For most tasks the much cheaper R5 2600 and a B450 board would do fine and for not much more you can get an X570 board and a ryzen 3000 series chip which for a start the 3700x is over £100 cheaper than the 9900K, the R9 3900X which demolishes the 9900K in productivity is the same price once you factor in the cooler you have to buy for the 9900K and all down the stack AMD is the cheaper and better option.
AMD is brought up because very few people should actually buy intel chips at the current time. It's not great, you could get a lot more for not much more investment. And I don't know why anyone would bring AMD processors into a Z390 motherboard discussion.Z370 boards are also cheaper and not advised for the higher end chips like the 9900K.īecause the only thing you can put into a Z390 board is a 8th or 9th gen intel CPU. Literally the only reason to buy an intel platform now is the Adobe suite to use the iGPU for rendering and 240Hz gaming because in everything else AMD has either caught or exceeded intel at a lower price.Ĭrashman said:What's still available for Z370? The Z390 is basically Z370 with integrated USB3 Gen2. Or you could get a 3600 with for less than the 9600K with a board for the same price for the set and have features like PCIE 4. You can get a 6c/12t R5 for just over half the price with a b450 board that goes for under 100. It was supposed to have been a June review but X570 coverage started before I got around to writing this review's conclusion.Or you could just get a Z370 board? Also why would ANYONE buy the 9600k? It's a 6c Chip with no HT. We procured this in May as an alternative to the Gaming SLI, which was cut from US distribution shortly after being awarded. Not a year old in review options, it wasn't available to us until November. And what else would you use with any current, unlocked Intel 1151 processor? Testing with the heavy power load of the 9900K is just overkill enough to assure you that you can do anything you wish with the 9600k.
