9900KS...

[Threepwood]

Ye but good memory kits are not cheap are they ??


Id like to see something like 9900ks with 100quid memory kit vs 3800 with 250quid memory kit

There are B-die 16gb memory kits for £100 right now, so that is a bit moot.... you are more talking a £70 kit vs a £100 atm!

Well for £110 you can have a Guaranteed screened B-Die kit with stunning 8 Pack heatspreaders, worth extra tenner all day long. £120 gets you 3600MHz 8 pack kit.

Or for £70-£80 you can grab a Corsair 3200-3600MHz kit.

14-14-14-31 3200 is a good bin. Whoever makes it cheapest, get that. Especially true on Ryzen.

well bitwit has 9900k can do 5ghz on 1.26 v/core and overclock better than his 9900ks. hes got a good 9900k same as me my 9900k hits 5ghz at 1.27 v/core and 5.3ghz with 1.365 v/core

Aye, if the 8 pack stuff is on sale I would recommend that for sure! Would have bought it myself, but was a weeny bit too rich when its not on sale! Especially being the same bin! (I see the normal price of the 3600 has really come down, it was over £160!)

You know I like my ram best i can Wounder if i could get that 3600 8pack kit to run on my mega tight timings 3800cl16 like i got the 41338pack kit. Ofc would need more volts. Teamgroup been my go to choice for years now. And them 8pack kits are plain epic

I'd love to see how tight on timings I culd go with

bet mega tight 3800cl14 on ryzen could beat my not beaten at ocuk Memory speed on Ryzen platform hehe. But i got the 4133 kit so this maybe could go lower hard 2 say dont ahve one to play around


Back to intel they would do great with Micron high end kit. Those can get fantastic speed
5000mhz micron beta memory kit

1 year warranty ?

 

[youdsy]

1 year warranty ?

Laughable for a £600 CPU

 

[NinjaCool]

I have to admit I looked an extra time when I saw the 1 year warranty only for such an expensive CPU.

I'm really hating intel lately....

[Spook187]

Came on to buy one and ended up going elsewhere when I seen the price.

 

[IT Troll]

So the 9900k should be faster but has 6 threads likely not used well?

That may be what's happening, but the difference between 8C8T and 8C16T is ~23%. Which is about what you would expect as a performance increase with HT across all 16 threads with a well-threaded process. Either way, it is neither a good CPU or game benchmark.

Yeah. I wonder how many months this guy waiting for the 9900K replacement.

Considering that the 9900KS is more or less EOL within the next 8 months when the new socket arrives.

Don't quote me on this, but I read that higher frequency is much easier than low timings, and that you have a better chance of keeping low timings with something that has been binned for low timings than one binned for higher frequency.

 

[Shonk]

people are saying eu is getting 3 years warranty
as they have to cover the 2 year anyway

 

[3t3P]

See my ram settings in Sig.

 

[Grim5]

Intel need to do a lot more than this to gain on AMD.

Not in sales - I'm just highlighting how much people continue to talk about Intel

It's insulting, especially when CPU is pushed to its limits like this. It could not post after a year and a half and that's £600 down the drain.
