Z370 or Z390?

[Chad_Gaming]

Hi!
i was wondering what motherboard i should use with i9 9900k 
(yes i know it is a cpu from 2018-2019 but i bought it long time ago forgot about it)
and was looking for motherboard witch is hard to find so i thought i should ask here witch one would be better.

the motherboards i am talking about is 

MSI Z390-A PRO or the ASrock Fatal1ty Z370.

Don't buy a Z370 for a i9 / 9th gen. The power delivery is not capable of delivering good enough stable power, so you basically cut off the true performance of the 9th gen chips, especially the i9. Go for a Z390

Reason why i was asking is the vrm cooling on the MSI z390-A PRO board is less compared to the ASrock Z370 board.

it makes me concerned

Cooling might be different but the VRM itself is build differently on most Z390 boards. 

I'm trying to find the old benchmarks I've seen before but can't find them... I've thought about going for a second hand 9900K with my Z370 but everytime I've thought about it, I've looked up benchmarks and the performance is really bad on most standard Z370 (with 9900Ks)

Some have said their 9900K at 5GHz worked well on Z370 but that was using very high end overclocking Z370 boards. But if you are thinking about using a pretty standard Z370, I wouldn't do it. 

I've tried to locate the benchmarks I've read some times before but I just can't find them... So typical...

i think i will just but 3M Thermally Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape.

and put some of it on the rest of the vrm's to be 100% sure it wont over heat

Get the Asus Maximus XI. Good thing about buying old stuff, you can get top end stuff for cheap.
Put a monoblock on mine and its very hot, especially running with no avx offset and the voltage needed for it.
