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…
New rig set up and this is a beastly processor for pure gaming! Coming from I5 6600k I wanted to start pushing more frames for my 240hz monitor and gtx 1080 at 1080p.This processor easily solved that problem. I got it for $235 on sale on amazon.I was debating between this and 2700x but after adding up the cost of pricey Motherboard and ram that the Ryzen needed vs just a good cooler for the Intel it was an easy decision.I compared my system vs my friends with a 2700x(Same graphic card). He has stable 4.3 OC and I am at 5.0 OC. I am…
