I'm on the fence between the 9900k on Z390 or X299 with a 7920X

I'd really like my CPU to sit around 5ghz on all cores. I know this is stock for the 9900k but is the 7920x or even 7900x capable of 5ghz on all cores without being delidded/liquid metal? It will be under a dedicated 360mm rad and EK waterblock.

    Disable HT in the Bios and you should have no issues running 5GHz on all the Cores.

    X299 struggles to get to the magic 5 GHz marker on all cores, but that may change with a refresh.
     
    I'd highly suggest waiting for the 9900K if you're dead set on having that option available to you.
     
    A de-lid is always the best way to reduce temps, though that won't be needed with Intel returning to a soldered interface ... at long last!

    Hi,
    I've seen nothing from Intel saying they will return to solder
    Some say thermal paste is better less of a silicon lottery dud with solder verses being able to delid 1-2-3 times if wanting/ needing too.
     
    x299 is sort of a waste of time really 5.0 is possible but at what costs already way over priced
    7900x is less of the four other evils but still depends on what you use it for and of course board will make or break you
    I had better luck with a cheap x299 tuf board than the crappy prime board I have now.
    Apex I suppose is best if you can live with 4 dimm slots.
    EVGA was way too late to release to be a choice for me anyway.

    My first build,
    Case 450D/ ASUS Sabertooth X99/ 5930k with EK mono block / Water loop EK 280p-GTX240 radiators with D5 pump res combo before rads and D5 top after / Trident-Z 3200C14 4x8gb/ EVGA 1000 P2/ EVGA 1080ti FTW3 with EK copper water block.
     
    2nd build,
    Case D450/ ASUS x299 Prime Deluxe/ i9-7900x delidded with EK mono block/ Trident-Z 3600C16 4x8gb/ Water loop EK-280p-GTX240 radiators with D5 pump-res combo before rads and D5 top after/ EVGA 1200 P2 / Titan Xp with EK water block.

    Hi,
    1000G2 might be a low ball psu
    Might be okay for a 7820 possibly a 7900x but anything over that might be best to go P2 series or newer platinum and 1200w

    For One Graphics Card a 1000 G+ is a good fit with any CPU on Air or Water.
    For Two Graphics Cards a 1200 G+ is a good Fit with any CPU on Air or Water.
    But the Best Fit is Two Power Supplies an 850 G+ for the Motherboard and Hardware and an 850 G+ for the 2 GPUs and a 1200 G+ for 3 GPUs.

    I don’t think a 1000w PSU is too little for a ten core and a single GPU... it probably won’t even hit 75% load, let alone 100%.

    1000w is plenty from experience. I used to run a Corsair 1000HX on 3 heavily overclocked 770 classifieds. I7 970 at 4.2ghz pulling around 300w for the chip alone. Also a good amount of hdds. Pulled around 750w from the wall at full load.

    Gonna have to strongly disagree with you Thrash.

    Also, to your last post about the solder. There's been a lot of information about the new Z390 chips being soldered. Intel calls this STIM. Unless, you were referring to X299 refresh, then yeah, I haven't seen ANY information about Basin Falls.

    What "X299 Refresh?

    Hi,
    skylake-x refresh is a rumor nothing creditable known about that
    And it "might" be focused at 9900-9700-9600 i9's but even that too is rumor Intel didn't solder 8086's did they
    Unlikely they will waste all of that pigeon poop they invested in
     
    All I'm saying is if one is building an expensive i9 build it's not wise to lowball on a psu 50-100.us for platinum series is just a drop in the bucket for something said to be the most important component in the case outside of the actual power coming out the wall plug :D

    I don't know where you're reading the 1000G3 is of low quality but ok. 80 Plus rating isn't the end all be all of PSU quality. 80 Plus is an efficiency rating, not a quality rating.

    Good enough for Johnny, good enough for me.

    There's been a few rumors of Skylake X refreshes coming in the fall along with the mainstream chip refreshes.
