When is too much too much?

12900KS is retarded anyway, it is just Intel factory overclocking their golden sample chips and selling them for you at a significant premium.

If they were going to put so much power through it intel may as well have released a single sapphire rapids chiplet on desktop for a 15 colden cove core cpu with the right amount of pcie and memory IO.
That thing would dumpster everything below threadripper 24cores and wouldn't have to fuck around with ecore wankery.

The performance, right up until you burn to death, seems very, very nice.

carbon tax for overclockers when

>faggots were calling my old xeon a "housefire cpu" despite it stays less than 60c at all times
it probably unironically has better perf/watt than an oc'd 12900kys

Just set the power limit to something reasonable.

>300W, 60C
>300W, 100C
Both are housefires coping retard

Wrong, 12900KS has better performance/watt even in its maximum boost speed which is in the awful zone for its power efficiency curve. You greatly understand the power effiency different between 7nm node versus 32nm/45nm those old Westmere/Bloomfield based Xeons used.

Besides, those old Xeons aren't that great anymore. The platform far too new for leagcy shit and too old for newer stuff standards

Carbon tax is fucking retarded anyway and even calling as such is even more retarded.

Call it for what really is, energy consumption tax but that also include so called "green energy" which is an oxymoron. Energy comes at a cost. You are thermodynamics bitch.

It's a $750 halo chip. If it's not under a 360mm rad, you're doing it wrong.
