You can underclock and under volt the k so yes you can get to the same tdp or lower even.

Yep. DDU and try again.

Normal. You can up the fan profile with MSI afterburner and get better Temps but 80c is just fine.

I bought the TUF D4 wifi so I could reuse my DDR4 4000. Pretty sweet so far with an 11700k. Ram is at 4000 gear 1.

Custom build all the way. To many horror stories from people with prebuilts.

You can run a 6900xt on either platform just fine. I've ran mine with a 5800x/B550 and now a 12700k/Z690. I am quite happy with the 12700k but honestly aside from a few fps the 5800x was fine. If I had to make your choice it would be the 12900k. AMD's Zen 4 might be good but that's a ways off...

Temps should be as good or better then mine. COD I'm only seeing 65-70 and have a fairly toasty GPU dumping air in the case. Hopefully his pump in the AIO isn't failing.

What cpu cooler? What case? 75 is warm for sure. I hit low 80's on mine in Cibebench with a Noctua NH-d15s. Idles in the 30's.

75 is not going to hurt anything at all on an 11700k. I would not rely on Armoury crate though. Download hwinfo64. Try running something like cinebench to see what your max Temps are. 75c is fine though on air. Game on.

Pretty normal. You're GPU bound.

Nope

I've had both. The 11700k runs cooler.

Amazon sell Displayport to Hdmi cables.

The 11700k will be easier to cool as well.
