    This was what I was originally going to get for my new build. But I decided to go with a small-midtower case. And with the amount of power draw this thing uses (when boosting), the heat would have just been too much to keep up with. It would have been watercooled, but because of that, it means my VRM's wouldn't have any active cooling from a CPU fan setup. And with the amount of power this thing draws, I'd have a toasty case. So I went with the i7 instead. And I believe the only difference in core count is the i9 has 4 more efficiency cores over the i7. Meh...
