INTEL CORE I9

[Gorge]

 I’m considering buying the Intel core i9-9900K

i have a i7-7700K. 

 Currently under full load I get about 66°C. Will this new CPU get hotter?  Is my air cooler good enough? 

Thanks!!

4c/8t is still plenty for today's AAA titles.  Have you bumped up the multiplier in the bios? 66 degrees isn't that hot. I'd save the money and upgrade on the next product cycle, Over $700 for a 15% bump in cpu performance doesn't make sense to me. You'd need a new motherboard as well to go with the i9.

Lol that's an experiment of "what happens if 7700k made twice the amount of heat?", because that's what the 9900k is and will do.

i think that cpu would get a fair bit hotter. you could probably run it with an air cooler i just wouldnt expect any overclocking. if you do get one i would consider undervolting it to lower temps more.

 

edit: i think it also depends on the cooler. im sure some massive air coolers could probably even overclock it but if your useing some shitty intel stock cooler its probably not going to work to well. what kind of cooler are you useing anyways?

Msi core frozer l with thermaltake Riing led fan high static pressure

Bad idea to get? Is it good?

Yep a nice Msi z390 gaming red and black one for $140 but is the prosseser good?

Also is my PSU good enough? 850 watt gold supernova g3 with RTX 2080

Seems like a perfect setup for running the 9900k at say 4.5-4.7GHz

Alright not too bad Is an 850 W power supply good enough though?  I care about longevity. I’m the kind of person who will put the maximum CPU performance on 95%  so the CPU will never exceed 95% and never turbo boost

850w is overkill, you can run 9900k at 1.35V (usually means 5GHz) and a 2080ti with room to spare.

 

If longevity is what you care then it's better to keep the 9900k run at stock 4.3GHz on all cores and slam the voltage as low as possible, that's a mid range board and a mid range air cooler.

I'm always suprised how people for example on  youtube make - "my 8k $ build" with i9-9900k and then they put a 120mm AIO liquid cooler to that.
