just like your future chinkcard

I am thinking of buying there(on tao), 9900k ES for 320$ am I retarded?

not really, depends on your local prices

let me upload es guide

@Marlen

@Droidbot thanks, for the guide. Could you recommend me forwarders, particular, for PC hardware from taobao?

My friends use superbuy, I don't buy PC shit too often from there

9900k costs 670$ where I live.

Holy lord

yeah

Coffee Lake and Coffee Lake R use the same microcode between ES and Final, and some are even final stepping

Br?

nah, Kazakhstan, lmao.

Just keep in mind that errata exists between ES and Final, so there may be some problems you won't observe on retail CPUs

Oh lel

Eg P0 stepping PCIE death

I see, probably better to buy 8700k es then.

though, I saw on tao 9900k+motherboard for 3200 yuan.

not ES

Errata exists with 8700k too, but I can't remember all the bugs and Intel docs don't list it

But as long as it is ES2, chips will be perfectly fine for daily use

If you are willing to get down and dirty with BIOS modding you could also pick up a cheap Xeon final, like 2246G

Need 100 series PCH (anything you can get) with management engine permanently neutered

it's 8700k's xeon version?

Effectively, no OC however

Colorful has good GPUs

Had one for a few years, nobissues and about to make a CS gaming computer

I have 1080ti right now, that I bought when I was in US in microcenter 2 years ago. Probably, will stay with it for a long time, until something arrives that can handle 8k 60fps, lol.

Lul, what CPU paired with it atm

4670k

Ayy same, looking into upgrading soon but can't find good cheap ITX options

Have 1070 paired with it, bad CPU bottleneck in eSports shit like Apex Legends and stutter in AAA like FH4

I’m gonna get a Ryzen for my new one, I just hate the inflated prices on GPUs because of MUH CRYPTO

yeah, 4 cores are not enough now.

@goobergopher best off buying cheap mining cards from Taobao or Aliex, prices hit the floor

$50USD RX470s

Etc

I am thinking to wait until PS5 arrives, and look after its specs, then buying something, actually. Maybe itself too(PS5).

More than enough for gaming at reasonable settings 1080p in AAA

@Droidbot I have a colorful gpu otw
