i7-8086K

Yeah isn't that the one that actually eats metal if you're not careful when you're mixing two different metals?

Aluminum, which we are not dealing with.
 
Thought it also damaged copper?

Sort of, it contains Gallium which will severely react with Aluminum and destroys the structure of it. Other metals are, IIRC, unaffected. So you have to be very careful with it and use Steel, Brass, Nickle and Copper based parts. Copper is really the best. And the thermal conductivity is amazing.

Thought it also damaged copper?
No, Copper is completely unaffected.
 
Who here is considering getting the so-called i9-9900K as a replacement of their i7-8086K?

If the rumours are correct, it’s Intel’s first mainstream chip since the Sandies that has solder instead of pigeon poop, 8C/16T and all core 5GHz apparently all but guaranteed!
 
Only the K series are soldered BTW - with the possible exception of the 9600k.

I am not replacing the 8086K but i will buy a 9900K or 9700K even if the 9900K wouldn't be the right choice for Gaming.
 
9700K would be pretty perfect for gaming tbh, and the 9900K would be more or less ideal as a solid all around home office / home / gaming do-it-All rig.

You got my point

Stains, not damages.

...

Well come to think about it, it stains pretty much everything.

buy one for me too :cry:

Waiting for reviews, only because 8086K's 12MB cache vs 9900K's 16MB cache. If I got the 9900K then I'd probably run with HT off. Given how toasty a delidded 5GHz 8086K is, am curious if the 9900K can really do 5GHz all cores with regular loads (ie, not pure AVX). It's probably not worth the hassle for me though.
 
Toasty, voltage and clock speeds please?

1.36v to stabilize AVX, and that leads to thermal throttling still even delidded. Replacement cpu was better but still not stellar. At least it didn't take 1.425 like siliconlottery bins at. For everyday use it works great, don't want to give the wrong impression. If I had to run Prime95 loads, I'd knock it back to 4.8 though and reduced voltage.
 
you are not the first one i hear saying that the 8086K still even Delidded runs hot, i keep mine at 5.0GHz with 1.248V ( summertime ) it could runs with 1.226V but i always add a little more Voltage, nothing to say about temps.

May as well just get the 9700K then, if the leaked specs are accurate.

Mine goes into the low 80s °C on air (ambient around 30°C) with 5.2GHz under AVX loads at 1.38V. Maybe the delidding process wasn’t that great on xorbe’s chips?

Could be but if something went wrong i guess he tried to correct it:confused:

How are you cooling that 8086k? I don't think I can trust your system specs....
 
Yup, that was the joke. :slap::laugh: And why i asked.
 
So it looks as though the 9900K struggles to maintain a 5GHz all core OC with even an NH-D15 without thermal throttling. Guess I’ll stick with the 8086K @ 5.3 then. Might see a 10% improvement in things like Handbrake but will probably see a slight drop in low-core usage, so I just can’t see the sense in ‘upgrading’ to the 9900K.

Well, i guess a Watercooling/Waterchiller loop will do better the jog;)
 
Quick Question.

Does anyone own a i7-8086K?

I know it's late had mine since the start of August, it's a great cpu and collectable afterwards.

Talking about Collectable so got the Intel Pentium G3258, not home it's in the UK but it's there :laugh:

*EDIT* forgot to add it's running on a ASRock Z370 Taichi with a modded bios by @R-T-B with disabled Intel ME.

Agree with you, honestly i shouldn't upgrade to a 9900K/9700K but meh i know how i am:D already picked the MainBoard:kookoo:

@Knoxx29 You need more Intel stuff!! :D :laugh:

Judging by the TPU it seemed somewhat of a let down the new 9900k.. I'm still so pleased with my 5960X I've not even considered buying it, that and the massively high price for it put me right off! Intel got some nerve at the mo with their pricing....
