As mentioned earlier, I spotted a solid offer on a PC this Sunday, though the motherboard is an OEM model. It seems to be from a smaller factory PC brand. Would this affect the CPU's ability to enter turbo mode?

The processor you're asking about is working properly.

It's an Intel Core i7-9700 processor, not a K model.

The board's dimensions don't affect if the CPU supports Turbo Boost. Locate a case could present some challenges.

It shouldn't be a big problem. A 9700 model consumes less power than most other 9000 series Intel processors. Since it's not a K model, it can't be overclocked, but the turbo feature should work fine on an OEM board.

Execute what you require. Improve when it falls short of expectations.

I understand that, not sure yet, but the agreement includes a typical ATX situation, so perhaps just stick with it...

Don't secure it... It seems the fit might be questionable. That chip is quite broad yet not very tall. The spacing pattern resembles E-ATX, though only in the width area, not the height. You should definitely be able to fit at least four screws, which would be acceptable if the chip actually fits inside the case.

Using tape for securing a motherboard in an improper case isn't recommended. You'd still have to handle cooler mounting, and placing standoffs incorrectly might damage the board.

The case uses a deepcool mesh design, yet the CPU cooler is Be Quiet Dark Rock 4, which is quite bulky. What are your thoughts on this?
