Question will this cpu fit my motherboard

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
These are the three best chips for the socket.

i7-8700k six core 12 threads
i7-9700k 8 cores 8 threads
i9-9900k 8 cores 16 threads
i9-9900ks is a but faster, but also runs a little hotter.
There is also the i7-8086k which was a special 8700k released to celebrate the anniversary of the Intel 8086 chip.

If you really want to upgrade to 12th/13th/14th gen at minimal cost they all still support DDR4, but you will need a new motherboard.

You will also need a BIOS update to get the latest chips working, but that board has BIOS flashback so you don't need a compatible CPU to do it.

9900KS was the fastest released for that platform, but unless you've got a really slow CPU in there now the higher end 8th/9th gen parts tend to be pretty expensive still.

i have a i7-9700k and it’s outdated, that’s why i just decided to go with the choice of a i9-14900k. The i7-9700k i got 7 years ago, and for example on cod/warzone i get terrible fps. we talking 70-90fps with a 3080.

I was looking at the msi z790-a max. I’m also pretty sure you indeed do need ddr5 i was looking on pc part picker and every ram stick you can choose from is ddr5
 
It is motherboard specific. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 but each motherboard will only support one type.

If you have a significant amount of DDR4 and don't want to repurchase it, it is a cheap way to do it. Otherwise DDR5 has come down in price enough to make a 6000 CL30 kit quite affordable.

Is the g.skill trident Z5 DDR5 32gb solid, and is the msi pro-A max wifi a solid motherboard for this rig? obviously paired with the i9-14900k once i get it.
 
Trident Z is G.Skill's higher end sticks. Depends on the speed and latency though. CL30 is as high as I would go with a minimum of 6000 MT/s, 6400 / 32 is also acceptable.

I can't really recommend a 14900k unless you really need those extra E cores and the 4MB cache they come with.

14700k still has 12 of them, and boosts almost as high as the 14900k. In general use you aren't going to see the high boost clocks from the 14900k, and a little manual tuning can get you there anyway.

so what’s the best cpu you recommend outta the i9s, cooling wise to. preferably 12th series and up
 
Well, none of them.

13900K is a little cheaper than a 14900k, but is otherwise identical save 200Mhz. It matches the clock speeds of the 14700k, which only loses you the 4 e-core while keeping everything else the same as the 13900k. $110 for 4 e cores and 4 MB of cache.

If this is just gaming, you should be looking at the 7800X3D or 7700X from AMD. 7800X3D adds a massive pool of cache memory which helps in many game titles. 7700X is just very good for the money.

On the workstation side of things. 14700k (20c/28t), 14900k(24c/32t), or AMD 7950X (16c/32t)

E cores don't have hyperthreading, but all of AMDs cores do. So you end up with the same thread count. Generally run cooler than Intel as well, particularly the 7800X3D

That is very much not a motherboard I'd suggest for a 14900K or 14700K due to their power draw. I'm not real familiar with other manufacturers options in that general price range, but the Z790 Tomahawk is a better choice from MSI (personally non-MAX model as MAX doesn't have CPU M.2 lanes wired only shared PCIe 5.0).

i plan on gaming and streaming on it. also will be used you know for normal things as well, like you know main pc i’m only gonna have this one. So i’m thinking the i7-14700k
