December 15, 20187 yr Currently using a 7740X on a x299 gaming 9 board, looking for an upgrade. Thinking about a 9900X, is that a good choice? what would you guys get?
December 15, 20187 yr I just rebuilt my sim rig on a Z390 motherboard with a 6-core i7-8086K (the 8086K is a top-binned 8700K). Very happy with it--it easily overclocked to 5.3Ghz with a custom water loop and without need to delid the CPU to keep temps below 80 deg C even on a stress test. The i9-9900X looks to be a solid performer--but you will need a very high-end cooling system and a motherboard with stout voltage regulation to pull off a 5GHz+ overclock on the 9900K.

December 15, 20187 yr Author Cool, Im not looking to overclock, my 7740x is doing good with a D15 cooler. I was looking at the 9900X or the 9920X but not sure which would be best for my needs. I fly P3Dv4.4, DCS and play around with Arma3, so I'm looking for the best of the best for my needs but really not sure which way to go and I really don't want to change my motherboard which has a 2066 socket.
December 15, 20187 yr I would wait for Sunny Cove in 2019. The products on the market today offer good performance, but Sunny Cove stands to offer significantly more (for the same price). https://www.anandtech.com/show/13699/intel-architecture-day-2018-core-future-hybrid-x86/2

Unfortunately we don’t have enough information." Where did you get your information about pricing?
