Hi, i like your video, and I would like to know more about your rig, if u dont mind. 1) In my country your mobo(X99-QD4) cost 89,43 USD. How do u think, does it expensive? 2) Does mobo have VRM cooler fan? 3) What kind of ram do u use? Server RAM/Gaming RAM (with heatsink)/Non ECC RAM (ordinary RAM)?
Hi, does the mainboard in your country comes with a CPU/RAM or is it only the mainboard itself. - In the video, you are seeing the mobo, there is no fan installed. - This mainboard did use normal DDR4 RAM if i remember correctly.
While having a CPU with a lot of cores can be beneficial, it usually has a more significant impact on tasks that can utilize multiple cores, such as video editing, 3D rendering, or running multiple applications simultaneously. Most games are optimized to use a certain number of cores efficiently, usually between 4 to 8 cores. Beyond that, the performance gains from additional cores are minimal for most games. The GPU handles the bulk of the graphical processing and rendering, which is crucial for higher FPS in gaming. So basically if you want more "FPS", upgrade your GPU😉 If you really wanted to demiosotrade the capabilities of this CPU, you should ran taske intensive programs. Not games.

It won't if you OC. These CPUs have massive OC potential especially on newer titles (surprisingly). It's pretty risky though, and you risk frying your VRM as it requires you to pretty much disabled every safe guard on your motherboard.
