User questions & answers

Question:	I have the ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING AMD Ryzen AM4 motherboard, can i pop this in and i am good to go? do i need a 2nd gen ryzen first to set bios
Answer:	As others, yes! However,using the 2700x for encodes is fast but not happy with temps with stock Wraith cooler, with all cores at 100%. CPU at 95.1C (Tctl) or 85.1C (Tdie), your choice. The stock fan has a down flow so was cooking MB, RAM and 970 Evo+ located right below the Wraith cooler. I changed out fan only for encodes, ymmv.
Question:	does it come with the cooler
Answer:	The cooler comes with thermal paste preaplied
Question:	Do you need a gpu
Answer:	There is nothing on the item to indicate where it came from.
Question:	Does the wraith cooler have thermal past on or do i have to manually put it on
Answer:	China

User questions & answers

Question:	How good is it for gaming
Answer:	Si señor, al igual puedes mirar la página del fabricante de la board y en especificaciones encuentras la lista de procesadores
Question:	Does this have hyperthreading
Answer:	It comes with a cooler, with thermal paste pre-applied. It also comes with an AMD Athlon sticker for your case, a certificate of authenticity, installation instructions for the CPU and cooler, and a slip of paper saying that the CPU is compatible with AM4 motherboards with a BIOS update.
Question:	Has anyone ordered this last week (Nov. 23-27) Delivery day is today, but have yet to be shipped, label created though
Answer:	Yes, I was emailed a code from Amazon with instructions about redemption after the shipping label was created.
Question:	So this 9900k with new packaging is still a 9900k correct? the 9900kf is in the same box but their labels don't differentiate from what i've seen
Answer:	I received the code from Amazon about the same time I was notified that a shipping label was created (4 days after the order on release day). The product still did not actually "ship" until 4 days after the label was created.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why do they include a boost clock If you can't overclock it
Answer:	Because locked processors do boost up to the max boost frequency. Overclocking is completely different from boosting, which is what the unlocked chips are for. When you overclock you can set an all-core frequency equal to or greater than the max boost frequency. The max boost clock is usually only on one or two cores as well, it's not an all-core boost. The boosted speeds you personally see are also controlled by an algorithm and it's based on temperatures, power delivery, silicon lottery, etc, whereas with overclocking you manually control speeds and voltages.
Question:	can I use this with the prime z270-p 5X protection 3 motherboard
Answer:	Z270 chipset is 200 series. This CPU requires a motherboard with 400 series chipset, and I believe the required CPU socket is also different.
Question:	does this model have onboard graphics
Answer:	Yes it does. Intel UHD Graphics 630
Question:	Is this worth the upgrade from an i5 9400, or is it a minimal pointless upgrade
Answer:	It's about 30-40% faster in applications or tasks that actually utilize hyperthreading well. Otherwise it's only 15-20% faster overall. Whether that's worth the cost of a new motherboard and this CPU, that's up to you.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the max overclock for this cpu but with the stock cooler
Answer:	My opinion is that stock coolers are for stock settings. Do yourself a favor and spend a little for a better cooler if you plan on overclocking. I would personally purchase a CoolerMaster 212 for $30 bucks if I were to overclock the 2600.
Question:	Will this work with https://www.amazon.com/msi-z370-gaming-pro-carbon/dp/b075gvjggp/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=utf8&qid=1529893942&sr=1-1&keywords=ms
Answer:	No... you want the x370 for amd. z370 is intel
Question:	does the cooler that comes with the processor also come with thermal paste
Answer:	I don't have this exact processor, but I've installed 3 Ryzen processors with similar heat sinks and they all came with generously applied thermal paste that looks high quality (Artic Silver like). It is not a crappy almost rubber type thermal pad. You won't need to replace it unless you really messed up.
Question:	Which motherboard can I get to use this cpu without upgrade the bios
Answer:	I just built a PC with the ASUS TUFF B450-Plus gaming Motherboard and everything worked right out of the box without updating the BIOS. I used the Ryzen 5 2600 Processer also.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with integrated graphics
Answer:	ordered dec 11, it's dec 18, expected delivery 28, paid for shipping but no update.
Question:	Does it come with a fan
Answer:	Yes, a 9900K is a 9900K. The cool packaging is gone because the 9900K is no longer the most awesomeness chip and has been replaced with an even more awesome chip. The packaging was kind of cool to look at, but in reality is was very much a gimmick and pain to open.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use this with my navida geforce 2080 super
Answer:	In all likelihood this CPU was made at a fabrication plant in the US, then assembly and testing was done in Vietnam. Intel does have a fabrication plant in China, but it does not produce CPUs.
Question:	Does this come with a heatsink for a water cooler
Answer:	The silicon may have worse quality on the i9-10850K than the i9-10900K, therefore if you want to overclock at or past 5GHz, it may require more core voltage than required on the i9-10900K
Question:	como viene este procesador? viene en caja o es diferente a los otros, es que la imagen es demasiado fea

