Hi guys,

 

can you tell me whether or not the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro is sufficient for the i9-9900k in terms of VRM and thermals? - Or do i need to step it up to lets say the Z390 Aorus Master e.g.?

 

Thanks in advance!

Are you building an entirely new PC? If so what budget/country, what do you need it for, what's your monitor resolution/refresh rate, and what is your current PC?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

It will be my friends PC.. He will reuse some parts from his previous system. We are living in Germany.. The budget isn´t really the matter here - he´s also quite certain about the i9. The only question is if the Aorus Pro is sufficient for it or if the Aorus Master is needed. (The Pro+Wifi is ~ 200€ and the Aorus Master is ~ 280€)

If you're going with the 9900K probably just go for one of the EVGA boards, they'll be the best for overclocking/performance.

 

The 9900KF will also hit higher clock speeds on average since it lacks an iGPU.

It will be fine (Aorus Pro). Though the Master would be better IMHO. 

 

GB Z390 Aorus series boards are very well made, goodVRMs, fine power delivery. You can't go wrong with the Master

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )
