Well, I own an Intel I7-8700K paired with ROG MAXIMUS X HERO and my main question is if it's worth selling it and buying with a small difference the 9700K. Since I haven't win the silicon loterry as well (my piece is pretty hard 4.7GHz @ 1.26V) and the CPU itself is a bit hot would it make sense?
I'm not the type who changes hardware every once in a while, I only aim at system's longevity since I'm only gaming, maybe some stream if I finally get the proper internet connection. Also would MAXIMUS X HERO be enough to handle the 9700K?
Last but not least, I would consider waiting for RYZEN's ZEN 2 CPUs but then again I'd have to also change my motherboard, and I would find it as a waste of money and time since I personally believe that the next major upgrade it would be worth to do, would be when DDR5 platform is introduced.
Kind regards,
