Intel Core i9-9900KF R0 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket 1151 - boxed [BX80684I99900KFS RG1A]

In addition to a modified model series, one of the biggest novelties is the fact that the CPUs with a free multiplier now have a soldered heatspreader (IHS) donated. As a result, the waste heat can be dissipated more efficiently by the CPU, which means that higher clock rates can be achieved over a longer period of time.

The Intel Core i9-9900KF R0 is the new top-of-the-line Core 9000 series and features eight cores with Hyper-Threading (SMT), so it can run up to 16 threads simultaneously. The enthusiast CPU can also convince with increased clock rates and optimized boost functions compared to its predecessors. The TDP of the Achtkerners is only 95 watts. The processor is compatible with the 300 Series Socket 1151 motherboards.

Only with motherboards with Intel chipset of the 300 series with BIOS update for the new R0 stepping compatible!

The Intel Core i9-9900KF R0 (Boxed) at a glance:
- 8 physical cores, 16 logical cores thanks to SMT!
- 3.6 GHz base clock at 95 watts TDP
- 4.7 GHz boost clock on all cores
- 5.0 GHz boost clock single-core
- Free multiplier for overclocking (OC)
- 16 megabytes L3 cache
- Support for DDR4-2.666 (Dual Channel)
- F-Series without integrated graphics unit
- Boxed version of the processor without CPU cooler!

The Intel Core i9-9900KF R0: eight-core processor with Hyper-Threading
With a base clock of 3.6 GHz, the Core i9-9900K R0 offers a high clock rate, which can automatically increase as needed for more power. The corresponding Turbo Boost function clocks the processor cores according to the required power. For example, depending on the application or game requirements, the boost increases either a core up to 5.0GHz or all cores up to 4.7GHz. As a processor with a free multiplier, the Intel Core i9-9900KF R0 can also be freely overclocked.

The processor supports a maximum standard clock of 2,666 MHz for DDR4 memory and the CPU supports dual-channel mode. Depending on the motherboard, overclocking can also be used with RAM kits with much higher clock rates. Intel continues to use the LGA 1151 (v2) as the socket, making the ninth-generation processors compatible with the 300-series chipsets. For motherboards with Z370, H370 or B360 chipset, a BIOS update may be necessary!

Watch out!

This is a boxed version of the processor without CPU cooler!

The Intel Core i9-9900KF R0 can reach temperatures that can exceed the specified TDP of 95 watts. Especially when the AVX512 command set is activated, this TDP is clearly exceeded. It is strongly recommended that you use at least one all-in-one water cooling system with a 240mm radiator or a large tower-style CPU cooler.
