Views about installing i9-9900K in your MSI B360 GAMING Arctic setup
Hey! You're looking to upgrade your CPU for better performance with gaming and editing tasks. Your current setup includes an MSI B360 GAMING Arctic motherboard, an i5 8400 processor, 8GB of 32GB RAM at 2666MHz, a Corsair Vengeance RGB White GPU, and an Asus ROG Strix 850G 850W power supply. You also have a white H100i GPU. Since you can't overclock the B360 but want a more powerful CPU, the K series is a good budget option in Sweden compared to the 9900.
For editing in After Effects, this seems like a solid choice. It’s unlikely you’d need a 9900T; the 9900K likely offers better performance. The adequately sized heat sink suggests power throttling won’t be a significant issue, despite the modest power phases.
Hey there! Glad you're here. I'm not sure how the board will handle power delivery with that 9900K spec, but since you've set the frequency and it's not a Z390 board, you should be good to go.
