Intel I-7 6900K

[LINUXXUNIL]

Good afternoon.

I have an opportunity to buy a 6900K for approx. $300.00 U.S.

Used for about 1 1/2 years.

Trustworthy source.

Should I but it? Yeah, or Nay.

Which leads to another question.

( I never really thought about.)

Does a CPU have an average life span.

Thanks.

do you have a source for a motherboard and DDR4 ram?

Is that in the US? because you can get an R7 1700 for $200 retail and it'll work fine on $100 new motherboards

 

Ryzen killed a lot of intel's former "value"

Yes...Already purchased an

Asus X99-E WS USB 3.1 along with the appropriate Quad channel Ram.

why not get a 8700k? it's way easier to get mobo's for. and it will perform about the same or even better in some tasks.

Depends on the workload. Cache advantage on the CPU as well as quad channel makes a good difference. Especially that quad channel.

Why buy an old X99 motherboard in the first place then ask about CPU recommendations..I'd still say sell the board and go for Ryzen lol. Easier to cool Ryzen as well.

I do streaming/recording/editing and it doesn't seem like quad channel has mattered for my 1950X
