Hello everyone, last week I purchased an RTX3070 with a new PSU (Corsair TX750M). Due to CPU limitations, I’m considering upgrading from the i5-9400f to the i9-9900K. I thought an i7-9700K would suffice but prefer the i9. I’ve heard my Z390 Gaming X One isn’t ideal for pairing with an i9 CPU—am I right? Also, is there any concern about compatibility if I ever decide to overclock?

i have this https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/...support#dl but i decided to get the 8700k instead of wait for the 9900. love the board so far had for over a year. has had many bios updates. im sure you will be fine either route. the 9900 will work just fine.
