    Did you populate the M2_1 slot? As I'm sure you know, that shares lanes with the GPU slot, so you are effectively slowing down your GPU
  • @jhonngood
    if he puts the m.2 above the gpu wont that make it go from 16x to 8x and have the gpu run slower and not to the full potential?
  • @magtral
    Including how much power draw during those test would appreciated, it allow us to see whether it's worth it or not from every angle.
  • @bigdaz7272
    LOL. Why did you not add the results from the 7800X3D to the tests? At least for the gaming Benchmarks considering this is the best AMD CPU? You added the 7900x 7700x and 7600x which are all markedly inferior for gaming?
  • @hashim_alahmadi
    Question for the experts: Is the Corsair iCUE H150i suitable for the i9 14900k?
  • @Hevo123
    I’ve completed my build and I’m using a temp GPU so I can least download and get everything setup but I’m currently saving up for the XFX RX6950 XT
  • @ilseizi
    7:55 Don't forget to remove the plastic over the thermal pad on the ssd heatsink.
  • @ZomgZomg007
    Where did the 7800x3d go on the gaming benchmarks?
  • @Sigma3dprints
    Can you put the 4tb ssd with the heatsink in will it fit?
  • @ryanhoward22
    what are your thoughts on the asus rog z790 a gaming motherboard for intel 14th gen? I just purchased the new one. Building an all white build and it was the only white one they offered besides the formula, which I thought was overkill. What liquid cooler would you recommend? You mentioned maybe the 360 cooler might not have been enough for the 14900k. I understand you cant pin point that exactly, but I value your opinion. Just purchased a 4090 and 14900k and I was gonna get the NZXT Kraken Elite 360 cooler. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!
  • @crimsonjessi
    Thank you for the benchmarks as now we know that the 14th gen is very similar to the 13th gen.
  • @xyozn
    Do I need a 1200W PSU or do you think a 1000W PSU will handle a 4090 and 14900k just fine?
  • @daniil3815
    I am confused, why would you pick 13900k over 14900k? when 1. 14900k is clearly better CPU, 2. it is the best CPU on the platform and will hold it's value longer, 3. costs approximately the same (30$ difference on Newegg).
  • @robusmc1713
    I like that case, the build looks really Nice
  • @aron6998
    Mine is two days away along with everything else needed for my upgrade build, only thing I’m still waiting to buy is graphic card … I am very torn between 7900XTX or 4090
