Looking for the cheapest possible i7/i9 8th or 9th gen CPU. Rather one that has not been overclocked or abused. If you have the stock cooler great. If no cooler not an issue.

PM sent

I now have 2 boards, not sure which is better MSI MPG Z690 Carbon and Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Ultra Originally I was planning to just use the MSI board, but had no ram, got lucky the other day and was able to get a combo deal on newegg and finally got some DDR5. Which board is better?

Thanks. that was one of my choices as well as the ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4

Which MB did you go with? I have my 12900K and AIO sitting here. Corsair just shipped my retrofit kit today, and I can decide which board to go with.

Finally got my i9-12900K delivered last night. looking to get the ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4 and CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE going with DDR4 based on all of the reviews that there really is no difference, but it the board i'm going with a good match for the i9?

Besbuy has them in stock. I just ordered one https://www.bestbuy.com/site/intel-core-i9-12900k-desktop-processor-16-8p-8e-cores-up-to-5-2-ghz-unlocked-lga1700-600-series-chipset-125w/6483663.p?skuId=6483663

Have a blue series 6 44mm that I just posted for sale on Facebook marketplace. send me a PM if interested

I think 10th gen is where i am going to end up, but any reason not to take the 10900K? also should I go with a Z590, or will there be no benefit since I'm not using an 11th gen?

I need a new CPU. Running an i7-2600K that was overclocked to 5GHz for a very long time, and now isn't stable at stock speeds for more than a day with no load. Can't decide if i should get a 10th/11th gen or wait for the 12th as I have a 3080 Ti sitting in a box to go into this new build

sent you a PM

morning bump

Got this for my son for a new PC build, but ended up going with an 11th gen i9 instead. It was never opened, and i'm past the return period. Looking for what i paid which is $400, and will include shipping in the US

worked perfectly. finally was able to get myself one last night. thanks

except it's not available in all locations, and it won't allow me to buy it
