I was thinking of 9950X3D mostly to get a better IMC bin (the 9800X3D's seem to be getting decent ones in general) but I got 4x 9950X's yesterday to sift through and see if I can get a belter. If I do, no 9950X3D for me.

But 699$ sounds about right. Wait for a few months and get a firecracker of a 9900X3D deal. Honestly 7900X3D went for ridiculous prices and I expect the same this time.

Now where's the tachyon ice or apex..

lol you got an inside contact at Canada Computers that will let you buy 4 of these test them keep the best one and return the rest?

Seem like alot of effort for minimal gains.

I did the same thing to get a 5800X that could do 2000 IF lol although that took a lot more than 4 but all of them went to good homes.

Funny enough once I got my Crosshair 8 hero and swapped it into that it could no longer do beyond 1900 regardless of what I tried it took a similar amount of 5950X as well all for a couple % :laugh:

Nah man i've been building these for more than 25 years now so I do have contacts here and there (not in CC though, wouldn't mind one lol) but refuse to do the 'test and return as new' thing. Never done it, it's not right.

I bought all 4 CPU's myself for relatively not much $. I'll keep the best one, put the other in the second PC and sell the other three rest as used. It's how it should be IMO.

As for minimal gains, yep they certainly are. But when you're knee deep into memory overclocking and have either an Apex or Tachyon coming up, having an IMC that can do 8200+ is sort of a necessity otherwise there's not much of a point getting those boards anyway. Wouldn't mind 2233 IF either, but the dual GMI links reduce frequencies by around 33mhz in the dual CCD configs so maybe 2.2. Let's see
