Need Help on Motherboard for Intel 9th Generation CPU

[devilgamer]

I am planning to buy an Intel i5 9600K but for 9th gen z390 mobos are available but i am not gonna OC my cpu so dont actually need a Z390 and for this i have planned to buy an Asus ROG Strix B360 F mobo and update its bios for the 9th gen. Now if anyone has done this or have any information regarding this i just need something to know. PLEASE REPLY IF YOU CAN HELP.

Thank You.

N.B# 1) Dont suggest Ryzen.
2) No Z390 as its expensive and i wont OC.
3) Going for 9600K as no non K i7 is available and 8700 is stock out or too much expensive.

You can consider second hand 8700k. People are selling theirs for 32-35k.

You should also check if a B360 can run a 9600K properly. Older boards work but for the 9900K, the VRMs were too weak. Not sure if the same applies for 9600K as well.

There is no point in buying a 9th gen unlocked SKU if you don't plan on overclocking it. Furthermore, using such a CPU on a Potato motherboard like the B360F could end up reducing the lifespan of the motherboard real quickly not to mention that motherboard will be unable to extract the full performance of the CPU. Consider going for something like the Core i7 8700 or the locked 9th Gen SKU when they arrive.

Contradictory, don't you think?

Strange, I could've sworn I pasted a link to a FB group.

would love to buy an 8700 even second hand but cant find one and afaik 8th and 9th gen both are of same chip set then how i could be a problem 9900k is too powerful for b360 but 8600k and 9600k both are similar

going for 9th gen as 8th gen i7 is not available in the market and planned to buy an unlocked cpu coz non K 9th gen not available atm and B360 F can handle an 8600K without any problem and 9600K and 8600K are same cpu so how can it be problematic?? my actual plan was to buy an 8700 but out of stock so planned to buy a 9600k

HOW??

HOW??

You have stated that you're not gonna overclock. K-series processors are unlocked and can be overclocked that's why a premium needs to be paid. Go for a non-K cpu and pour the money saved elsewhere on ur system.

call them directly. most cpus' are overpriced right now but in stock i guess.

also if you are buying 9600k but won't oc why don't you buy locked 8th gen cpu like 8400, 8500 with decent b series motherboard?

Do you guys think it’s worth upgrading from 6700K ?
My pc usages are fairly limited to gaming and browsing and excel.

Yeah, you should upgrade to 9900k, gaming is okay but using excel and browsing is not enough for 6700k!!

cant figure if this is a srs question or not

My advice is that as long as ur cpu is not bottlenecking ur gpu in any way, there's no plausible explanation to upgrade

Have patience and wait for 9th gen non-K. It's always better to get the best available tech if one can afford it since these types of things are like one-time investments to be serving you for years.

Guys I think your efforts are better directed elsewhere. Any guy who wants to buy an unlocked SKU with a locked potato motherboard and even wants to spend more on an aftermarket cooling solution surely knows what he's doing. He needs no more guidance and directions. Leave it at that.
