I've got an i7-9800X! Who wants benchmarks?

If that picture is blurry, you are doing something wrong.  Did you click on it?  BTW, that voltage in CPUz is reporting incorrectly.

Checked from desktop, looks fine now. What was your voltage settings?? You have the CPU I *was* going to buy before this one.

That 5GHz is at 1.4v.  I run it 24/7 at 4.8GHz @ 1.3v.  I am interested to see what you are going to be able to get out of your chip.

Static offset voltage? I'm using c-state overclocking, so my voltage can dip down to resting states when I'm not hammering it.

Not static...adaptive.

 Would be nice to see how the i7 9800X stacks up with the i9 9900K.

 

Personally speaking I'm not a fan of the chip as it's on a dead spot per se... the i9 9900K offer better performance at better pricing and if you need pci-e and quad channel memory only the TR 1920X gives that for much cheaper.

 

If you need both worlds the 10c/20t variants at least makes up for the loss of Ring Bus for Mesh.

Or, you could wait for Ryzen 3rd gen

Talking about alternatives present today, since OP already bought, say he could have bought something that doesn't exist isn't logical.

Fair enough, but since he already bought it it seems rather a moot point

If often is, but it still serves as a heads up to other people looking at the thread out of information whether they should or not invest on an i9 9800X so it's still valid.

 

Just like saying one at this point should be waiting for AMD 7nm processors, it's very valid, I just didn't mention it because liked I said I focused on what's on the market already.

Had I known the Vega was coming, instead of the usual incremental steps up that most of the manufacturers have been doing, I would have waited a few months and bought that.

Constructive comments are very welcome. Debate is reasonable. 

 

I chose the 9800X because I wanted a rig that could handle x2 M.2 drives, a full water block, quad channel memory (because it looks amazing, that's all), and it needed to be able to handle x2 1080 TIs in SLI. I also love overclocking, need something with fast enough cores to game supremely while also having enough cores to handle my rendering and production. And, well, I enjoy being overkill. 

 

Threadripper's 1900x almost got my purchase, but the single core performance is not good enough. Same for Ryzen. I almost got a 7th gen X processor, but the 9th gen came out a week before I was ready to buy. Didn't go with a 9900k because I wanted a quad channel memory setup, and I don't want my cards running on 8x/4x because of my M.2 drives. So I bought the 9800X. 

There’s plenty of lanes in the chipset for 2x M.2 drives, the chipset itself has 4 lanes to the CPU and unless you raid the M.2 (which would only get you transfer speed not latency improvement) it doesn’t matter too much especially if you don’t do thunderbolt/10GbE transfers.

 

I don’t think 4x is supported anymore for pascal anyways so as a precaution it is reasonable since it would be annoying if it was screwing with the cards. Right now I only have one M.2 and it doesn’t cause any issues on my Z270 board and diskmark performamce is within 0-10% of what I see it benchmarked on with proper pcie lanes.

 

Quad channel does look very cool especially when you have 8 dimms , those dummy dimms are such a genius product.

 

1900X is pretty eh. I looked at it as well early on But got it out of my head that I needed it. If 16vs8x made a huge deal I might have gone for it or if 3x/4x sli was a thing ..... Maybe.......

I make this point often, and often times OP might have good reasoning for their choice also many times you can indeed return things after the fact if you have a stark realization or something. Sometimes people read old threads and don’t realize hey 7800X now makes zero sense even if maybe it did year and half ago since it was a 50% thread boost over the 7700k......

 

Sometimes I think I’d be better off standing in front of microcenter like a Salvation Army Santa giving people advice there. They’re the ones that usually need it and while I’ve met good Mc employees they are supposed to sell and it is just a job XD.

 

The thing about the 9800X is that it’s approached price parity with the 9900k in the sense that they’re not far off each other so if you have some PCIE or memory concerns it’s not an upgrade/downgrade but something for a different purpose. It’s a fine choice for high res SLI (would be even better with 36 PCIe lanes but whatever intel has to be a little bit of troll no?)  where you need le speed but it’s not going to be the biggest limiting factor but stability is key too where lots of threads helps to some degree pushing Java updates away from the threads running battlefield or something.

 

 

[Swes]

Also I mean this is for a properly watercooled high end SLI build , some spending for the sake of looking cool may be afoot......

 

when I see a weird budget x299 where you have like a hyper 212 on a 7800x and a 1070ti and 4x 4gb dimms then I’m a little dubious about what exactly the goal was.......

67c on the package, 4.7 all core turbo, completed in 3:52.14

I know this thread is a bit old (and I'm new here so I might be messing up reviving an older post), but how much were you pushing voltage etc with that clock?  I'm looking at getting a 9800X if they ever come back in stock, wondering what I'm having to look forward to.  There's so little information/reviews out there about the 9800X or any other 9th-gen that isn't the highest end one.

 

I basically have every part for my build on the way, just need a CPU X_X
