[SOLVED] 9700k or 9600k?

[ludvig.adelroth]

So I'm thinking about upgrading my cpu to either a 9700k or a 9600k. The thing is, I only have a cryorig H7 Quad Lumi for cooling. Should I go for the 9700k on stock frequencies, or should I get the 9600k and overclock it? Which would be better?

Or should I wait for the next generations CPUs to be released? Or should I get the 8700k for the hyper-threading?

9700K, if it were my money....

My vote is 9700k. I’m not a fan of the current i5’s when Ryzen is an option.

Agreed. I would buy a 9700k. The i5 is a bad value right now.
