    Still rocking my 8086K @5Ghz for over 6 years. Best CPU and most stable I’ve ever had, and I’ve been building pc’s since the 90’s (both AMD & Intel). Not willing to shell out for anything new unless this kind of stuff is verifiably fixed.

      my 9600kf was able to do 5ghz with 1.35v for the first year, and i’ve had to lower the clocks again and again as it gets unstable. it’s now only able to do 4.4ghz. recently upgraded to 7800x3d and i’m afraid to see how long this one lasts as it’s 5ghz stock and gets quite warm even in light use. performance is amazing though, realized my old cpu bottlenecked in many games.

        I think I’m going with the same processor for my newest build. Seems like a good one.

          it’s a good one. just dont’t get a gigabyte mobo. their bios is comically bad, and i found out that the same issues have continued for many generations…
