13900KS (top performance) compared to 14900K
Hello! The deal on the SP 13900KS at a similar price to the new 14900K sounds promising. It’s already cleaned up, and you’ve got a direct die setup with five 480mm rads. Worth considering it—great value if you’re looking for performance.
If you intend to proceed regardless, purchasing a unit that’s already delidded seems sensible—it removes the chance of harming the 14900K during the process. Since the two CPUs are essentially the same, differences in performance won’t matter much.
