FYI 8600K 6 Cores, 6 Threads vs. 9900K 8 Cores, 16 Threads DOES make a difference

I had to buy a pre-built system to get my 3080 and it came with an i9 10850K. I would have been happy with an i7 or even a high core clock i5. So I tried running my system with HT off and, not only did it overclock higher and run cooler but doesn’t really affect gaming performance at all.
