Looking for a cooler and motherboard to pair with your i7 9700K?
Hello, I'm looking for a suitable cooler and motherboard to overclock my i7 9700k. I'm considering the DarkRock Pro 4 but it lacks enough RAM space for my Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM (51mm). So far I've checked three options: the Deepcool Assassin III (54mm) and CryoRig R1 for air cooling, plus a Corsair H150i Pro for an AIO. Regarding motherboards, I'm not very familiar with them. My current setup is a Gigabyte Z370xp SLI which could be upgraded, but experts suggest moving to a Z390 board for optimal overclocking performance. I'm also thinking about upgrading my GPU to an EVGA RTX 2080 S. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I haven't done any overclocking before, so I'm not sure what features I need in a motherboard. My system is primarily used for gaming, so I'll stick with the i5-8400 CPU. I'm wondering if my 750W PSU will handle both the CPU and GPU during overclocking? That's my current configuration.
