thats got to be the most idiotic thing i ever heard..


SOSCrazy 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.
