Need Z390 Advice

[PopsicleHustler]

Hi

 

I'm building my first system on Z390 chipset, and I would like to get an advice. 

 

CPU is i5 9600k with 16GB 3000Mhz and GTX1080ti.

 

I need a board that can handle typical OC voltages on 6c/6t CPU, nothing crazy, 1.4 ish V max.

 

My current pick is https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-90MB0YA0-M0EAY0-Newcomer-Mainboards-Z390-PRO/dp/B07HRWSJ3Y/ref=sr_1_21?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1543317154&sr=1-21&keywords=Z390

 

But maybe there is something that I don't know, so any advice is welcome.

before you get the 9600k,

i recommend the 8700k, i had the 8600k and it choked at...numerous things.

 

asus is bad this gen, or gigabyte just went the extra mile

Get an ASRock Z370 extreme4 or ASRock Z390 Taichi.

 

What's your budget?

9600k is 240GBP, 8700K is 420GBP with too little gain in gaming performance. And  I'm building gaming PC for online FPS games.

Gigabyte has made Really solid Z390 motherboards, all their Aorus line up is perfectly capable of reaching 5ghz on the i5 9600K, from all I watched on youtube Gigabyte is completely destroying Asus on price-to-performance across the board.

Well it is sufficient for the i5 9600K, including the 5ghz overclock.

 

However I wouldn't advise heavy overclock on either the i7 9700K and i9 9900K on it as there might be power constrains.

 

The i9 9900K stock if you choose to use the stock Turbo Boost instead of the stock TDP (yes Intel own stock settings are conflicting now you either get the stock Turbo Boost table or you stay withing 95w TDP can't have both) could also give you issue with extended usage.

 

Intel really is pushing 14nm++ to its limits on 8 cores configuration, Ring Bus is the best core link technology in existence, much lower latency than Mesh and Infinity Fabric however it really was designed for quad-cores (Intel probably thought we'd be on those forever) and to make it work on 8 cores the power consumption is rising like crazy.
