the best is not using K to overclock.

The best is using F version to match K performance.
F no max turbo limit + BLK103MHz + The Right B460 Mobo.

that the best possible build. Not K CPU + Z490 mobo

with F + B460, you can save up to RM800!!!
for nearly same performance.

While you got extra RM800 to upgrade GPU.

SOS

Crazy Yeh... Intel want tax "Fanboy" more with the so called Z490 and K Series CPU.

ACTUALLY??? K and F is nearly identical products.
For 14nm arc is OVERUSED, and later gen of SKYLAKE reborn is nearly little overclock headroom...

The best PART?

Buying F. with the fake 65W TPD, F Series is as power hunger as K. when you remove limit on max turbo....
since we can OPT out the FAKE K Series Overclock too... ( less than 2% actual FPS gain in most case )

We can OPT out Z490 mobo with its ridiculous price.

*** if you gaming on 1440p...., u might even ignore i7...
Gaming on high res always let the System meet its GPU Bottleneck much earlier than CPU..

So, if you dont like i5, i7 F Series was the best choice.

so if this Chemist said water = H2O, meaning WATER is Con9firm NOT H2O???

brather.. you lost job during MCO? or break up??
or financial problem??

the benchmark is valid across many reviewer...


you smelled like expired chili, sour, bitter, spicy...
