Get it!! Worth every penny!! Was debating whether to get this one or the i7-9700k. Glad i choose this one, save me the extra $150. This is also my first unlocked series cpu. Was easily able to OC to 5.1ghz with a flip of a switch, paired with MSI Z390 gaming edge mobo. So far no issues, this thing is BEAST! Very Fast!
Love these idle temps Haven’t seen idle temps this low since my 2600k thanks to the internal thermal material. Under a custom water loop from EK, from what I’ve seen so far, they won’t crack 30 degrees, even after being ran all day and gaming all day. Always stays under 30 idle. Easily over clocks to 5 GHz as well to get those benchmark scores a little higher. Workstation-level of needs will most likely need to go with some more cores, however. Really happy with this new chip overall since I didn’t/don’t require…
9600K is hot! I know its more cores, but this sucker is cooking in the 80’s with a massive 2 tower air cooler on a full load.[EDIT] After more testing and a application of better TIM, Temps are well under 60’s on ful load for longer then an hour.
