Or Overclock this and get 5.2ghz no problem all cores
It seems pretty much previous golden samples are the new KS.
My launch window chip which is golden does 5.2ghz (no avx offset) daily on my 360 AIO. That's occt large/avx2, x264, blender and p95 small fft non avx stable. That's about where these chips are landing.
Atleast people don't have to pay for a premium bin anymore.

Or just wait a few months >_>, there's nothing fundamentally different performance wise here unless you simply must have it or haven't upgraded in ages (but this socket is EOL).
If i were looking, this simply wouldn't excite me, but maybe i'm a prune.

Indeed. And that's if you were lucky enough to bag a 9900k that did 5Ghz after all that tinkering.
Good chip no doubt, though that warranty compared to the rest of the retail product stack, for that amount of money, would have me think twice. More over, Why?

I've done a lot of reading up on 9900's lately as I've been toying with upgrading and the KS initially looked like an option. I think it's safe to say "most" will do 5Ghz it's just a lot need higher than average volts and to control the temp you'd need custom water which the people saying they can't get 5Ghz don't tend have. <<Huge generalisation there.
I'm still quite tempted by going 9900K and pushing it to 4.8 (where my 8700K sits) and being done with it.
4.8Ghz is in no way 'pushing it' for a 9900K.
FFS this forum is so hell bent on nit picking every word you write! Was the context of the full sentence not enough??? It does not in any way insinuate 4.8Ghz is a high frequency!?! Does the "and being done with it" not give anything away that I'm fully aware 4.8 isn't bleeding edge?
For absolute clarity for the people who have nothing better to do than try to pick fault with everything everyone says on here:
"Pushing the ratio up" -not- "pushing the chip at 4.8"
...yeah, riiiight.
I'm sorry to rant and that wasn't really aimed at you. Just triggered me at the wrong time. There seems to be so many people on here lately who literally trip over themselves to point out the slightest detail that you may have been 0.1% out on and it's really starting to annoy. Don't get me started on how this is clearly an Intel thread and the AMD crew seem to feel entitled to try to justify there purchase which was half the price and is "nearly" as good.
I'm going for a lie down.

£600 I think I will pass , £520 I may have press the order button , but £150 over the plane 9900k it's a bit rich for me.

I think I'd go for the K too. Its that 1 year warranty that would be constantly in the back of my mind. Hopefully the KS will be fine for many years. It's just intel themselves offer 1 year warranty. And if you are in the last chance saloon for extending a Z390 setup for a good few years with it's final flagship, just alarm bells for me. A normal good ol K will last many years. Particular if you can get a 2nd hand one that was already doing 5Ghz. Should be some bargains to be had on chips flogged on for those going 9900k/KS about soon.
Surely now though, the fact that Intel are binning these cpu's, if you try to get a retail one, you'll have little chance of a golden chip (they've all been taken)
Agreed, a 1 year warranty stinks of a lack of confidence.
9900K's new now though are almost certainly binned as not meeting the KS standard, nearly makes me look at KF's just for the fact that they side step that process in the first instance by not having a functioning GPU.
It's spot on.. The lovely situation of AMD does not boost to what it says on Box.... Its ok cause its amd they struggle. If Intel would not boost **** me would be nuclear war over internet amrite ??

Oh 8Pack, pretty sure the vast majority of posters in this thread do give a "shiny ****" about Ryzen and are commenting on how much of a waste of space this KS actually is. Interesting that you continually lambaste Ryzen products but have recently put your name on "approved" Ryzen 3000 kit.
But do keep shilling that broken Intel junk in your gaudy, overpriced systems. Good lad.

No, not even remotely.
why are the amd fanboys in here
I love amd and love what they have done for cpu's the last few years
infact i have a Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+ and a Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x
and expected to get the a 3000 series on launch
but many things put me off on launch that i wont get into as this thread isnt about ryzen
plz kindly go chat in another thread about your hate for intel
Ordered my KS btw..

Oddly the thread concentrates on the 9900KS and not Ryzen. We can have threads that don't have to compare Ryzen to Intel sometimes.
