[SOLVED] I7-9700K or I9-9900k

Hello everyone, so I have an Asrock B365M PRO 4, I know by their website it supports the I9-9900K. But im afraid of cpu throttling. Should i go for an I7-9700K or no?

Hey guys i bought the 9900k and out of the box, yes, it will he up to around 95 degrees Celsius. But! That is only when i reaches its boost clock speed. SO! I kept it at 4.0 Ghz and the temps now stay around 67 degrees Celsius even when stress tested! hope that info suits everyone if you have any questions feel free to ask and/ or reply.

So you bought a CPU and had to gimp it to use it? that is like buying a high end car and never shifting out of 3rd gear.

The board already has a rather poor power phase not really made for that processor and the cooler is not enough either. Even the NH site says to disable turbo using that cooler with that processor.
