Gigabyte suggest setting the 9900K TJ Max to 110c on their users motherboards.
gigabyte.com
The TJ Max on Intel's website is 100c
ark.intel.com
Some tech sites are reporting 115c+ causing it to throttle.
The Intel 9900K is a furnace waiting to burn your house to the ground unless you run one of Intel's approved water chillers on it.
>Faggots will still buy it in droves.
Lmao
Waiting for zen2 in 2019 and then updating, fuck Intel
delid
Meanwhile my 2700x chugging away happily at 4ghz+ on a D15 in Aussie summers
Tbqh I don't need anything more than what I have now il wait for 3nm or 5nm for a real upgrade
Mfw fucking Intel is gonna have security holes until 202x and new ones discovered all the time
So in order to get reasonable temperatures on the 9900k you have to:
>delid (even with their new "soldered" TIM)
>use liquid metal
>sand down and lap the die itself by at least 0.25 mm
>use custom water cooling
And even with all of that, it will STILL push 85+ C under load. Forget about housefires for a moment, won't these temperatures rapidly degrade the chip?
If you run it at 110c continuously it won't late very long for sure.
>won't last very long
but goy, it was made this way because it will last you long enough to make you buy the next gret cpu when it comes out, like in one year
Amen. 1700 oc to 4ghz no issue, doesnt break 60 degrees prime 95ing
No one is 'buying it in droves,' you faggot.
Everyone who who has a 7700K or 8700K won't upgrade. Anyone who doesn't, is waiting for Zen 2 next year.
Or you could just use it normally. 85c on Blender.
so basicly intel embraced the motto of nvidia?
>the more you buy(cause they gonna burn down) the more you save
SOMEBODY CALL 911
My fucking laptop hits 85c at 100%, that's not reasonable for a desktop.
It may not be reasonable, I know, but it's far more powerful than your laptop
Why is it so much hotter than the 8700k? 2 extra cores sure, but its soldered now no?
Made from pure gasoline atoms for excellent clock speed

The greatest thing about CFL-R was that they actually fixed Meltdown and L1TF, which were the only Spectre bugs specific to Intel.
No they didn't you fucking shill. Only AMD fixed them
AMD never had them in the first place. CFL-R did fix Meltdown and L1TF:
anandtech.com
it's soldered but they doubled the thickness of the silicon wafer so now it has to conduct heat through twice the distance in the die before it can be dissipated which is super extra bad
Firmware workarounds, not in hardware level fixes. It won't get fixed until Whiskeylake or whatever lake
What are you on about, user?
Never owned a desktop, but is the temperature really a big deal if it's not throttling or anything?
Only downside I can think of is if the temperature was causing it to fail. I thought desktops could handle higher temps anyway.
It is a pretty big deal if being able to overclock higher than the opposition is their last selling point and that's going away with zen2
>implying 85c in normal use is anywhere near acceptable
Hope you like the short lifespans on that thing. Also, hope you got a good AC for the summer.
Nobody cares about temperatures as long as it works.
And it works a lot better than what Intel's competition offers.
This. If you live in a hot place then ambient can easily end up at 30-35 degrees C. That's 10-15 degrees hotter than all the benchmarking was done in, so you'll have 95-100 degrees C on the processor.
Hell, if you live in a normally cold place, people don't necessarily bother with AC to cool down their home, because summers aren't typically that hot either. Consider Scandinavia or Canada, where people are more interested in winter heating, and so they buy a cheaper unit that only heats. In those cases, you might suddenly have a hot summer like this one in 2018, and ambient goes up to 30 or more.
>*NEW* Climate doesn't matter!
Lmao intel is still faster then oced poozen
Unless you're approaching actual 100° C (where the die will start taking physical damage), it's not a big deal in and of itself. However:
>Bad thermals limit overclocking performance, and consequently most people don't seem to have been able to overclock the 9900K very much at all.
>It implies that Intel has already clocked the chip right up to its thermal limits, and that there isn't much more in the process for future generations of chips, so unless they make 10 nm work soon, they'll have nowhere else to go.
>so unless they make 10 nm work soon

When you absolutely, positively need your CPU and motherboard VRMs to burn into a puddle of slag.
>Using Intel CoreTM i9-9900K is contributing to global warming
this , also the new sTIM quality is questionable
