    If you want to upgrade the CPU, get a 9400F and a B360 board throw in some RAM (16GB is basically enough, but get 1×16GB instead of 2×8GB) and you're finished. Btw, what's your GPU? It might be more of a bottleneck than the CPU itself

    This is not a "Why choose the 3700X over the 9900" thread, but a thread about intel engineering samples

    So, this question might have been asked very often, but I still haven't found an actual answer. Is it worth buying an engineering sample CPU off of ebay? I've seen a nice 9900@4.40GHz for 290$ with free shipping. (https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.de%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153792563829) Also, would the MSI Z390 Gaming Plus support this chip? I don't really plan on overclocking (I heard they OC better so I might try it), but I'll surely lock all cores to 4.40GHz in throttlestop. Now, by looking at performance, I know it's basically a 9900T eating up 65W instead of 35W, but it still costs less than a 9900T.
