Posted September 14, 2020 Budget (including currency): around $500 Country: Philippines Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly for games Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Ryzen 5 2600 MSI Gaming Plus B450 mobo 16 gig ddr 4 ram rx570 8 gig sapphire Cryorig R1 Ultimate. I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to rtx 2070 super but i decided to wait until december for rtx 3070. Is Intel Core i7 10700 2.9-4.8 ghz worth to get? I'm a AMD fanboy but i decided to try something new and before i buy intel processor, i want some juicy information about intel processor so i won't just throw money and regret my decision.

Posted September 14, 2020 i5 10600k is better as it is 4.1-4.8 it has higher base clocks so it will run faster than i7 on poor cooling. It is cheaper so it makes room for a good motherboard like a asus rog strix z490-G gaming wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watch some youtube vid and yea i5 is popping off in terms of performance. I want to upgrade my processor because i have this gut feeling my amd processor is about to die. My pc sometimes randomly turn off and after i turn on my pc there's a red led on my mobo. I did some troubleshooting like checking the PSU and changing thermal paste and it helps but there's a rarely time my pc just turn off out of nowhere.

Yup already did that and i figure out what is the mean of that red led light. But for now i'm thinking of switching proc. I just feel like i'm not happy on what amd gives in my system unit in terms of performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another note i don't want or like overclocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another note i don't want or like overclocking. the whole point of an intel k processor is overclocking. if you don't want/like it, go with a non-k cpu. bear in mind though that most of the figures that show the 10600k or 10700k cpus as being the best in gaming are using overclocked cpus, as that's how they are supposed to be used.

Posted September 14, 2020 The 10600 non-k is still better than the 10700 and it is cheaper. Though overclocking is the way to go it is completely safe for your your hardware as millions of people do it. If you have never overclocked a CPU(like me) then you can get help from the people in the overclocking section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is plenty and over clocking is a slow art you have to do it extremely slowly and check whether the temps rocket up or not. You can do it slowly 20 mhz at a time and crank it up until it reaaches 80-ish to peak load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choosing a motherboard for this 10600k, what are those feature i should consider before i buy a mobo. 1 minute ago, boggy77 said: no need to change it, that's a good cooler Nice thanks. Now I can try this overclocking when i get my intel processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 14, 2020 Look for reviews VRMs are the most important for over clocking. All motherboards these days have good feature sets. The most i can recommend is to get one with wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on motherboard i can change my mind but on processor i can proudly say no i won't change my decision. I want to think outside of the box because i'm a AMD fanboy since high school that's why i want to try intel processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then.. a 10600k is decent and is more than enough for gaming and as for a board, the z490 tomahawk or the gaming edge wifi or the vision g to name a few are quite decent and can handle a 10900k easily as well.
