Intel officially introduces its Core i9 9900KS Special Edition at $513

Honestly, price tag could have been worse. What are binned chips going for again?

Review of 9900KS

 

It's a three year warranty https://www.scan.co.uk/products/int...16-thread-40ghz-50ghz-all-core-turbo-16mb-gpu

Except a lot of ppl do.
Not everyone gets power for free or lives in countries with cheap power.
Not even talking about more power meaning more heat,
and not everyone living around the arctic circle..

 

In Norway it's 5 years return if broken, no matter the warranty

 

250W power consumption to sustain 5Ghz all core in demanding loads.

Anyone buying 9900K(S) at this point in time must be out of their freekin' minds.
Get 9700K for gaming (if you like Intel), or any cheaper Ryzen 3000 series and be done with it.

p.s.
That 1 yr warranty is coming straight from Joker himself
