Hey guys,
Pretty much what the title says.
1. Which one do you think will be better - The i7-8700k overclocked by PCS to 4.8Ghz or the new i7-9700k (4.9Ghz with turbo boost) for which PCS don't have an OC version yet for obvious reasons. The base speed of the first is 3.7 and the latter 3.6 but I guess this doesn't matter that much in gaming, it's the top speed that counts. I reckon the difference between both will be marginal but would like to see what you think and if I'm wrong?
2. Which one would you go for gaming/gaming + streaming and why? Currently I'm playing the new AC Odyssey & Forza Horizon 4 but when there aren't new cool titles out I play a lot of Dota 2.
3. Do you know if the 4.8Ghz is the min PCS will overclock the processor to or the maximum? Is there a chance, if they've tested it and confirmed that it's safe to do so, to overclock it higher than what it says on the drop-down configuration menu?
The rest of my spec will be GTX1080Ti, Gigabyte z390 motherboard and 16GB RAM 2666Mhz.
Hope you can provide some insight.
Cheers!
