If anyone was hoping they could get one of the lower core count X299 CPUs and avoid the inferno, think again.
>Cooling: custom water (420 rad in push pull)

>24/7 stable: 4.8ghz @ 1.275v (avg temp stress low 70s)
>Safest: 4.6ghz @ 1.2v (avg temp stress high 50s)
For reference, this is what a 420mm rad looks like. Holds 3x 140mm fans. And this is with a custom loop.

why would buy 6core if you spend 500$+ dollar on cooling alone? Add in all the components and going from 400 to 600$ and actually getting an 8core, you wont even feel a difference in your budged.

The problem starts when someone is dumb enough to buy into X299 in the first place.

expensive as fuck platform, literally cpu's are like the least expensive thing in that shit.
Low end cpu 400$
Low end mobo 300$
Low end rams kit 300$
low end cooling 150$
Low end psu 150$
Case 100$
Srsly thats 1400$ for a low end x299 system without gpu wtf
>>61203829
maybe because x299 is a high end platform in itself?
But still intel is pulling maximum jew on this
>>61203837
ye sure, but honestly if you need workhorse pc, just get 1700 pc for half the price, and it will perform just as good as high end low end 6core.
Anyone building these expensive systems are just honestly intel fanboys and are just wasting money

What do you expect from a board infested full of /v/ faggots?
>>61200523
Is this all just the result of Intel not using solder under their lid? Or is it simply just the result of or power consumption? How is this shit even acceptable? Does Intel seriously think anyone is going to buy into this garbage?
On a side note, my buddy just picked up an i7-5960X for $210, so there's that I can suppose.

yes, the heat doesn't go fast enough from the chip to the lid, so any kind of cooling will have sub optimal performance
