Yeah, for sure. I'm ROG/Corsair for PC stuff. CPU and such I choose Intel and Nvidia because it's what I'm used to. I'm all into good brands that have good products and support. That's why I love Shure and hate Lenovo and Skullcandy.

Yeah, I did that as soon as I realized that was an issue. Ok. I will test it out and update you all. I just assumed thermal throttling would do the trick. Whoops. Yeah, I will wait till I get my cooler.

Ok. How do I go about testing that?

Any way to test if I have already damaged it? Again, I've used it for several days. Besides the high temps, it seems fine

So, I'm a new PC builder, and I got my build setup, except for my CPU cooling, graphics card, & thermal paste. I've been running it for a few days with light use (just browsers, one attempt to run photoshop). Should I be concerned that I am damaging my CPU? I have my CPU cooler on the way, but I...

Alright, well taking that into consideration, I will probably just get the CPU now. I don't really want to get another mubo, I got a pretty nice deal for a good motherboard. Thanks for all the info.

I guess I will save up for the GPU first and leave my CPU purchase for last. Might be able to find salvage an i7 that could tide me over till the next gen

I've already committed to intel by buying my motherboard which only supports intel, but I am concerned that this virus will delay any new processors and that prices in the near future will only rise.

Alright, thank you. I will probably go for the 9900K... what is the difference between that and the 9900KF?

Hi all, I'm just looking to buy the last few parts for my new gaming rig, and I am trying to decide if I should cash out for the special edition i9-9900KS vs i9-9900K. I looked around and saw that the original retail for the i9-9900KS was originally very close to the i9-9900K , but now the...

Turns out I have a Corsair TX Series™ TX650 PSU lieing around, but I still want to get the 850. Will post pictures when I've finished the build. Thanks.

Also, will the PSU I picked be compatible with my motherboard? And should I expect the motherboard to fit in that case?
