AndrewRall 10 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 My desk is pulled out because I'm currently using the streaming box.

RSLtaken 208 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 That a great setup you have there. Can I ask what temp you was getting on the 9900k with that one 360 radiators? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewRall 10 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) @ 5.0 on all cores in short controlled tests I didn't break 70ish. Beyond that in step up increments on the 9900k seemed to be a problem. The product seemed to have had a weird threshold range on thermals that didn't scale properly. They (as a production batch) may even have a materials problem so I would hesitate in recommending the 9900k at this time. My impression was that it seemed to run incredibly hot compared to the 8700k with similar adjustments. Understandably, I may even go back to a 8700k on my main.

Bursar 117 Report post Posted October 29, 2018 Thanks for the info on the 9900k. Ive been looking at it and a lot of the reviews have been hedging their opinions. A big price increase for not a lot of gain. I think I will sit on my credit card for a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
