CPU Temperatures
Pushing either of the 10th generation of Intel CPUs to their overclocking limits runs into heat limitations more than silicon ones. Should you want to go chasing 5.5 GHz or above overclocks then you'll need a serious dedicated watercooling setup, as even our Corsair H150i hasn't quite got enough to really tame it all. Not that our overclock is exactly shabby, but pushing all the cores at these speeds all the time clearly brings the temperatures up higher than leaving the CPU to automatically boost as necessary.

Thanks very much for the written review Tom. I just read it all.
The 3900x dropped to £414 today with a cooler. Exactly what I guessed would happen. Prices on the 3950x haven't dropped at all, I kinda suspected that too.Quote

Glad to see the old 8700k is holding up well. 
But on a more serious note, at least until 4th gen Ryzen, that's pretty hard to beat for a gaming setup.
Binning and the stock situation of 10900k makes me think of it as a halo product with pretty scarce availability.Quote

I'm currently looking up ways that he can bolt those desks together to make it wobble less. Lol.Quote
My 3900X is 12 months old next month and that's Intel's great comeback is it?
It's my prediction the next gen of Ryzen will wallop the final nail in.
We just have to wait a few more months to see...Quote
