Due to an error by Newegg on the first day of the promotion, I was lucky enough to get the Phantom edition instead of the Standard edition. It would be a shame if I didn't end up getting it...
That's very lucky! Did you also buy an i5-14600K? I thought Phantom Edition promo was for either i7 or i9,
I bought my i5-14600K for $150 and upgraded from my i7-12700F, which I have just sold for $150. It was still profitable for me, a 30% better CPU and Battlefield 6 I was going to get anyway for the same price.
Yes, I also bought an I5-14600k. I replaced my i5-12400f.
Without tuning, the processor consumed 200-220 watts in BF2042) I had to undervolt the processor, now it consumes 100-120 watts without any loss of performance
