Core 9000 series

[Gibbo]

So I have a 6pack binned delidded 8700k@ 5.1, this a worthy upgrade for me?

No.

 

[8 Pack]

You must be rubbing your hands with glee at the thought of £1200+ 9900k Lapped Delidded 5.3ghz+ CPU's hahaha

Punching the air with glee!!! Binning and deliding as we speak!!!

 

[ZXSpectrum]

Agreed..

 

[B1gbeard]

Hardware Unboxed say its not good trying to run it on a Z370 mobo either? not surprised, i did say the VRMs would struggle.

You missed the bit where they said they used a budget board and that performance came up after removing the power limit on the cheapy board.

 

[NinjaCool]

The high temps on the 9900k is one of the main issues that the reviewers are pointing out besides being too expensive.

We’ve not started binning yet I am afraid because the stock is simply selling so fast as were one of the only stockist in uk with 9900k in stock so sales are crazy.

So which one is it?

 

[Robert896r1]

Any reviews on Air so far? Adding 150 to the cost of the chip is a fair amount.

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

^^^ No dont change that!!!

No.

Ok guys thanks, also edited my orginal post as I did you out of 2 pecs 8pack.

The latter because 8 Pack wasn't being serious...I think.

Yup, that's why Asus have bought out the Z370-A/P II Boards. The fabrication issues may lead to shortages of Z390 boards so this is their contingency. That said a friend of mine who deals with HFT systems had had great luck with his samples running at 5.4-5.5 All core with the Z370 Maximus Hero but in rack chassis with top secret cooling solution.

What he means is a wind tunnel, using air below zero.

 

[ViRuS2k]

Yeah guessed i jumped the gun lol

think im also going to send this 9900k back to OCUK for a refund.
as from reviews if only i had just waited 2 hours lol would have pointed out that there is hardly no difference at all compaired to my 8700k @5.2ghz delid/relid cpu chip. with far better temps.

price was a issue but i could deal with it, lol but finding out its not much faster in gaming @1440p and molten lava temps has made me decide to send it back. not to mention though the reports of VRMS overheating on Z370 boards... as i would have been putting the chip into my Gigabyte Z370 gaming 7 board but thats also another risk that the vrms might over heat but also a after thought as i dont think this would happen as i use a monoblock over cpu and vrms. still all the issues and **** intel are throwing out does not make sence

so yeah OCUK will be sending this cpu back :/

Well you could look at the time I posted and the time 8 Pack posted.

First batches of stock were kept for web stock.
Now the larger volumes have landed today, I've given stock to our SI department which 8 Pack has access too and shall then make there way into Infin8, 8 Pack and speed binned CPU's.

Any OEM CPU a customer buys is un-used, so the silicon lottery remains. All the stock 8 Pack test does not go back into webshop stock, it is all used in the infin8, 8 Pack and speed binning and de-lidded CPU's.

Looking forward to the new binned SKU's

5025MHz stable, 5050MHz stable, and 5100Mhz stable. Only £18,000,000

 

[Robert896r1]

edit: not worth it.

Actually you went to lunch we started binning these tray system stocks.

I already established binning profiles for i9 i7 and i5 using late ES batches.... Then also with these ES we adopted a delid procedure... We are saving 8-13c on stock 'solder' with 9900k.

We will offer all these sku in different bins.

I found in my testing z370 boards 100mhz light on core OC to z390 equivalent ..

What's the highest bin you have had so far @8Pack ? Interested to see how far these can be pushed with delidding, also are you guys lapping them as well ?

I can imagine anything approaching 5.4ghz is going to be in the £1200+ region?

 

[8 Pack]

We are lapping also yes. No we did not have that high. I am not binning my colleagues are I just established the profiles. I think the best so far 5.2ghz.

 

[Distracted]

Do you test first then delid, or does the delid need to happen before the testing?

 

[andy_mk3]

We asked for solder yes. But I think Intel simply had no choice to keep the thermals under control, they knew they needed to ship a 8c/16t 5ghz cpu. Its quite laughable that soldered cpus still need a delid!!
