What Intel Cpu? (socket 1151)

[Roger01]

Hello!

 

I would like to change my i5 7600k (4.2Ghz O/C) with a 9x00 intel cpu (socket 1151).

 

But what cpu? i7 9700kf or i9 9900kf. Especially for VR.

 

300 to 400€

 

For DCS is it much better to get i9 or the i7 is enough?

 

The 9900kf seems to be a "hot" (in degree C°) cpu no?

 

My spec :

 

i5 7600k 4.2Ghz

32 DDR4 3200Mhz

1070ti

full ssd

 

(I'm waiting for new amd GPU to change the 1070ti)

 

Thanks!

i9 9900K is definitely much better choice than the i7 9700K, considering there's just 60 to 70 dollars difference now, at current prices (much lower than on launch).

Be sure your motherboard can support i9 9900K and that you have good cooler for it, it really needs to have good VRMs in Z390 motherboard and propper cooling, otherwise it'll just throtle down when things are pushed.

Thx, I have a z270 board and it seems that board can't support i9 without modified bios... :(

 

And for the i9 9900k , air cooling is enough? I read on google/forum that this proc heats up a lot. I have a be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 4

 

Thanks again.
