Hey guys!
Pretty new to PC building; so any help is greatly appreciated!
My good friend has generously sold me his (used but less that 2 months old) i7 9700k for 100. I jumped at the chance and didn't think much of it.
After doing some research I spooked myself about using the CPU due to reading about VRM temps.
My current setup is:
asrock h310cm-hdv/m.2
I5 9600k
Will my motherboard die if I use the new CPU?
Will it affect the CPUs performance?
Or am I worrying for nothing?
I only use the PC for gaming and won't be overclocking.
Thanks all!
