Thankfully there weren’t too many issues, but once owners of Intel’s 18-core CPU began to delid it, pushing frequencies and power draw through the roof, even the likes of the Rampage VI Extreme weren’t equipped to deal with this kind scenario, at least not in a purely air-cooled environment.

Intel’s Core i9-9900KF lacks integrated graphics, but includes all of the other features you get from Core i9-9900K, including eight cores, high frequencies, and a solder-based thermal interface material for improving cooling performance. Like its counterpart, the Core i9-9990KF is the fastest mainstream processor on the market. But unless it lands on shelves at a significant discount, you’re better off waiting for the -9900K to enjoy better availability.

Aesthetically. the board is pleasing to the eye; a good layout with easy to reach areas making installation of components simple. The included M.2 heat spreader is welcome for dual graphics card setups as the heat from the second lower card will cause some heat issues for the NVMe drive.

The B360 Phantom Gaming 4 is pretty loaded for a motherboard around the $100 mark. Intel NICs cost a pretty penny, and the ASMedia ASM3142 USB 3.1 (10Gbps) controller isn’t cheap either, neither is the ALC1200.
