I9-9900 (NON K)

[HaKN !]

Hey guys , just the bought the i9-9900 non k for 1727kr danish money ( 261,2 USD / 206 pounds / 231 euro ) and its very cheap here. U think i need to worry when the new ryzen series launches or should i just keep this.

Im a gamer/browser. I dont OC at all only out of box OC. Cause i really dont got time anymore( just got my first born ) so stability is key nr1

Wow good price. $430 here in US.

What is the S-spec and batch#? Just wondering if this an R0 stepping

 

[HaKN !]

Yea it was a mistake priceset but i was faster it is a R0 , the batch nr is unreadable

 

[Metroid]

Very good price, it seems those prices reflect to what will happen in few weeks. Price drop!!!

 

[Melvis]

Good buy! and no id just keep it and use it and wouldnt worry about going to AMD, your not going to get much more improvement over that CPU for that price I would think, well done!

 

[cucker tarlson]

great price,killer cpu.
why would you worry regardless of what ryzen brings ? you got a beatly cpu for a great price. at 230 euros you won't be remotely close to buying a ryzen 3700.hell,even the 2600x's 6 core successor (3600x) is gonna cost $250.

 

[HaKN !]

Yea well i guess the ryzen hype got me worried. The boost is very diffrent from other intel cpus ive seen before. Boost to 5ghz even under gaming and i undervolted it to 1.24 and it stays under 75c with a small noctua cooler

 

[xtreemchaos]

well done, a give away price for a cracking chip you will not be dissapointed it will match ryzen and out perform most.

 

[hat]

It looks like it will be a decent chip for some time to come yet. More than marginal changes are coming for the first time in millions of internet years, but it's not like there will be a revolutionary upgrade from an i9-9900. Especially when you are that busy with real life where you don't have much time to spend on the computer anyway.

That is the idea, undervolt instead of overvolting, overvolting a 14nm 8 cores 16 threads cpu will burn the entire house hehe, at this time and age I think turbo has to be for at least 50% of threads and the undervolting would have to consider those 50% threads to be stable for at least 60 minutes. All those 50% threads would have to hit 5ghz.

where can i get one of those ?

 

[dj-electric]

That's an incredible price, what the hell

 

[bug]

Newer Ryzen may perform better in heavily multithreaded scenarios, but games are not among those. You have one of the best 5 gaming CPUs in the world and it's not going to become slower just because new Ryzens are launched. Enjoy your new toy

 

[HaKN !]

where can i get one of those ?

Proshop.dk had them to 1727kr for some hours , i took advantage right away but waited for a month before it came

That's an incredible price, what the hell

I know man , i was lucky AF

U think i need to worry when the new ryzen series launches

I am going to assume there is a "lost in translation" issue here as "worry" suggests a strong feeling of anxiety or fear about a situation resulting in faster heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating even nausea, diarrhea and more. I don't think you mean that.

The i9-9900 is a great processor and as seen here (2902kr), you got it at a fantastic price! Assuming it is not counterfeit or "hot" (stolen), what's there to "worry" about? If you wait for the Ryzen, you would have to spend a lot more because that would also require a different motherboard and possibly different RAM too.

 

[Crackong]

Nice, that's half the price of the k SKU

 

[Enterprise24]

9900K still cost $573 here with no sign of non-K version.

 

[Outback Bronze]

U think i need to worry when the new ryzen series launches

Nope, especially since you stole it : )

 

[Countryside]

Damn thats one big bang for a buck, conqrats

 

[Claptrap]

Wow,what a damn good price.Some one wrote that in the USA it costs 440,but checkmate,in Ukraine 9700 non k costs 440 dollars and i9 9900 isn't sold yet.Also one question,i have a b360 and i couldn't update to 9900k because of its "95 tdp",but non k has a "65w tdp",i think that would be enough for b360 but it is better to ask,people who bought it for b360 could you answear if it steadily works

@HaKN ! Is the stock Intel cooler an aluminium slug instead of copper slug?

 

[HaKN !]

@rootuser123 Its the s´hitty all aluminium cooler thats way to slim !

 

[Bill_Bright]

aluminium cooler thats way to slim !

While copper is certainly better, aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat too. So no doubt, your problem is the fact this particular aluminum cooler is too slim, suggesting the problem is the surface area of the fins and not the "slug" or the portion that makes actual contact with the CPU die.

Since obviously you cannot make the fins larger, you might be about to increase heat transfer by using a fan that moves more air. But it would probably just be easier to replace the whole HSF assembly.

Which Metals Conduct Heat The Best?

Common metals ranked by thermal conductivity
Rank	Metal	Thermal Conductivity [BTU/(hr·ft⋅°F)]
1	Copper	223
2	Aluminum	118
3	Brass	64
4	Steel	17
5	Bronze	15

Copper conducts heat almost twice as fast as aluminum. It's more expensive though.

[Bill_Bright]

It is more about twice as much heat, not twice as fast. Copper can move almost twice as much heat in the same amount of time as aluminum. But that is not to say aluminum is a poor conductor.

The F-15 can travel 1,656 miles in 1 hour while the F-35 can "only" go 1,199 in the same amount of time. But I would not turn down a ride in either!
