Hello, I currently have an i5 8400 and as black friday aproaches I was thinking about getting the i7 9700k and selling the i5
I have a b360 board that acording to the manufacturer(ASUS) site supports intel 9th gen with a bios update.
My question, that after extensive searching was not answered, is the following:
I know its likely that the mobo wont be able to sustain full turbo (4,6ghz) on the CPU due to power. But how much of a hit will it be on games/editing if the cpu did not reach its full turbo? Will it make the upgrade a bad idea? I am thinking of possibly getting a z390 board in a not so near future.
This is my complete rig. I hope someone could enlighten me on this matter. Thanks
