I only see it at a laughable £529. 10900KF is 1 billion times a better buy. Usually around the £370 mark at other places.
Yep, looking forward to somewhat faster disk speeds amongst other benefits. Just swapped my motherboard to the Asus Rog Maximus Hero XIII and updated the BIOS ready to insert new CPU tomorrow. And it all worked and booted first time which is a relief!

Price is +VAT.
I am upgrading from the 10900KF. For PCI-E 4 support and the fastest 2K+ resolution fps money can buy. Yes its not great value for money, but it is the best you can buy for that use right now.
As far as I know these are the first batch of KFs to reach the UK. Only the more expensive with GPU K version has been available up until now and who is going to buy a core i9 and then use onboard graphics?!

What do you mean, fastest 2K+ resolution fps? Is that game specific?
I asked myself similar, who is going to buy an i9 with two less cores than previous gen? Now i have found out.
Its a decent cpu though so enjoy, just not really worthy of the i9 moniker.I asked myself similar, who is going to buy an i9 with two less cores than previous gen? Now i have found out.
If it's not an i7 nor an i9, has to be an i8?
Nice, enjoy your setup mate.
Very happy with my 11900k + Maximus Hero XIII. Solid as a rock stability wise, no bugs, no BSOD, just works, and of course maxes out my 3080 with ease at 4k.
Loading times and transfer speeds with a 980 Pro are just ridiculous
4x M.2 slots is a lovely feature to have on this board.

The 11900k should be around the same price as a 5800x £400.
Yes my friend paid £416.99 which is an ok price.
Between the 5900x and 5950x is not a good place for it

Yes agree with all that. I swapped the motherboard first to the Hero XIII and for whatever reason with my previous 10900KN even with the latest BIOS it was not stable and kept refusing to boot to the correct graphics card and kept hanging / bluescreening which worried me somewhat. However as soon as I swapped to the 11900KF it was fine.
And yes I get the full 5000 MB/s from my Sabrent Rocket now and 3500 MB/s from a Samsung 970 Pro.

The 11900 needs to be GPU limited for it not to get beaten by a 5800X. Which is much cheaper. Oh and much more power efficient. Oh and it's only a midrange chip.
what use case does he have for PCIE4 in which AMD isn’t a better cpu?
