darn it UI, get your act together.  No emails or messages as to why either.
 
On rail again:  AMD Ryzen 9 5950X vs. Intel Core i9-11900K - Benchmark and Specs (cpu-monkey.com)
 
Does Risk need 16 cores? :P

I’m very interested to see overclocking benchmarks and 3dmark port royal for intel. In the end I want personal experience with water chiller and both, so I’ll need both. I don’t know yet if I’ll end on z490 + 10900k or z590 + 11900k for intel, we’ll get a peek Tuesday!
 
I’ve started my AMD build, Optimus Water Block and:

 
So far. I have 4 sticks of 4000 cl15 G.Skill, but when I get the dark board it will only have room for two. I’ll probably move the sticks to amd and buy 2 new for intel. I’ll swap the Kingpin between both for benchmarking. That’s why I got the disconnects. Boop Boop swapped.

I have a Z490 taichi and 10900k ocd what numbers are you intrested in i can see what i can get. 5.1 all cores over clock. on custom loop

5.1 would be some nice comparisons. Right now I’m looking in relation to the 11900k, but on Tuesday I might take you up on that offer if you don’t mind!

Let me know what ya want me to shoot for and i can see what i come up with. i have the full version of 3dmark realbehch and a few other misc toys on this thing

Mmmmm after reviewing some "reviews" and posts on the MSI Creation board, I've swung back towards favoring the Gigabyte instead.  Seems the MSI has some rather serious issues that pop up & MSI customer service/RMA is utter garbage.  Though I could always just send it back to Amazon for a refund if I don't like it, kinda rather not take the chance, especially since part of the major complaints is the M.2 expansion card being dodgy and that's one of the 2 big reasons why I want the MSI board.
 
Well that saves me $140 on the upgrade price. lol

This is the box: 

Is the "F4-4000..." the SKU/Part?

Can we please get back on topic? CPU cooling, motherboards and Intel vs Ryzen discussions should go elsewhere.
 
Has anyone done any comparative testing with pads of different thermal conductivity?
 
I'm specifically interested in comparing something like 3 W/mK (stock Alphacool block pads) vs 12 W/mK (Gelid GP).

Just FYI, Gigabyte is dealing with some issues which is why I went with MSI, just google "gigabyte x570 problems". Maybe they have been solved now, not sure but worth looking into. I would suggest checking out the MSI X570 Unify or even the B550 Unify-X if you can live without the additional PCIE lanes. The Gigabyte X570 Master topped my list until I read about the "issue" with Gigabyte's X570 boards. Also I don't like the chipset fan on X570 but that was secondary to the problems people were reporting.
 
Buildzoid's X570 favorites are the Gigabyte Master/MSI Unify. He also really liked the B550 Master/Unify-X, the latter of which I currently own. I guess the other options would be the Asus X570 Hero & B550-XE, or if you hit the lottery... a Dark Hero.
