I didn't change anything in EFI, and it just works, right away recognized by system. View attachment 563109
I've started to benchmarking it and compare to my previous i7 8700, expecting it to be crazy hot, so I thought I'd get a second fan for my Black Ridge CPU cooler, but surprisingly it runs cooler than i7 8700 and the performance isn't the greatest - but better than i7 8700.
I noticed that Intel Power Gadget shows maximum TDP right below 95W(for i9), so I guess there's a power limit set. Just to be sure I checked benchmarks under Windows 10 - same.
So gotta disable TDP power limit, tried to google it and found how to do it in BIOS under M.I.T, "advanced cpu core settings" changed "Package Power Limit" from auto to 150watts (just to see if there's a difference), also changed "core current limit" to higher value. And nothing changed in terms of TDP. Will do further research for sure, but maybe some people can relate to this problem?
I see that @petro uses i9 9900k in his build, did you do anything specific to unleash the power of it?
Hi, honestly I don't think this is an issue. I'm on F13 version now, F10 introduced 9th gen cpu's support, F11,12,13 description mention enhancements for CPU, but 14b, 14 are all about other things. Gigabyte z370n BIOS updates
connect the processor and before update the bios
I have not done anything else since I am left over with this processor
I bought it since it was the maximum that this motherboard supports
What I have noticed is that the bios takes longer to boot than with the i7-8700k
Yes - You are absolutely correct, it's listed as 95W... But it's never true actually. Just for example - my previous CPU i7 8700(non K), listed TDP by Intel is 65W, lets see what it will show under full load on Cinebench R23:
So it's almost 90W without dropping all the time, my cooling is enough for its not to thermal throttle.
Let's compare the scores again,
Geekbench 5(single/multi core):
i7 8700 1096/6632
i9 9900k 1198/7667 +9%/+15%
Cinebench r23(single/multi core):
7 8700 1124/8678
i9 9900k 1200/10023 +6%/+15%
@petro If you'd compare your previous i7 8700k to your i9 9900k you'd see even less overwhelming results.So in your case you basically didn't get anything significant after switching.
i9 9900k known to be as a very hot CPU, and some people say that it reaches 300w consumption at spikes sometimes with other manufactures mobo's , but normally it goes around 150W for short periods of time which is ok IMO. And the Geekbench 5, Cinebench R23 scores from other people online on average are 10-15% higher than in my case. And I'm not even talking about overclocking.
So there's something in our z370n holding its power.
The processor uses the same manufacturing technology, it is basically the same processor.
the i7 is 100 mhz faster and the i9 has 2 more cores.
I bought it with my heart and no, with my head
