Hello, i am about to change from mini itx case to Atx Meshify C. CPU is i9 9900k. My question is should i change motherboard? Right now i have ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I (which probably isnt anything special for i9) and I might possibly upgrade to Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO. Do you think its worth it ? I dont neccesary need to OC my cpu. I could possibly sell my asus mobo for the half price of aorus pro. I am not sure if i9 9900k isnt too much torture for my mini itx board. THX

It'll work on the z370 board fine if you're not overclocking and I assume you have the BIOS updated for the board?

 

The z390 aorus is a really good board. It'll handle the 9900k very well if you decide to go with it.

That's not a bad board at all, I would spend the money somewhere else if it would do you any good there.
