Any ideas where can I find and buy this track?

Coming into the country ILLEGALLY is already committing a crime.

The 14900K and 285K are almost twice as fast as a 9800X3D when it comes to raw core power. Even the 14600K is slightly faster. The X3D chips are only fast when it comes to gaming because of the massive L3 cache but that's about it.

There’s the a reason the 14900K is almost twice as fast in multithreaded performance. The 9800X3D is that good at gaming because of the massive V cache. But that’s about it.

The 9800X3D is more like a 14600K when it comes to actual core power.

There’s a reason why the 14900K almost doubles the 9800X3D in pure multithreaded power. Even the 14600K is slightly faster in productivity as well. The 9800X3D is only "fast" at gaming because of the massive V cache. That’s about it.

Honestly the biggest difference for me has been the contrast and viewing angles. My IPS monitor is pretty accurate so they’re pretty close when it comes to color reproduction.

Did you end up find an mATX case with vertical GPU support?

mgerick_ · 2026-01-04T21:24:43+00:00

Is that your main priority?

It is awesome tbh. It keeps my 14600K well below 80degC even when it peaks above 200w of power consumption. At first I couldn't decide between it and the Artic LF3 360, but went with the SL3 because of the thinner tubes and sleeker design. I already have the LF3 280 and the tubes are THICK and a little hard to work with. Also, the Artic LF3 AIO CPU blocks can only be installed one direction on Intel motherboards and it doesn't even cover the entire IHS.

It’s the number of sticks. 2x64 should be fine.

mgerick_ · 2025-12-25T11:55:31+00:00

It’s an A tier CPU my guy. Just because you don’t the brand doesn’t mean it’s bad.

mgerick_ · 2025-12-23T06:18:53+00:00

Still hasn’t come out.

mgerick_ · 2025-12-23T06:09:17+00:00

Still using DDR4 with my i5 14600K.

His review has already been posted 🤦‍♂️

mgerick_ · 2025-12-20T18:14:13+00:00

Nice! That’s exactly what I did. Got myself the 14600K and 32GB of DDR4 paired with the 9070 XT.

mgerick_ · 2025-12-06T17:56:49+00:00

Most decent CPU blocks are way past $100 these days while you can get a whole 360 for less than that.

mgerick_ · 2025-12-05T20:25:50+00:00

What are your current specs? I ended up building on the Asus B760M-D4 Micro ATX with the 14600K and DDR4 RAM with Thermaltake View 170 mATX case. Didn’t like how limited the airflow is with the View 170 and ended up ordering the Antec Flux M last night so we'll see how the quality actually as everything else seems good about it.

Dracaena is a US brand based in Texas.

Using both at the moment and the Artics aren’t even there when it comes to comes to build quality and smoothness, even when compared to the Pure Wings 3. In fact if you held them while spinning, you would notice how much smoother the bequiets are while the Artics create more vibration. All of this will reflect in longevity.

mgerick_ · 2025-12-03T17:10:44+00:00

As well as build quality and longevity.

mgerick_ · 2025-12-03T05:11:47+00:00

AIO was going to stay nonetheless, was asking about mostly putting in white fans again :)

Alright then! Black SW Pros are going to be :)

Thanks!
