Intel Core i9-11900K vs. i9-10900K for Overclocking?

I've been looking at the new Intel CPUs and I'm curious about the difference in overclocking capabilities between the i9-11900K and i9-10900K. Can anyone share some insights on this?

From what I've read, both the i9-11900K and i9-10900K have excellent support for overclocking. However, the 11900K seems to have a slight edge over the 10900K in terms of its DDR4 max stock speed and PCIe support.

@yogomushi mentioned that there's an article on TechReviewer that discusses this in detail. You can check it out here Intel Core i9-11900K vs. Intel Core i9-10900K. It covers the differences between the two CPUs, including their overclocking capabilities.

Thanks for sharing that, @IconistSF. I'll definitely have a look at that article. Just to clarify, does this mean that the 11900K is generally better suited for overclocking than the 10900K?

@slickrick33, based on my understanding, both CPUs offer excellent support for overclocking. However, there are some differences in their specifications that might impact your choice. The 11900K has a slightly higher base frequency and supports DDR4 with a max stock speed of 3200 MHz, while the 10900K has a lower max stock speed of 2933 MHz.

@yogomushi, you mentioned the PCIe difference between the two CPUs. Can you elaborate on that?

Of course, @showtheway! The 11900K supports PCIe 4.0, which offers faster data transfer rates and improved performance compared to PCIe 3.0, which is supported by the 10900K. This could potentially make a difference in tasks that require high-speed data transfers or when using the latest GPUs and SSDs.

That's really helpful information. I think I'll go with the i9-11900K for my build then. Thanks everyone for your input!

@slickrick33, you're welcome! Just remember to use a high-end cooler as you'll be maintaining higher frequencies for overclocking. Good luck with your build!
