Core i9 9900k Builders Thread

Nah. Prescott was often slower than its predecessor (Northwood-C). At least the 9900k outperforms the 8700k in pretty much every scenario, even if sometimes it isn't by much.

Finally got my 9900K in from Amazon last week! I'm *really* tempted to build as I have every part except the GPU (can use integrated graphics for now)!

Some of the folks that did pre-orders were told that December was when there would be widespread availability. Maybe now people can actually buy the 9900k without having to jump through too many hoops or pay an overlarge premium?

Amazon and Newegg are showing stock (as are some others) though the prices are still inflated. $550-$570.

Yep I noticed that as well. I ordered from Amazon because they had it for $499 plus I had credit so it brought the price down to around $350 - I was more than fine waiting! 😀

Tweaked many settings this Thanksgiving weekend. Got my score much higher while retaining stability. CPU at 4.9GHz all cores (5.1GHz single core). It now beats my previous 6950X at 4.125GHz.

I just gained massive points by switching out my RAM with G.SKILL Trident Z RGB memory.

Glad to see Intel running speeds/timings like that with memory above 16GB. AMD may still not be there even with Zen2.
 
Did some tweaking today. 9900K @ 4.9GHz all cores / 5.0GHz four cores / 5.1GHz two cores. Memory @ 3866 16-18-18-2T. 2080 Ti @ +150 core / + 600 memory. Everything stable for 24/7 use.
