thx bro, i ordered 4 matching pairs just bc chinese stuff tends to fail when shipped for 2-3 months to brazil (being kicked and smashed + poor packging + low quality). i like the result but i went with some pastel color fluid, qualit is good, but it creates a lot of grossness in the loop. i'll be going clear by the end of this month.

Colored /dark tubing is best as that prevents biological growth. Btw with your QDC pair, you can then make/buy a drop in loop filter which is a must have tool. Pic below is from a massive new build I did and that's all the gunk from the first fill up and flush, yuck.

Im hoping the second hand market is flooded by 9900k peeps ditching to AMD/new platform.
I have an i9-9900K here and was intrigued by Ryzen 3800X when it came out.
So I bought the Ryzen 3800X CPU, board, and RAM for it. But I just couldn't bring myself to sell the i9-9900K. It's pretty damn nice and it's a keeper.

Are we looking at the same charts? I see at max a 6 fps difference...you cant even notice that unless you actively switch between the two....
I mean if you play on low settings on 1080p or below, basically if are a "pro" high fps player in CSGO sure go intel.

But if you are a more mainstream? or average gamer, they tend to prefere high resolutions and all the settings cranked, meaning you wont benefit from that Intel cpu at all, you would just be buying an aged cpu in a new suit.


I'm not sure if you've seen the ones I've seen.

Gaming: Intel kills AMD.

AMD only wins in those workstation style benchmarks I don't care about.

But if you don't know - now ya know...

Buy ryzen 4000 this year and you're looking at the exact same thing the next time you want to upgrade. At least with the 1200 Socket and 10900k you have atleast 1 generation more of upgrades (rocket lake). Can't say that if you go 4000 series and x570 (it's EOL). AM4 will be replaced after this year.
Hmmm you are a bit handicapped i see. If you buy 4000 its because you are already on the platform. If you want 10900k you have to buy the platform. AM4 sure will be replaced after this year, just like 1200 in 2 years (wow access to rocket lake yet another 5 year old orverpriced architecture). Atleast am4 lasted 4 years or 5?

Boring.

Are an adult that just plays games all day?

Working? got a woman? somethings are more important than getting 10 extra fps at 1080p while using 200watts of power.

go ahead then, link those that you have seen where it "kills" AMD

There won't any proof its the typical fan boy post void of any reasoning or logic.

Thanks for the drama.

When Intel launched Sandy Bridge while AMD was struggling with their outdated CPU's, now that was a KILL if anything. Or Intel in 2006. This is nothing compared to that.

A reminder of how much AMD is getting killed during the last year:
