Hi all,

I have a huge dilemma. I cannot decide between I9 9900k and 10700k. The price is not big between of them.
Is the 10700k also hot like the I9 9900k?

I am planning to move my new build into a Pure Base 500dx case with 2front intake and one top, one rear exhaust 14cm fans.
The Vga is an Rtx 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio.
Psu is a Seasonic Focus Plus 850w Platinum.

If I choose the 10700k the motherboard is pgoing to be the Msi Z490 Unify.
For the I9900k Aorus Master Z390.

And the ram... I am planning to put 3200mhz Hyperx Fury 32Gb.
I know I need to enable Xmp in bios to get the 3200mhz. My concern is that does it going to effect the cpu? Get hotter or something like this? Or do i need to overclock it as well?

The cpu cooler for both is most probably Noctua NH-D15. Is it going to be enough for the 10700k even if I overclock (which one I dont plan). I want to leave everything on default.

I see the 9900k is 95w the 10700k 125w. Will the 10700k going to drain more power?

Please help me guys in the decision.
Btw: the build main purpose is gaming

Thanks for your replies.
 
Solution
I have a 10700K on an ASUS ROG Z490 mobo with an NH-D15. Case has good cooling 2x140 front intake and 120 rear + 2x140 top exhaust. Aida64 stress testing runs 67-68C with RAM XMP at 3200 CL14.

Given Intel next gen is upcoming, that makes the 9900K even more dated....
