hello so i bought this cpu on amazon deals, i bought the k version by mistake and i cannot refund because its on the way
i have the k and kf version on the way lol

wich one should i keep?

BTW i bought a

GIGABYTE Z690 - Aorus Elite AX DDR4 (LGA 1700/Intel Z690/ATX/DDR4/
and also an adapter for the Noctua NH-D15 chroma socket LG1700

also the rest of component that i will use with the cpu and mobo is:

rtx 3060 12gb asus dual

32gb ram corsair lpx 3000mhz
corsair rm850x 80 plus gold
Noctua NH-D15 chroma


should be good for the i712700? and the new mobo?

thank you
 
The K will have built-in graphics, which can prove handy if your RTX 3060 goes off the rails.

The KF does NOT.

Take your pick.

The Noctua is an excellent cooler assuming it will fit in your case.
i see thank i will re sell it when arrives

and the rest of parts would be good with this nee mobo and cpu?
yes the noctua cooler is being used right now and fits well on my case is a big one with 6 noctua 3000rpm noctua
 
You could use 3200 or 3600 speed RAM.

BUT..............you probably couldn't tell the difference other than in a benchmark.

I wouldn't change it if it were my PC.

I'm using 2666 speed, slower than yours.

But you have to live with yourself. Change it if you would constantly berate yourself if you didn't. It's entirely a personal decision.
