Hi everyone, my new build was going to be like:
Here comes the issue, I got everything except the cpu.
I have read a review about the i7 10700 non-k telling that a simple power limit tweak can unlock this chips potential, closely matching 10700k performance.
Having cpus at the following price points:
Have in mind that i already got the z490 board. I'm not planning in overclocking at least in a short term, i just wanted a solid board that could hold 10700k power consumption, but reading that review makes me think about going for the locked 10700 at 100€ less or for the locked 10900 for a little more
What would be your best choice?
Thank you in advance
