The VYBE 9900KS Edition combines this monstrous processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, ASUS ROG Ryujin 360 RGB AiO CPU Liquid Cooler with color display that helps users keep temperatures low and all-white VYBE chassis.
Intel 9th Gen Core i9-9900KS Key Features:

  • Seamless 4K Gaming: Up to 35% more frames per second compared with a 3-year-old PC and up to 17% faster 4K video editing compared with the previous generation and up to 78% faster compared with a 3-year-old PC
  • A Streamer's Dream: Up to 27% faster mega-tasking when you simultaneously game, stream, and record compared with a 3-year-old PC
  • Still room for more power: Overclock confidently with new and enhanced features like Intel Performance Maximizer, which makes it easy to dynamically and reliably custom-tune the unlocked processor based on the processor's individual performance DNA

Looks like an H510 clone... so probably minor ventilation openings on the back side panel. Or maybe on the bottom.

You might as well stop right there....unless you just have a buttload of cash to burn, or are just stupido & don't care about how much cheaper you could build this for yourself...

Interesting that they don't mention the mobo, drive or other items & their specs.....that alone makes me suspicious about just how bad they will be rippin people off with this air-starved, same ole same same monstrosity. :shadedshu: :cry: :eek: :kookoo:

I'd hate to be an employee of Intel's desktop marketing squad right now, getting paid to crank out things like "megatasking" and "5.0GHz means 5.0GHz".

You know, while it is probably a smart strategy for Intel to target owners of Skylake and Kaby, it feels so weird to read through an entire PR statement that consists entirely of "compared to a 3-year-old" PC. Maybe it's the context of the current position of Coffee Lake in Q4 2019, I dunno. This is my second time reading this regurgitated 9900KS PR.

While the performance is definitely still solid, I just can't shake the comparison in my mind to the likes of Pentium XE 965 and FX-9590. Thermally, it's already there. :laugh:

I think it's actually double-regurgitation. "Megatasking" was a term they used, get this... around 3 years ago now. :rolleyes:
