8700K to 9900K Upgrade For Streamer / Gamer PC?

[Turmania]

My fav case off all time! Still have it. Just too big but the curves is enough to buy it

wow 522W are a big number, hardly unexpected.
I was wondering if the motherboard VRMs were able to keep up with the CPU, but the answer seems to be YES.
Do you have thermal reads about VRM under load ? Are you monitoring that ?

HWInfo shows it seems to be fine.

I do not have AVX at same 5GHz speed though. If I do that temperature would explode over 95C

Those AIO pipes really annoys me

Yeah pain of not dealing with custom loop is I have to deal with AIO pipes, and pretty long too

what do you mean with "fine" ? Which temperature VRM reach ?

It is quite strange to me that a 9900K has better temperatures than an 8700K...

8700K has thermal paste, 9900K is solidiered CPU. System is not mine so cannot answer your question right away. I will ask her later. From my initial testing CPU temp is lower. Not sure about VRM

So I asked her to open the HWINFO monitor while doing her daily streaming / video editing.

This is after about 6hrs of total system up time with all her daily heavies duty workload. Room temp is a bit warm for her around 26C.

So yeah, I am not too worried. And yes, VR VCC is the VRM temp.

This is now adptaive vcore set to 1.295V with llc at lv3. I guess 5GHz is the absolute max that can be pushed on this Z370-ITX board with a 9900K.

CPU temperatures are fine, I would say they are good considering the high performance CPU.
But as I suspected VRM temperatures are very high. The 76° while the CPU is at idle (34°) and the peak at 97° are a demonstration it really is not up to the task. Not unexpected, it is an old motherboard, that’s the reason why I asked you VRM temps.
I would keep the CPU at stock without overclocking, on that board, but clearly YMMV

No. Idle is 69. 76 was Queen she was steaming. Max 97