User questions & answers

Question:	i have a ryzen 7 2700x can i use my wraith prism cooler from that to this one
Answer:	It will come with pre-applied paste on the bottom of the heatsink/Wraith Spire Cooler.
Question:	I need 105w to run this
Answer:	If you only run in standard VGA mode (640 x 480, 16 colours) you should JUST about get away with running notepad, provided you don't type too fast. As Max already mentioned, best stick with the bitmapped system font though - trying to render high resolution truetype fonts in real-time would be expecting a bit much!
Question:	Why does this cost more than the version that comes with a cooler
Answer:	It all depends on the graphics card you pair with this CPU, but it can handle that game without any issues. Just get a decent video card that you can do your research on to figure out how to get 144+ frames, and you need a monitor that handles that amount, maybe a 144 or 165 Hz monitor.
Question:	How many GHz without overclocking (ie. stock
Answer:	using an AIO on a 7NM chip like this is overkill. It runs fine with it's stock cooler. but if you put on a GOOD aircooler or AIO, the Cpu will boost as high as its going to. Im running the Noctua D15. Keeps my 3800x overclocked to 4.4ghz all core, nice and cool.

Question:	Can ddr4-3333 memory be used with this core i7 9700? don't think the 9700 can be overclocked
Answer:	Someday they'll have stock... Maybe 2030 when i12 arrives. Not seriously, unless you work or play hard, you won't need another couple for at least 4 years
Question:	Does the Core i7-9700 have on board graphics? Thanks
Answer:	It runs notepad at 30fps max, you need to download st least 32 g or ddr1 ram
Question:	base is 3.0 ghz, how can i utilize the advertised 4.5 ghz
Answer:	If your current motherboard can support this processor, then I don't see why not.
Question:	Does this come with any kind of heatsink/ fan or do you have to get one separately
Answer:	No.... however any water cooler you'd buy would come with attatchments. This being the OEM tray version doesn't even come with a crappy intel stock heatsync.

User questions & answers

Question:	Product description says "discrete gpu required - no integrated graphics". i thought the i5-9400 had a gpu. am i incorrect? this is not a i5-9400f
Answer:	The chip I was shipped is an I5-9400 which has the 630GPU. I think that is a mistake in the description because the product title says it is a i5-9400 not an i5-9400f. With an "F" on the end, it would not have the graphics.
Question:	Can you still use another graphics card
Answer:	Yes you can use a graphics card. Just be sure to plug your monitor into the graphics card and not the motherboard.
Question:	Ad says "discrete gpu required. processor graphics - intel uhd graphics 630" which one is it
Answer:	I don’t know why both are listed. That is odd but I think this has uhd graphics. I do know that any intel processor with an “F” suffix needs discreet graphics. It saves some money on the cpu if you plan to use a graphics card anyway. The onboard graphics ports on the motherboard won’t work with an “F” processor though. This article tells what the designations are. It may be helpful. At least scroll down to the chart. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html

Question:	Can any one confirm that this thing is 499.99 and not 890 dollars this guy wants
Answer:	Yes, 499.00, way overpriced at 890 this guy wants , wait, be patient,
Question:	Is Intel done for
Answer:	One thing to keep in mind is that Intel's cores are more powerful per-core than AMD's cores, but AMD's cores work more efficiently and powerfully together than Intel's cores. So, in layman's terms, AMD is theoretically better for programs like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc. when stacked up against the Intel competition, every single time (2700x vs. i7-8700K has 9% better workstation performance, 3700x vs. i7-9700K has 18%, and the 3900x vs. i9-9900KF has 31%). Intel, however, in all benchmarks against AMD crushes on gaming and single-core performance. I don't think either company is going anywhere as long as each side plays their advantages correctly. I hope AMD actually draws more creatives into the PC scene because my AMD build is 45% more powerful than an iMac Pro base for $3000 less dollars. True, my monitor isn't 5K, but even then that would put me at thousands less if I bought a 5K monitor for my rig.
