Hello all,

I plan to upgrade my CPU and RAM soon, but I want to keep my motherboard (see current specs image below)

 

I'm thinking I will get an i5-9600K to replace the 6600k.

I also want to go for 32GB RAM, and I think I will gor for 2100 or 2400 Hz RAM

 

I have some questions:

1. Is the 9600K compatable with my existing motherboard

2. Is there any point in going with RAM that's fater than 2100Hz? Although my existing RAM is badged for 3000, I know that without using an XMP profile It's only going to run at 2100 anyway.. so would I be better or with 32GB of 2100 speed RAM?

 

My existing specs for the relevant components are:

No.

I prefer 32 GB of slower memory rather than 16 gb of a faster rating.

The motherboard/Z170 doesn't seem to support 9th gen CPU's

 

Asus CPU support.

 

I'm rolling a Z390 and 9600K faster RAM makes a difference for DCS especially in VR.

Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment.

Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

 

Currently rolling with a Asus Z390 Prime, 9600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, 2080Ti and Windows 10Pro, Rift CV1. bu0836x and Scratch Built Pedals, Collective and Cyclic.
