Intel X6 i5-9600KF based system (5.00Ghz project)

[EarthDog]

on my results with the first CPU, perhaps I will go ahead and buy like 5 more in hopes of finding a unicorn.

or save time and likely money, and just get one off siliconlottery.com

U12A is better than D15.

But OP has made it clear he doesn't care about performance, only looks so why are we even bothering? More than 50% of the build doesn't make sense, RAM, CPU, mobo (at least he changed it), cooler, case... At what point do we stop flogging the dead horse of offering reasoned advice?

Right, because 5000Mhz on a six-core CPU, 4000Mhz on 16GB of memory and up to 500K IOPS in both read and write on my nvme SSD means this thing is going to be an absolute slug.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant logic you have there.

 

[dgianstefani]

Relative to other options for the same overall price it's terrible lmao.

I did a quick search on the site and they seem to have no binned 9600KFs...

 

[storm-chaser]

LOL of course, because everyone knows the 9900K has a far better cost/performance ratio than that of a 9600kf.

Try to do a little research first before you post again in ignorance.

What, so because I shut down your first argument you decide to move the goalposts?

smart move LOL

 

[dgianstefani]

"Shut down your argument" Lmao, this guy.
I'm not talking about the 9900k, and if you could read, you'd know that as I mentioned the 9700k. You should have ditched the $100 cooler that performs as well as a $50 cooler. Ditched the crap case that has bad airflow and is expensive. Bought 9700k instead.
That or build a Ryzen system.

Imagine building an upper mid range system in 2020 that has worse CPU performance than a 2 year old 8700k.
But sure, keep believing you have a great price/performance ratio with your crappy MSI cooler and a 970 Pro haha which is basically one of the worst Price/performance SSDs you can buy, although it is excellent (I have 2).

I sense you may be a little insecure about your purchase. And as many others have pointed out in strong arguments, it doesn't really make sense, your component selection.

But yeah, you're right and we're all wrong.

RX580, $200 memory that is no better than many $120-150 kits, a crappy motherboard. A $120 cooler that performs worse than a $40 cooler... Yeah, you have excellent taste.

Are you finished yet?

No, I was talking about the 9900k... genius. You obviously didn't get my drift.

And In regards to the 9700K, it's nearly double the cost of a 9600K for a CPU that performs the same up to 4x cores. You were saying something about an economical build?

And to make matters worse for yourself, you first make the outrageous claim that I'm not interested in performance, and when I prove you wrong you wrong there, you move the goalposts. Yeah, I'm sure that's going to help your credibility.

ps I already have the case, I've owned it for 10 years now... and the MSI RX580 was a birthday gift.

 

[dgianstefani]

If you were interested in performance you would spend $120 on a cooler that made sense.
Bought a CPU with more than 6 threads when every other platform including consoles is moving to 8+ as a minimum.
Save $50 from your RAM, $50 from your cooler choice (both without losing any performance at all), swapped the crappy mobo for one $30 less that has better performance (z370/90 extreme 4) and you've got $130 to upgrade to the 9700k.

Easy enough when it's spoonfed?

 

[storm-chaser]

You should have ditched the $100 cooler that performs as well as a $50 cooler.

Now are you finished? God, please say yes!

Does a 250 W TDP cooler with 8 heat pipes not classify as high performance in your world? LOL

Did I at any point in this thread ever say I wanted this to be purely an economical build? Again, do your research before you post again in ignorance.

You clearly didn't read all of this thread. If you had, you would have noticed I already pointed out the fact that I purchased the CPU cooler for aesthetics... this is very simple stuff, why are you having trouble wrapping your mind around this?

I hope you are happy with your 9900k or whatever. You needed it of course because you always have at least 6 cores pegged 24/7

Maybe you have a few too many instances of prime95 running in the background? LOL

 

[dgianstefani]

Pick one, aesthetics or price/performance.

You don't have both in this build.

Did I at any point in this thread ever say I wanted this to be purely an economical build? Again, do your research before you post again in ignorance.

price to performance ratio is hard to beat (best price/performance ratio of any Intel chip on the market, that's for sure).

When you can buy an air cooler with the same capacity and quieter fans for $70 (U12A/NHD15)

The one who needs to do research here ain't me bud.

How does it feel to know that a 9600K performs just as well as your 8700K for half the price?

 

[storm-chaser]

Again, ignorance abounds with you, you just can't shake it, can you?

 

[dgianstefani]

LMAO. Yes, your 5ghz 9600k with 6c and 6t performs "just as well" as my 8700k with 6c/12t at 5.2ghz... Keep dreaming.

 

[dgianstefani]

Cool how you keep throwing insults like "ignorant" without actually providing any details on how.

 

[dgianstefani]

Even if your choice mythically did perform "just as well" why would you buy that more than two years later? And you don't think the build is obsolete? OK bud.

 

[storm-chaser]

You didnt even answer the question!!! Do you or do you not consider a cooler with 8 heat pipes rated at 250W TDP "high performance"?

250W claimed TDP with 8 heatpipes that aren't very efficient. This isn't a good debate as by no means is this cooler high performance. High price yes but performance not so much. There are many better options widely available. At the price point many AIOs are available that look just as good, are quieter, and would perform much better

Again, do your research before you post again in ignorance.

Only difference you will see between the two is theoretical or in benchmarks... absolutely no difference in real-world performance.

I hope you got a good deal on your overpriced 8700K. However, now that you've delidded it, you've absolutely tanked its resale value.

It's considered a high-performance cooler based on the TDP.

Oh I see, cooling a CPU capable of 250 watts doesn't qualify as "high-performance"? LOL

You heard it here folks. Threads are only good for "theoretical" performance, there's absolutely no difference in "real-world" performance.

Remember kids, i7's are overpriced, but $200 16GB ram kits aren't, and the $120 "high performance" cooler is good value.

The Cryoig H7 is rated at 140W TDP and out performs your cooler which is rated 250W TDP

Do you not realize TDP numbers mean nothing if the cooler isn't designed to dissipate that heat properly.

 

[dgianstefani]

It's pointless, like I said earlier, reasoned advice with this guy is beating a dead horse. He's past that point.

 

[storm-chaser]

But OP has made it clear he doesn't care about performance

I just wanted to bring this to the attention of all members here again. This is the kind of flawed logic we are dealing with from this fellow.

And when I proved him wrong on that point, he changed the goalposts.

This is what you call being intellectually dishonest.
