The power consumption of the Ultra 9 285K is indeed lower than the previous 13900K. Now it can be cooled with a Noctua D15, and the noise level is within an acceptable range, which is the biggest relief. As for the slight performance drop compared to the 13900K, running software like Photoshop and Cubase doesn’t require top-tier performance, so it works just fine. After setting the power mode to “High Performance,” there is no noticeable difference in speed compared to the 13900K, and the CPU temperature stays around 30 degrees Celsius, which is quite acceptable.
Thank you for your suggestion. I don’t play games, as my work primarily revolves around music production and UI design. For music production, I later realized that low power consumption is a critical factor because the noise from a 360mm water cooling setup is unbearable for musicians. I would much prefer a CPU like the 9700X with just 60W TDP, as it can be adequately cooled with a single-tower, single-fan Noctua cooler. I really miss the days of the Intel 7700, when an entire PC case could be made completely silent. I also have an MBP M3 Max, which is also completely silent. However, macOS has its compatibility issues, and I can’t carry out my spectrum design work on a Mac. That said, for pure UI design, the M3 Max paired with a Studio Display is an excellent setup.
Music production han good for you, intel consumes less power i believe you bought it for the same reason instead AMD consumes lesser like you mentioned 60W 9700x but you can go with AIO cooling solutions in what ever brand you like. But now you have bought the intel so optimize or tweak things in bios like fans and operations to your medium just to check if it fits to your liking And Yes compatibility that's the issue with these new chips MBP M3 Max 💔
To resolve the issue with crashes caused by conflicts between the integrated GPU and my 4070 on 24H2, I would need to upgrade the BIOS on my Z890 Pro motherboard. Honestly, I’ve never upgraded a BIOS before, and I’m worried that after the update, my system might not boot properly. If I don’t upgrade the BIOS, staying on 23H2 is perfectly fine for me. I don’t see any must-have features in 24H2. If it offers Microsoft’s AI capabilities, it wouldn’t make much of a difference to me since I already have GPT and MidJourney, which cover my needs. Microsoft would only be providing a redundant feature at best.
Yes, it was intel integrated graphics and dedicated graphics that were causing issue people simply turned off the intel graphics in bios until intel, board partner or Microsoft came up with stable patch or update. And that's why the 24H2 was rolled backed until the issue was resolved but if you are not interested in using the intel integrated graphics you then don't need to upgrade what so ever. But to those who want to take benefit of the intel new graphics then perhaps they need to update on stable ver. of drivers until then don't update it's not recommended And it's not that hard to upgrade the bios you can simply go to the respected vendor site and they will tell you step by step what to do and how only *one thing is scary if you loss power during bios update the mobo is cooked for good* so if you're planning to update bios try to connect the PC with UPS just in case you know and it is recommended by intel and board partners to keep the bios update like the performance issue that intel said will fix in the next update with the board bios update ofcourse
@@nanipishu9 Thank you for the encouragement! I’ve already downloaded the latest BIOS, but I haven’t mustered the courage to use it yet. If the update only resolves the conflict with the integrated graphics, it doesn’t seem worth the risk. However, if it offers a significant performance boost, it might be worth considering the upgrade.
@@kangkane5121 yes that's what i meant that if the stable ver. of bios is out then indeed do the upgrade but if the update is skeptical don't bother cause it will cause the conflict issue. Yeah in the next update as intel said that there is some performance issue i mean the numbers are lower instead of high what they tested on engineering sample, so i guess in the new update you will love your 285k more 💙💙 even if it is meant for games, you will see the performance improvement but again not certain as i said in my videos that the company test is very different than the real world, and real world is the way to test the cpu and gpu as everyone is using the cpu differently with different components and different work load so fingers crossed for new update to solve the issue but if you are not feeling like update then no need, your system works just fine. Don't listen to others to do this and that so that you suck more performance from chip to me stability is more more important than 10-20 fps increase and not stable. And in Professional workload its very frustrating if the system is not stable again you are Infront of your system and you know more than anyone so if your system is working right now and not crashing or anything like freezing don't update, but in future if you want you can. Right now the platform is also not mature i mean there is hyper-threading missing new NPU is added and other power lowering instruction pwehh too many thing so yeah update is necessary but not right now. 😔😔
I just bought an Ultra 9 285K CPU and an ASUS Z890 motherboard. After installing Windows 11 24H2 on this brand-new setup, it kept crashing and rebooting repeatedly right from the start. At first, I thought my RTX 4070 GPU was faulty. Eventually, I had to downgrade to 23H2 to resolve the issue, wasting several hours of my time. Such an obvious issue, and Intel couldn’t catch it during testing? The decades-long image of Intel + Windows as a stable and highly compatible combination has been completely ruined for me. Next time, I’m going with AMD.
I'm sorry that you have to go through all this but believe me whenever i suggest people that its time to go with AMD everyone bash me with a Badge of AMD Fan boy but the truth is i am using intel cpu and nvidia gpu myself and my next workstation/gaming setup will be AMD, but its also a fact that the Windows was intentionally suppressing AMD chip perfs and still AMD pulls off now after the updates, bios updates, ccd delay issue resolved and x3d gaming mode and the memory nitropath in asus x870e believe me 9950x is a beast and if its only gaming 9800x3d and 9950x3d will be release in late January 2025 (next video on this topic state tuned) its my guess that most of the gamers will buy AMD for sure and also multi-thread work load hands down 9950x 💙💙

Good to hear things are doing well on your side, now if they only release the stable patch for windows crashing so that you enjoy your setup
cheers 🥂
