dam that i9 is a beast - but yea not much of an upgrade from 8 gen.. and imo pretty weird i7, from 6/12 to 8/8? if u want 8/16 if have to go i9.. hmm..

havent looked into this.. u know if they run on 300 chipsets or require new? and will the i9 have its own

7700k, nother pass from me

2080 ti tho, hmm

The i9-9900k, will just be the replacement of i7 in the top of consumer CPUs. It will run on same chips with the rest of the line-up.

It will be compatible with the previous 300 series chipset through a BIOS update. An i9-9900k can even run on an H310, Asrock leaked this by a mistake 20 days ago



There will probably be a i9-9900x in the enthusiasts next year. Gonna be quite confusing soon.
Already is with AMD stealing the chipset naming scheme
B150, B250 and B350 is for intel. B450 is for AMD.

this is actually good news for me, means that i can upgrade my cpu if i want.. and tbh i also like the 9900k... lvl 99 i wonder about price tho..

b350 is also AMD thats where it happend and intel took 360 iirc

OMG that's true B350 is AMD, while B360 is Intel. Man this is already confusing... Now i gotta look at the socket type as well

It's probably going to be ~450$

I'll believe it when I see it tbh. Although if they intend to push high clocks at 8/16 there better be goddamn solder.

good if the delidding thing is over, i heard some ppl was selling mobos with delidded overclocked cpus for very expensives prices - pretty lame imo

i would never delid.. anyone here done it?

Yep. Super easy.

Never done it on my own CPU's before. I did it for a friend tho.
These guys live on delideding and test overclocking: https://siliconlottery.com/collections/coffeelake

If they used the same TIM on the 9900k I would have delidded it.
