Intel reveals Core i9-9900KS CPU that can hit 5GHz on all cores

Yes, me again. And why not, when you read something that sounds so strange.

My buddies machine is 5.2GHz - all cores - all day. Voltages unknown (to me).

Mine is -65mV undervolt from default.

I've never seen a CPU clock like this one...

Wasn´t refering to you ,was talking to m3ta but I know what you mean. 9th series CPUs are amazing, but people think they are like skylake, what can we do.
 
Funny that they still say the 9900k is a 95Watt processor meanwhile reality is that it draws closer to 150W out of the box from virtually every motherboard maker...

I am laughing at the fact that people overclock their i9 laptop, to game on...!
& then think of themselves as gaming...
 
Soooo, how many VRMs out there can actually supply the >150W this CPU will need? I suppose that realistically the target audience for this probable $700 chip already have an expensive MoBo which should have adequate VRMs to handle the load. Hee hee, my $85 Asrock *might* get this thing up to 4.7GHz all core!
With VRMs out there that can handle up to 18/19 phases at 20A per phase, you ain't seen nothing yet! ;) You'll probably have to upgrade your MB, though. ;) All hail the great Dog sIntel! :laughing:

Look at it this way, though! You'll be able to fry your morning eggs while reading your e-mail! :joy:
 
This is absolutely beautiful!

I don't even know how this is news.

Is there SOMEONE out there who's 9900K CANNOT run at 5.0GHz+ on all cores?

DO let me know.

I run 5.1GHz all day long. I found 5.2GHz was thermally throttling in some circumstances... but then, mine is in a LAPTOP....

I can't. Using Asus's built in 5ghz profile for this CPU killed it. I had to return the CPU and get another. Temps were fine, voltages weren't outrageous, but that CPU was done.
 
Will be interesting to see how the sales of these chips compare to the soon to be released AMD flagship (3900x).

Well, Sir, thank you for that information. This is a surprise to me. And sorry to hear it killed your rig.

Do you mind me asking, what was the GPU installed, and what was the power rating of the PSU attached to the machine? Finally, what were you doing when it keeled-over?

I ask only, as I have to run two PSUs (1x 330W & 1x 280W) for my level of performance...
 
Tried to ignore you the first time, but you continued.

You are crazy kid. Added to 'ignore' list.

The truth hurts so bad, that when you look at it, you understand how hypocritical you are. So ignore it, right?

We are talking about the nth % of high-end gaming and you are talking about laptops. How fast is your phone..?

Maybe you want to do a bit of research on high-end LAPTOP gaming? Cause there are TONS of people who do it... and spend a ton of money on these laptops to play games on the go... Maybe look at the Alienware brand? Or Asus... or MSI... or... hopefully you get it now?
 
This is lit, quite figuratively.

I can't begin to imagine how hot it would be, when i9-9900K is already a damn furnace.

exactly why I'm wondering if these are actually a really creme of the crop binned chips that do 5.0+ at lower voltages or just intel letting them run at whatever voltage needed for 5.0+ and letting the consumer deal with the heat. I've (and plenty of others) got decent 9900k running 5.0+ at a reasonable voltage for a "reasonable" temp for a 9900k. unless these can do like 5.2 5.3 at around 1.3v or less, what ***** in the world would pay extra on top of the already overpriced 9900k for a "special edition"?

Again... lol.
Because somehow, you have to play CS:Go on the subway..? Or at a café..?

Plz don't believe that is gaming, or top-end gaming (where you need an i9, etc). Because NOBODY in the world wants to sit in front of a 17" screen. Not a single person...!

Perfectly pegged by whatever CEO stated; a laptop is just a slower PC, with compromise. So I guess I shouldn't be laughing at you, but feel sad for you..?


Secondly, OC'ing a laptop... because you have an i9.. and are some uber mad-insane gamer dude... is again laughable on a bus. Lawyers buy Alienware because it goes with their rig at home.... & the ESP kiddies place gaming stickers on the laptops.

So now you’re just trolling... go check out benchmarks of high-end laptops doing almost as well as the best desktops... yes, they cost more - and you get the benefit of portability!

Go take a look at the Alienware “desktop replacement” laptops... they’re called that for a reason!

For north of $5,000 you can have a 9900, 2080, 64gb of RAM, and 2 tb of SSD...

Yes it’s pricy, but it can destroy pretty much any modern game - not just CS:Go...

No, it doesn’t make a ton of sense for the average consumer to buy one - but there ARE plenty who do...

I ask only, as I have to run two PSUs (1x 330W & 1x 280W) for my level of performance...

I was running an Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero motherboard, 2080ti Founder's Edition GPU, 32GB RAM 3200 CL14, and a 750w PSU. To overclock, I used one of the default built in overclocking profiles the motherboard offered for this exact CPU. BIOS was on the latest version as well, and the motherboard rated my cooler (Asus ROG RYUO 240) with a fairly good number. Asus motherboards are able to rate the cooling performance somehow.

The system was able to boot when set to the 5ghz profile. I started the FFXV benchmark (because what's the point of overclocking if not to run benchmarks?) and it started going through it. I have multiple monitors so I was watching temps and voltages during the benchmark on other screens and everything seemed to be within acceptable numbers. Nothing concerning. Suddenly BSOD and the system rebooted. I reset the bios to factory defaults and attempted to boot. From that point forward, the only way I could get into windows was if I forced the CPU to run at a slow speed (I think 4ghz?) across all cores. Anything higher and the system would endlessly fail to boot to anything and reboot. I tried literally everything you can think of before replacing the CPU. Reverted the bios, swapped ram, swapped motherboard, swapped power supply, attempted booting off different media, but ultimately the CPU swap is what fixed it.

Now I'm too scared to do any overclocking.

Looks like you simply lost the silicon lottery.... most chips don't have those issues... don't let that deter you though - your odds of two badly-binned CPUs can't be that high!
