Overclocking i7 9700k
Yes, you're looking for a Z390 motherboard. Also, please specify the CPU cooler and the PSU make and model.
The 9700K's maximum single core turbo reaches 4.9 GHz. For optimal performance, all-core loadings should reach around 4.6 GHz. Assuming sufficient cooling and no power restrictions, Intel's XTU could potentially adjust the turbo duration and TDP limits, possibly enabling sustained all-core operation at 4.6 GHz—enough for most users, though it may not always impress.
