Whats your pc?

[TeamHavocRacing]

Hmmmm. I hadn't said I'd ordered it yet. WTF?

[Pumaxcs]

By the looks of that parts list, you won't be ordering it soon lol

[TeamHavocRacing]

All of it is Oscar Mike. THe RAM will be here in a month and 10 days. Everything else by the end of this week and one item at the end of the month. Still need to get a 144hz monitor too.

Nice! I was trying to get a gt1030 for an old PC I have and Newegg was completely picked clean. Literally everything over a 710 was out of stock.

My current setup is so pathetic that I'm running Win7 on an i5-2310 with a generic mobo and 8GB RAM on an old Samsung 4K tv. It's a 1x PCI mobo running a GTX 1060 6GB that is 2x or 3x lol. I'll get a benchmark for both when my RAM finally gets here in almost a month and a half.

Sandy bridge Intel + a GTX 1060 is really not that bad even now.

Hope this helps to run a full gate!

Just picked up a binned i9 9900k for cheap. Scores in the 95th percentile at stock boost

But holy fuck does this thing get hot. Throttling in stress tests with a 240mm aio. Gunna have to get a 360mm!

[Hi Im Skyqe]

Delid it.

[motokid499]

Delid it.

Never done that, kinda worried I might screw it up. Any video walkthroughs you recommend?

Hand lapping the IHS also makes a difference.

[TeamHavocRacing]

I'm so glad I won't have to do that.

[Pumaxcs]

Yours has a 360mm cooler, otherwise, you probably would have lol

[DBRider251]

Just cool it with LN2

[TeamHavocRacing]

Yours has a 360mm cooler, otherwise, you probably would have lol

The bigger die on the 10900x with more space between cores is already an advantage. No delidding and prolly no more than 10% OC is my goal.
