I bought a Z390 Aorus Ultra with a 9700K overclock to 5.00GHz 1.30v with Trident-Z 16GB 3.20GHz 16-18-18-38-1T 1.35v now I plan to keep it at 5.00GHz now I seen the Z390 Aorus Master go for sale for 259.99+-20.00MIR total of 239.99 I paid 238.99 for Aorus Z390 Ultra I can still return it get the Master but is worth it taking my pc apart? Only thing I notice is the dual 8pin power as oppose 4+8 and it has additional sound chip now will I gain any benefits In gaming with the master I might get a 9900K in the future but not certain will that additional 4pin power help me?

If you've got it overclocked and stable at 5GHz then what's the point of a new mobo?

a 4 pin power isn't going to help much exept if you want to ln2 your chip. you'll be fine with both. do you feel like it's worth it? go ahead. if not, just keep it this way

I’m more concern on additional sound  ESS SABRE 9118 DAC if it will make a difference in games?
