nahh, I am still on an older BIOS, I don't really have issues and can't afford a performance loss joke on the new one, on the latest BIOS it forces C-States enabled on all configs, can't be disabled. I know, its not much of a deal breaker if they force it, typically no issues, just a slight penalty on latency since the cores would be idling now to C7 states (800mhz) and would take quite a few nanoseconds before it can go back up to full throttle.

There's a minor possibility I'm joining this club buying a 12900KS. The price is right but unsure if I can secure the quid for the deal.
I am but not this year apparently. Biz doesn't shine as bright as expected and I got things much more important than PC upgrades to take care of first. Yeah, running your own operation isn't as straightforward as being a salary man.

Being your own boss is worth forgoing all PC upgrades in the world. Here's to hoping you catch a break my friend :toast:

It'll be fine. Been to much worse places than this. I just need to fix a couple things first.
