Designed by a programmer after a quick crash course in electrical and electronics engineering. Tested overnight with Furmark. "Yeah, this baby is ready for prime time!".

Easy DIY fix. Cut an appropriately sized hole in the side cover so the ampinel can protrude freely. Then cover up the protrusion with a shoe box.

Happy New Year!

Got my 245KF over 6000 with Intel XTU's help: https://www.overclock.net/posts/29543322/

Phew! Updated OP with fix for "broken files" error that some people may receive. Issue seems to be that Windows has no received the certificate update yet via Windows Updates.

These are probably the CPUs that need to be downgraded to 7800X3D level of safety limits. Seems AMD hasn't been able to identify these weak CPUs in their normal validation routine or they just don't care.

Interesting thread: Cafe owner using 9800X3D with Huntkey PSUs and cheap mobos and claims he lost a CPU almost every two weeks. AMD needs to send someone over and slap him with a bill if it turns out that his own components have been the culprits all along.

Shimada Peak 9970X: https://www.overclock.net/posts/29542917/ Must be thermally limited because I was expecting something above 20K.

This guy's NASTY (I'm joking!) workloads killed two 285K CPUs! https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2025-09-07-bye-intel-hi-amd-9950x3d/

My observations suggest that AMD and Intel are following two different ways of designing chips. AMD: Going about their business in a calm but determined manner. Iteratively refining their designs. They are focusing on smaller but deliverable IPC improvements. Intel: They have been working...

https://www.overclock.net/posts/29542784/ Custom cooled 285K is able to barely get over 11000 too. Sucks how thermally limited halo chips are :(

What kind of cooling are you using and what are the other settings like RAM speed/timings and PBO etc? This guy's custom cooled rig breached 11000! https://www.overclock.net/posts/29542615/

My mind was out of it. Looks like CB2026 has been rewritten to favor more threads or AVX-512.

https://www.overclock.net/threads/cinebench-2026.1818522/ Seems other Arrow Lake users have no issues. May have to try in a Hyper-V VM since I don't want to clean install Windows just for one benchmark. So to no one's surprise, CB 2026 is massively and outlandishly favoring Arrow Lake, with...

We could be headed that way. If and when the AI bubble pops, what are these companies going to do with millions of GPUs? Game streaming could be one answer. Only send a 720p image (which also enables a single GPU to serve more than one customer) and then upscale that with AI using tensor cores...

Gosh. That's pennies compared to the valuation of Steam.

Didn't run on my 245KF. Gave some "libraries are corrupted" error. The zip archive tests fine in Winrar without any CRC errors so it's not corrupted. Thought it was Win11 23H2. Updated it to 25H2. Still same. Every other benchmark seems to be working fine. Guess even Maxon didn't buy Arrow...
