control mechanical shutters, filter wheel, X-ray tube, high voltage, etc). The Python code I am working on is multi-threaded (e.g. Like I said, even the 6 core i5s are fine, most newer games don't seem to scale well past 6 cores, only really need more for a bit better 1% lows or streaming and other multithreaded workloads, or just because you can afford them and moar threads moar better. And the 8086K is just a better binned 8700K so once they're both overclocked the 9700K would likely win out by a teeny bit. If you can't confirm the CPU works and would let it go cheap, I just bought one of the Classified boards so I'd defo be interested if you don't wanna keep it.Īnd yeah, the 9700K beats the 8700K by a bit IIRC, even without hyper threading. I was thinking of just selling the CPU locally, or here on LTT Classifieds, to get some money back. I'll definitely have a look at the B-stock boards too! The local Memory Express store opened up not too long ago, and they don't have an extra X99 set-up they can use to test.

I still need to confirm whether or not the CPU is good.that's the thing. The CPU is an i7-6800K - Broadwell-E architecture, so it will be a nice bump in performance. Thanks, I'll have a look into that board - from what I know, a lot of Z390 board were lacking in the VRM department (I'm looking at your ASUS). $10 difference between the two $519 for the 8086K vs $529 for the 9700K. Heck, even an i5 9600K would be fine, my older 8600K at 5GHz kept up with a 1080 Ti or SLI 1080s at 1080p, 1440, and 4K easily.Īlso what X99 CPU did you have? And did you know EVGA has the Classified X99 B-Stock boards for $99 right now? You could just grab one of those if the CPU is still good. 9900K is really expensive and doesn't make much of a difference in gaming. I'd go for the i7 9700K and Gigabyte Aorus Master, should be a great combo.

I thought about going with the X299 platform, but it might be too steep in price. I am deciding on which CPU to get: i7-8086K, i7-9700K, or i9-9900K, paired with a motherboard that is comparable to the X99 Deluxe II in features, and overclocking capability (e.g. fingers crossed, hoping my 32GB of DDR4 RAM is still alive.įor that reason, I am prepared to get a new CPU + Motherboard if things turns for the worst. I had recently found out the PSU on my X99 system gave out, and probably took out the poor ASUS X99 Deluxe II motherboard with it.
