I was thinking about selling these but I'm under 16 so I'm not sure where I can sell those parts.
I'm US. I assume if I have a parent or guardians permission I can sell these parts on ebay?UK or US?
I'm UK, and in the rare event I don't use eBay or Amazon, I use Gumtree.
Obviously worth having a parent or legal guardian around, and making them aware of what you plan on doing assuming they don't have an eBay/Amazon account and allow you to sell it on there.
So should I just get the i5-9400f or just save up for a new motherboard and amd cpu?Just being curious, I looked online for a search on your H310 motherboard and 9700K. I found a couple of build and review videos up to the 8700, non K skew by KL Gamers and Unboxish. They also do reviews on the 9400F which may be useful to your decision.
There were a couple of hits related to advising not to use the K skew with this motherboard.

Alright I will see. Thanks for the help!I don't feel like the advice to consider a platform upgrade to be bad. Without knowing what your budget will be and how long it would take you to get there could be important, not only in regard to this update but with an entirely new chipset and possibly memory standard around the corner. Coupled with the GPU shortage (and admittedly you have a decent one) it's not a super time to be building an entire system. Just the same, you could stand to gain a good deal of performance with even a meager update.
All that wind to say that it's a tough one and you have to be the one to decide that value.
I highly doubt that there will be any thermalthrotling with a locked CPU.H310 motherboard is crap for a 8 core 9700F. It should thermaltrottle. Sell your cpu, MB and ram and but a i5-11400, B560 MB and 2x8Gb 3200C16 ram.
Within Intel spec, 65w and 3 GHz, it's no problem, but boostclockwith a powerconsumption of 105w? Maybe a few seconds before it slows down. I don't think TS buys a 9700F for a 3 GHz stock speed.I highly doubt that there will be any thermalthrotling with a locked CPU.
Even on a H310 motherboard.
Please start your own thread for your situation.HEY ANYONE OUT THERE I HAVE A GTX 1660 AND i5-9440F AND I HAVE 16GB OF RAM AND 3 FANS AND I PLAY FORTNITE ON LOW SETTINGS AND GET LOW FPS AND FPS STUTTERS WHY?
