Hey everyone, I just upgraded my gaming PC from an 8700k to a 9900kf. Now the 8700k is idle and I’m thinking about using it in my 2nc setup, but there’s no compatible mainboard. It’s delidded and can run smoothly at 4.9GHz with a stable 1.3V core, so I probably won’t need the top VRM options—I plan to use around 4.7GHz with a 1.2V supply. I’m trying to find a budget-friendly Z370 or 390 mainboard, since I don’t want to spend too much. Thanks ahead for your help!

This would be the lowest I’d consider https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9ZgzK8/...eel-legend

It seems the mainboard is available, but it's hard to find it locally or online in your area. You might want to check other stores or consider alternatives.
