I7-10700KF on Z590

[RastyB]

Budget (including currency):

 I'm planning to upgrade:

• Asus TUF Gaming Z590-Plus Wifi                                                             4 899,- Kč (Czech Krone)  225.2 USD
• Intel Core I7-10700KF                                                                               6 990,- Kč                          321.3 USD
• G.SKILL 16GB KIT DDR4 3600MHz CL16 Trident Z RGB  2x8GB          3 899,-Kč                           179.2 USD
•  NZXT Kraken X63                                                                                     2 849,-Kč                           130.9 USD                                                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                               Total:    18 637,-Kč                            856,6 USD

Country: Czech Republic

Mostly work (MS office + Intenet) but sometimes I still play games, especially FPS. I'm interested to see new games, what's new. ( You know, I started at DOOM II 1993, but now I love the batllefield series ) 

 

Existing parts: 

 

• Intel Core I5-3570K
• ARCTIC Freezer 33 CO
• Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
• Kingston KHX1600C10D3/8G 4x4 GB
• HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB
• SSD: Kingston SSDNow mS200 mSATA 120GB (MOBO suported just SATA II)
• ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 DUAL-GTX1070-O8G, 8GB GDDR5
• Fractal Design Define C Tempered Glass
• Corsair TX650
• (NVMe M2 Samsung 970EVO plus 1TB)

 

 

I'm already worried about the old HDD, where I back up my data to work, so I bought a NVMe M2 Samsung 970EVO plus 1TB + PCI-E expansion card, I tried to set it up as a boot disk (Flash Bios) unfortunately unsuccessfully.(MOBO is still OK) but Samsung 970EVO plus can be used instead of HDD. I said to myself, it's time to upgrade. Its almost 10y old ring  (Just case is newer) 

I am renovating the house, so I work temporarily in the living room on 65" TV samsung 4k 50Hz, but later I would probably buy a monitor minimal 1440p 144Hz ideal is 4K.I like maximum resolution and ultra detail.  It would probably be better to wait for the upgrade until January next year..... win11, new Alder lake by intel, mayby DDR 5 etc.... but I plan to buy this week. Upgrade my graphics card will wait until the crisis ends, because those prices are absolutely insane....  All my life I am building a PC on Intel platform....

im buing all components on this eshop https://www.alza.cz/EN/

 

So my questions is,

1. what do you think about I7-10700KF + Z590  I know that it will not support PCI 4.0

2. My power supply has only 8pin for CPU, but MOBO has 8+4 pin, I read on the forums - is enough to connect just 8 pins. It will realy work?

3. NZXT Kraken X63 it will be enough to cool my new I7 even at overclock.

 

 

Thanks for the feedback/Help and sorry for my English, sometimes i have to used google translator.

1. Assuming BIOS supports it (it should, but double check the OEM page to confirm), yes. Z590 can run 10th/11th gen, same with Z490, just depends on the BIOS version you're running. 

2. Yep. Only need the single 8 pin, unless you're absolutely smashing voltage through your chip, shouldn't need the supplemental 4. 

3. Yes. May get a bit hot if you're pushing it but it shouldn't go out of spec.

Any problems with your old rig?

 

Just overclock the i5 then, safe volt around 1.45v, just make sure to not go higher than 80c

Yes I5 3570k  is very easy to overclock, but I bought a  NVMe M2 Samsung 970EVO plus 1TB and i  tried to set it up as a boot disk (Flash Bios) unfortunately unsuccessfully. So that was reason start thinking about upgrading....

I think there are ways to use nvme ssds as boot drives on these older systems

 

Not worth upgrading if you dont have any major issues, just overclock the cpu and use it till w10 goes eol or it just outright dies

But it didn't help ... I downloaded the mode for mine MOBO

Do you have a sata ssd?

If you do then just use that as a boot drive, if you dont just buy one and use it as a boot drive

 

These old systems arent compatible with nvme boot so that explains why you cant boot off an nvme ssd

many users have managed to learn the old MOBO nvme boot, bat true is sata ssd is solution - cheap and not bad

Just get a sata ssd and wait till next gen since ddr4 is about to become obselete

 

And in the meantime so your cpu isnt slow i suggest overclocking it

Yes, I thought that very shortly will be a better time to upgrade, but I felt excited when selecting new components........and new SATA SSD i can use like external disk fo back up
