9800X?

[xreaperx22]

ok so i been looking forever trying to find any good reviews of the 9800X and came up empty,does anyone know of any i can take a look at? im putting together an x299 build and wanted to use the 9800X mainly cuz its the cheapest lol,im actually putting together a few pc's  like 1 z390, 1 x299 and 1 x570,so i need to know if the 9800X will be worthy of Asus ROG Rampage VI extreme Omega i got just for that particular build.

if you use reviews of the 7800X it's the same thing. The 7800X is also a lot cheaper, which makes it a much better value.

 

Of course, they're both extremely terrible value, they're only 6 cores, and they get their asses handed to them by the Ryzen 5 3600 handily. Not to mention, the cheapest X299 board is $189, which can buy you a really good X570 motherboard.

The i7 9800X is the 8c/16t part, which is the i7 7820X rebrand with soldered IHS rather.

 

It's inferior to the i9 9900K in every way and yeah from a value perspective it makes no sense in a world with the R7 3700X.

 

OP are you making these desktops just for fun? if you don't mind wasting money then nothing wrong here but if you're trying to make something senseful x299 is incredibly hard to justify.

The 9800X is a 7820X rebrand. It's also laughably slow for the price.The 3700X is vastly superior.

If you dont use at least the 16 core in it, you're wasting this flagship board (even worse than leaving the CPU to run stock settings @Queen Chrysallis). I'm serious.

ok so which cpu should i go for on the x299 system? and yeah these are for fun and for my collection,i already have a plan for a great x570 build with the 3700x and i will also have the 9900k in a build,im just now doing the x299 build and im unfamiliar with that chipset.

in that case sell the omega board and use the money for a Ryzen 7 3700X, the $585 price tag for 8 cores is ludicrous. I could build a whole PC for that much money and the CPU would not be far behind that CPU's performance.

 

If you really want the info, check out 7820X reviews. Same boost clock, same core count.

you need to read my posts man.

you can have the relevant info in the original post then, "I already have a Ryzen PC and want to build just cuz." you also replied while I was typing so I didn't see it.

 

And I also did answer your original question about reviews anyway.

right i should have made it more clear my bad on that

[xreaperx22]

i may just pony up and get the 9980XE for that board but would i be better off getting the 7980XE instead? i dont think its any cheaper really tho.

I'd rather invest my money on one single high end build than multiple mid-range ones if you ask me.

 

Like ditch the 3700X plans and with its money just grab the Core i9-9990XE.

 

Because sincerely I don't understand the reasoning in putting multiple desktops just for the sake of "collection", you make a desktop to serve whatever you need it to do.

i didnt know there was a 9990XE ill have to look into that.And also they will all have there own functions,the x299 will be a video editor station the 9900k will be my gamer,,and i think your right about the 3700x i think ill ditch that all together lol

[xreaperx22]

also that 9990XE is auction only so i doubt ill be able to get one of those

whats wrong with being a fan? it funny how a person can go to a forum and ask about a certain thing,then everyone hates on either the product in question or the person themselves,,i asked about a review and instead i got suggestions of other products and or what to do with my money other than what i want....funny indeed

The biggest and the baddest CPU you can afford. Screw the collection idea, none of them are worth collecting anyway. Even the quad core Kaby Lake-X on X299 is worth more from a collection standpoint (tho your board cant run them)

[Melodist]

I feel like you can get better OC results with the 7820x than with the 9800x, even though it comes with a higher clock out of the box. Not to mention it gets hot as hell. If you think the 9900k is hot, then forget about the x299 platform my friend. If you really need more horse power than the 9900k, then Ryzen is for you, don't go with x299, it is terrible and was from the getgo. The only fine "enthusiast" platform was / is x99. If you want all the lanes then go with the 6950x and x99.

 

I've actually just switched from my 6900k on x99 to the 9900k on z390, was a very good choice. The reason I did this is because I need for audio applications better single core performance, even though my 6900k was beating all the x299 processors in single core performance at 4 GHz funnily (Ring mesh).

The 9990XE for almost $3000 and no warranty?  Well I mean I'd do it if I had stupid amounts of money, but it doesn't seem like the best choice. 

 

Any chance you'd fancy the soon to come 3950X?

that may actually be a better bet,any idea when they launch? cant wait for some decent reviews of it tho,dont have to be a great gamer but id like it to at least give around 100fps on 1440p tho i know that will mostly depend on the gpu,which wont be an issue for my 2080ti heck if i have to ill get another one for nvlink lol

Just FYI, I've heard that the 9980XE runs hot, I mean hot!

 

Edit - I had meant to ask this, but didn't wanna sound like an AMD fanboy (which I am, both CPU and GPU) but if you want 16C/32T, why not wait for the 3950X? I have the 3900X and it's smokin'......performance that is, not heat.

Oops, double post!

yeah i think i will wait for the 3950X,i never built an AMD pc so i cant say im a fanboy,however im beginning to like the way they come up with new stuff,i mean they are right now the only ones with pcie 4.0...not a huge deal but i like that they brought it out,very innovative in my opinion.So i may end up a "fanboy" whatever that is lol

[DogKnight]

If I was to look at any CPU to upgrade my 2066/x299 system it would be the 9940x. 14 cores and still a decent base clock. In Australia, it's still a $1k cheaper than the 9980XE. 

I built my x299 system in Feb 2018. And have been happy with the 7820x. 

 

I have to agree with others though. The prices are incredibly high and the value for money is not there. Unless there is something specific in the x299 chipset that you need, I would seriously consider other options. A high end Ryzen system will give you pretty much all the same functionality.
