Intel Core-i9-13900 or 14900 Stability Creo Parametric

[mwa]

a) Does anyone have experience with the stability and performance of Creo Parametric on an Intel Core-i9-13900 or 14900 CPU? 

b) what motherboard and chipset is advised?

c) There is also a chipset which supports ECC RAM memory.  Is it needed for a good stability of Creo ?

d) Is ECC RAM needed for a good stability of Creo Simulation Live ?

e) How is the sound level? Is it silent or a lot of noise when high performanceis asked?

f) How is the experience with over clocking the CPU to about 5.8 GHz regarding above questions? 

g) Comparing the specification with Xeon processors the Core i9-13900 may perform better.

- Is this also the case in practice?

- Is this also the case when not using the over clocking?

h) Is Creo always using the Performance Cores of these CPU and how is this managed?

i) How reliable is the Core i9 and what about lifetime when over clocking with respect to a Xeon processor?

j) Is over clocking possible or can this performance increase not be earned and is it downscaled by the workstation supplier (HP, Dell, Lenovo) due to thermal issues in the workstation housing?

Thanks for your replys

I have no experience with the CPUs in question.

In my experience ECC RAM is not necessary for CSL stability.

I would strongly suggest procurement of certified hardware if you plan to push the limits of CSL. Note that CSL primarily relies on the GPU and not the CPU.

I usually look at Olaf Corten's benchmark to get a good idea of what is fast.

Usually the fastest are custom built specifcally for Creo to be fast, high performance machines but if you go down a little, you find some more "stock" machines that are very decent performers.
