Question 1

Is this compatible with my AsRock b365m pro4?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea, because the B365m chipsets are not for overclocking, and the main specialty of the 9900k, is overclocking.

Question 2

I see a few reviews of DOA or Dead after 3 or 4 months.  Do you honor those purchase with a replacement?  In what time frame would that be if you do?

Accepted Answer

The product information does not specify any warranty or replacement policy for DOA (Dead on Arrival) situations or time frames for replacements.

Question 3

It says no cooler device included.. does this mean "extra cooling components such as water cooling?".  It's been a while since I've installed a CPU so I need to know if I need to buy a separate heat sink or thermal paste?

Accepted Answer

yes you need to buy a heatsink/paste. there is no cooling solution in the box...just the CPU

Question 4

Does this have integrated graphics? I have all the parts I need other than the GPU and can't wait to build the PC.

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Intel Core i9-9900K has integrated graphics, specifically Intel UHD Graphics 630.

Question 5

I cannot view my Revit 3D file.  The software (Revit) says the requirements are  DirectX® 11 capable graphics card with Shader Model 5 and a minimum of 4GB of video memory

I don't know how to check my card to see if it meets these specs., but I have a Intel Core i9-9900K Coffe Lake 8-Core that says it has "Intel UHD Graphics 630"

Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

My motherboard is this one, the gigabyte Z390 aorus

GIGABYTE Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

What can I use to get my graphics working for this 3D file?

Accepted Answer

Buy a GPU. Your machine is running your CPU's integrated Graphics, which only supports DirectX 12.

Question 6

Is this CPU available without graphics?

Accepted Answer

It is available as the 9900KF version without graphics

Question 7

I have a GA-B250M-DS3H Mother board will this work with it?

Accepted Answer

Doubt this i9 will work since it requires a 300 series motherboard.

The Gigabyte web page says "Support for 7th and 6th generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors/ Intel® Core™ i5 processors/Intel® Core™ i3 processors/ Intel® Pentium® processors/Intel® Celeron® processors in the LGA1151 package." and this is a 9th generation Intel processor.

The CPU supported list for this motherboard specifies KabyLake and SkyLake processors while this is a more recent CoffeeLake processor.

Question 8

Hello All - Will this work with my MSI B360M Bazooka? Thanks for your time....

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will work with 300 series, socket 1151 motherboards.  You'll probably want a liquid cooler to go with it however, because the processor runs a bit on the hot side without proper cooling.
