i9 10900 question
i9 10900 question
so i was looking to get the 11th gen i7 when they come but from recent early reviews, its not looking to good. currently i have a i5 10400, i got this just tie me over till 11th gen releases but now i'm thinking about going with the i9 10900 (non-K). i don't do any overclocking and i like having my PC run a cool as possible, is the i9-10900 a cool running CPU? i have a corsair 240mm AIO and afraid that even with this it might run really hot mainly the reason i dont want the i9 k version i seen thats a really hot CPU. And i know people will ask what my work load is and its not heavy, pc gaming and media consumption i just like having a beasty PC and 10 cores sounds dope to have.
The TDP remains consistent, indicating uniform heat generation. Although TDPs aren't always precise, the 10900f offers a $35 discount compared to the 10900. If you already own a GPU, it's worth choosing the 10900f.
I noticed the TDP is 65 watts, yet others claim they can exceed that. I was considering the 10900F but again saw someone mention it handles more power. For just this CPU, I haven’t found much data about its actual performance.
It seems you're considering getting the 10900K. The motherboard is more than capable, and the cooler should handle stock speeds even with minor overclocking. The 10900K all-core runs at 4.9GHz, which is a noticeable increase from the 10900's 4.5GHz. Linus tested it and even a budget 212 managed under gaming loads. A solid build, but it's best suited for higher-end builds. Anything below the 10900K might not be worth it.
I think I don’t want a K version because I’m planning to use the ASUS ROG Strix 3080, which is said to draw up to 400 watts. I already have a Corsair RM750, and with that card paired with a K version CPU, I might need a different power supply. Since my current PSU is only three months old, I really don’t want to replace it and make any changes to the cables.
because i kept my drive bay theres really no room in between my power supply and drive bay can tell you how hard it was to tighten the thumb screws that are between there so im basically calling it when it comes to upgrading it.
