I'm building a new system at the moment, mainly for gaming purposes, and I've got an ASUS ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II. What would be the best option CPU wise?
As for cooling, the CPU will have a 560MM Rad in push/pull to itself.
I've debated buying an i9-10980XE and disabling 8 cores, and then maybe trying to OC to 5.3 or something, simply because it's a higher binned chip. Would that be a good idea? I'm also considering delidding whatever CPU I decide to get and apply liquid metal.
I know the X299 platform is not ideal for gaming, seeing as all the CPU's on it run lower speeds, but I'm willing to do WHATEVER it takes to get the highest speed possible on it, Budget is not a factor.
Any ideas?
