This one’s been a long time coming! Off the back of the success of my 8700K build and overclocking videos, I got my hands on a brand new i9 9900K and Asus Maximus XI Hero Motherboard + RAM/etc to build a system for testing purposes.

In this video I take you through the build process in time lapse, and focus on the unboxing of the Motherboard and CPU specifically. We then take a look at the new features found in the BIOS of the Maximus XI. Finally, We do some quick stability testing and benchmark to see what I’m able to achieve with this setup.

 

My highly detailed overclocking video for the i9 9900K and Maximus XI Z390 range of motherboards is available here:
