TLDR , it's a good chip but not worth the extra $$$.

And if its not a good chip you can fry an egg on it

 

[orbitalwalsh]

i did say you didnt need a lot of volts for 5.0-2 ghz * scratch that, seems to be luck of the draw with some review needing 1.45v for 5.2ghz vs wothers with 1.38v...

though the loads it puts on VRM is quite high

And if its not a good chip you can fry an egg on it

You can pretty much boil water on top of it

TDLR: Very hot, Very expensive and the *fastest gaming chip there is.

Think the link for this is for the 2600X/2700X.

 

[Poneros]

Basically, if you don't have a 2080ti or two, it's a bit of a waste to spend the money on this CPU, because the associated costs are also very high (mobo, cooling).

Oops!!

 

[Nelly]

Intel's own marketing paraded the Core i9-9900K as the best processor for gamers. While that is technically true, the differences are rather slim in our own testing. For example, at 1080p resolution, with all games set to highest details, the difference between i7-8700K and i9-9900K is just 2%.

lulz

 

[doodah]

I know they retested but really not sure how PI can look at themselves in the mirror, Intel's arrogance marches on.

Beast of a CPU though!

 

[beany_bot]

I know it's an Intel video but I'm amazed Hardware Canucks didn't managed to slip in something about Nvidia being the greatest company in the world and the 2080Ti being the best value card ever you must buy 2.

Now we know why they went back to solder. Without it they'd have to clock them at least 200MHz slower to stay under thermal limits. Intel better hope 10nm is ready next year, because they're not getting anything else from 14nm.

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Looks to be a great upgrade over my 5820K, although the MSRP being $530, and seeing it listed here for over £600 is a little disheartening. Especially when you through in the Mobo, and RAM.

CPU looks like it'll be fine at stock, or 5Ghz all core on my NH-D15s.

Hopefully there are some nice 8Pack and OcUK upgrade bundle deals soon. Wouldn't mind snagging on then, with decent mobo and some 8Pac 3600Mhz RAM.

 

[humbug]

So as predicted its very slightly better than the 8700K at gaming for a whole lot more money.

 

[Drollic]

The temps are all over the place it seems.
