Review on πŸ’» Enhanced Intel Core i7-9700 8-Core Desktop Processor, up to 4.7 GHz, LGA1151, 300 Series, 65W by Jeffrey Connel

Smooth performance - Non-K is more than enough

You saved $40 by choosing this non-K processor. Combined with my CPU-mounted 120mm fan, this CPU runs at a cool 4.5GHz. No need to spend extra money on the k version unless you really want to pack in some extra power, save your money. I paired this with a 32GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz RAM and an MSI Z390 Carbon Pro Gaming board, so I was able to increase the turbo to 4.7 via the motherboard BIOS, it but left on the default settings. Paired with my 8GB rtx 2070 I've never felt more comfortable playing 3x faster, just buy it already if you want to immerse yourself in powerful games with maximum impact.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Negative experience
