You can get a 6c/12t R5 for just over half the price with a b450 board that goes for under 100. It was supposed to have been a June review but X570 coverage started before I got around to writing this review's conclusion.Or you could just get a Z370 board? Also why would ANYONE buy the 9600k? It's a 6c Chip with no HT. We procured this in May as an alternative to the Gaming SLI, which was cut from US distribution shortly after being awarded. Not a year old in review options, it wasn't available to us until November. And what else would you use with any current, unlocked Intel 1151 processor?


Testing with the heavy power load of the 9900K is just overkill enough to assure you that you can do anything you wish with the 9600k.
