Plez help i new to da CPU
Hello! My friends, I've been around here a while and now really need your advice. A year ago I purchased my first computer. Back then I wasn't particularly interested in building one, just needed something for gaming and video editing on a limited budget, so I bought an HP Omen 188 110. Since then I've only changed the RAM and GPU. The current specs are GTX 1070 with 8GB, an i5 8600K, 32GB RAM, HP motherboard, HP power supply, and a 250GB SSD with a 1TB HDD. I'm looking for a better CPU to handle my 4K footage editing. I recently bought a camera and it's showing issues. I've upgraded the RAM already and am using proxies with my storage, but it's not working well. I'm considering upgrading to an i9 900K because the socket (LG1511) matches, but since I'm not sure how old my build is, I can't be certain the motherboard is more than two years old. I'm also unsure if it supports the i9, and when I checked release dates online it seemed confusing. Could you please advise? Any other CPU options that would fit my board, or should I check if my current setup can handle the i9? Thanks!
You might need a 9900k with LGA 1151, but the later half of your board is faulty. HP only confirms the 9700k works, though the 9900k should be fine. The main problems will be overheating from these high-power chips. Also, check the editing software you're using—programs like Resolve handle it better on hardware.
Ensure you install the BIOS update from HP first (if you're unsure which one is the BIOS). You can locate them on the product's support page.
An i9700K could match the performance and style of a high-end model, but its effectiveness depends on your specific needs.
Your motherboard is still relatively new, but there might be some issues since it's an HP board and the power supply could be weaker than others. This might affect performance with high-demand chips like the 9900k. I'm not certain about your specific model, but it seems similar to many budget builds where the manufacturer focuses on basic requirements. Regarding your earlier concern, the 9700k would handle heat better, while the 9900k would be more efficient, particularly in Adobe applications. If you can afford it, the 9900k would be a superior option compared to the 9700k.
The 9900k is expected to outperform the 9700k while requiring comparable cooling. Check DA Vinci resolve 16 for more details. @The_russian the board is here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06177288
I noticed the board image and power delivery seem lacking in detail, yet there aren’t any specifications available. Regarding the CPU upgrade, it mentions a maximum TDP of 95W, matching the 9900k rating, but I wouldn’t feel confident about using such a high-power processor.
