I'm getting a 3900X for longevity mainly. Just in case games a few years from now suddenly start thirsting for more threads.

Or maybe this is just my ancient 2600k deluding me into thinking another 6-8 year lasting system is realistic. :downs:

You guys who went for a 2500k over a 2600k 8 years ago, haven't you learned *anything*. 3900X or bust :q:

Have any reviews looked at undervolting offset at all, and how it interacts with PBO? Didn't find any mentions but still kind of curious.

I cleaned out my dads PC once because the fans were clogged with dust and it crashed from overheating. Sad. Disgusting sad.

Otoh thats the only time ive seen CPU temps suffer from old age... my 2600k went a happy 7 years with the same paste.

The secret really is in the brown color. Red for speed. Poop brown for silent wind.

Yeah makes sense, though still seems strange that the double ccx should make such a material difference unless youre looking at HF gaming. I mean i usually do frame limiting anyway for noise purposes.

But yeah seems prudent to go for an 9800X3D or whatever next time around like everyone else.
