AIOs if you can't fit big tower heatsinks. Big towers perform better, but AIOs can fit into smaller spaces.

NH-D15S or a 280mm AIO is going to be the best choice if your case supports it.

I don't think a 280mm AIO would fit. The air vent above is 210mm long by 150mm. Or am I being retarded?

Depends on if it's there's more space around the vent, I guess. You don't strictly need to have open airflow through the entire radiator, although it certainly does help. What case is it, though? Usually the manual or manufacturer's product page will state what radiator sizes it supports and in which positions.

Again, though, I really don't agree with the recommendation for AIO coolers for these CPU's.

No idea, bought it from Maplins as a cheaper bigger case in order to just fit in a 1080. Never thought I'd upgrade for a while after that, but here we are!

The top vent is slightly bigger outside of the vent to a 230 length.

Only caught your previous post until after I replied to the previous poster. Was hoping to keep all my options open and work from there.

A modern 280 AIO is going to perform about the same as a NH-D15, which is probably the highest end air cooler there is and a high end 360 is going to beat it. The drawbacks to the AIO will be more points of failure, slightly harder installation, and slightly louder (for 280). The drawback to the giant air cooler is going to be potential compatibility problems due to clearance and working around it in the case. The AIO is also going to run $20-40 more (or more for 360). You grab the AIO for aesthetic reasons more than anything.

It's good to see 2.5G, 5G, and even 10G networking integrated into some of the boards. Looks like everybody doing it is using Aquantia chipsets.

So 9900K is basically a 8700K with two extra cores and soldered heatspreader? Since I've delidded my 8700K the question basically is: do I need two extra cores, and how much they would cost? 200€ after selling my 8700K? That doesn't sound very wise for mostly gaming purposes.

At least I wouldn't have to upgrade my ram& motherboard, which is quite rare.

Honestly, in your particular case it'd be smarter to just wait until the fervor dies down. There's absolutely nothing those extra two cores will offer you - just be happy that you have a nice upgrade path open to you. :unsmith:

There are no reviews yet but yes, you can pretty much expect this to just be Coffee Lake with two extra cores and solder. Maybe some minor changes to the cache system.

Right now the gaming difference should be minimal (see: 2600X vs 2700X) because games barely use 6 cores anyway, but if threading finally takes off over the next few years then the 9900K is potentially more future-proof, and it will be faster for non-gaming stuff.

For people who are purely interested in gaming and don't want to bet on "future-proofing", the 9700K is potentially a much better deal. In practice, 8C8T is going to be faster than 6C12T in almost every situation. Dunno if it's really worth selling your processor and upgrading though.

Are Intel TDP values just fantasy numbers? 95W doesn't seem like a lot since it's in-line with my 2600K before overclocking, though I guess I've missed a few years of lower TDPs.

At this point I'm considering upgrading more from paranoia than anything else, since the (first-gen) Gigabyte Z68 board is getting old though it hasn't had any hiccups at all so far. Glad I spent extra on the UD-P model, and also for spending extra for hyperthreading years ago. If I do go 9th gen I'll probably buy the 9900k since the 2600k at 4.5ghz has worked so well for so long, but that's a pretty big price jump just for virtual cores. If hyperthreading is really a big security concern maybe I should go for a 9700k instead.. I'm going to wait for reviews, but at the time I bought my current chip no one really understood that 2500ks would be undesirable vs 2600ks these days.

I've been carting around an original HR-02 since socket 1366 where the chips were expected to hit 200W+ when overclocked. Assuming I never had any problems cooling a 920 at 1.4v is it safe to assume I can probably just keep using the same cooler?

No, at stock settings the CPU will throttle itself to conform to the TDP rating. Which of course is ridiculous with these 5GHz 8C/16T monsters, you'll get some stupidly low clock if you actually try to use all those threads because it's so power starved. You will absolutely need to lift the TDP limit to get your money's worth. My 8700K can draw >170W at 4.9GHz, for comparison.

Turbo's the big thing that lets them keep relatively low TDPs, the base speed is only 3.6GHz, not much faster then a Sandybridge with a lot of process improvements in between.

vs





So about 180W with a 1080 Ti when running Cinebench, at 4.7 GHz. About the same as a 2700X at 4.3-ish, or maybe a little less depending on the site.

(Intel 14++ is at least a half node if not a full node ahead of GF 12nm. GF 14nm/TSMC 16nm are more similar to Intel 22nm.)

If you assume 80% PSU efficiency, and 10W at idle for the 1080 Ti, that puts the CPU/mobo at ~118W.

I figured I'd just set the wattage as high as it'll go as an override like I do now. Guess I can just hang onto this cooler until it no longer fits on boards. PSU efficiency will be roughly 91% at that wattage unless jonnyguru.com somehow lied about this review sample.

The common rule-of-thumb is that hyperthreading can give you up to 30% more performance. In reality it's just scheduling stuff onto idle execution units, so it can be less, or zero, or negative (although that doesn't happen much anymore). Games are usually more like 10%.

This is 30% more real cores, so even in good cases for hyperthreading it should outperform HT.

Of course if your game is bottlenecked on a single thread (which I think Stellaris is) then nothing is going to help. The only thing you can do then is push clocks right to the firewall and run fast RAM.

Well at least a low end 2.5G port is a step in the right direction. I'd LIKE a native 2.5G port natively on the next gen mobos as i'm sure this thing is going to have a noticeable cpu consumption.

I wonder how much faster the 9900k is than my 6850k (4.2 all core OC).

BW was real close to Skylake IPC. So math would suggest ~12% faster at stock clocks (than your OC), plus 1.12 x 33% = 1.5x as fast in MT. Add another ~5% if you OC the 9900K.

Here's an example, on OCUK the 8700k on its own is £470 but you can get a loving shitload more on the AMD side of things

It's not even close. Who the gently caress would buy a 8700k right now? Prices are insane. AMD is absolutely exploiting the situation with these crazy giveaways they're doing.

You can get a 8700K for 429€ or an 8086K for 476€ in Germany, and something like a 8600 for budget gaming builds in the low 200's.
The 9 series are not even listed yet and prices you find could be preorder scalping.
