so even if i go with the 2080ti go with the 3700x???

Yes. The 9900K is a space heater and power hungry. The extra heat and power it requires and generates are not worth the 4-5% performance increase. If you want to spend more money, look at a 3900X. Same price as a 9900K but absolutely murders it in multi threaded applications.

This makes absolutely 0 sense. Something was seriously wrong with your 8700K

 The 8086K is a rebranded 8700K with higher clocks. It's the exact same CPU. There has been absolutely no change

 200MHz for games is mostly meaningless. You can NOT go from horrible to great by adding 200MHz. That's not how the laws of physics, thermo dynamics or silicon work. Just because you had a bricked or messed up 8700K doesn't mean making others waste money on overpriced space heaters.

As I said it was fine with the GTX 1080 ti but I only had one sample so it may be faulty. When running Cinebench the results were average and it got through several hours of Prime95 with no problem at all.    

My i7 8700k was disappointing because it could not reach 5ghz with reasonable voltage. At the same voltage it ran at 4.8(1.433v) the i7 8086k that replaced it does 5.1ghz with less heat.

 

All I know is that my RTX 2080 ti did not like my i7 8700k, but it loves my i7 8086k.
