What components to choose in the assembly with the i7-10700?
Good afternoon. I'm building a computer based on the i7-10700. There were several questions regarding the choice of components:
1) Does it make sense to overpay for the K version of the processor? I read that processors with the prefix K use more successful crystals. Does this mean that at the same frequencies, the i7-10700K will have less heat dissipation than the i7-10700?
2) Which motherboard on the z490 is better to choose? I am considering 3 options:
- Gigabyte Z490 UD or MSI Z490-A PRO (the price is the same)
- pay a little extra and buy Gigabyte Z490 GAMING X or MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS (the price is also the same)
- pay even more and buy Asus TUF GAMING Z490 -PLUS
3) How much does the CPU consume in stress tests like Prime95? Does heat release depend on the luck of the crystal? What kind of cooling does it need? I'm thinking of buying a Noctua NH-D14 or NH-D15, but I'm not sure, as some reviews say that only dropsy can cope with such a processor.
4) Which RAM is better to choose:
- Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 2x8Gb 3200 MHz on Micron E-die
- HyperX Fury Black DDR4 2x8Gb 3200 MHz on Samsung K4A8G085WB-BCPB
- G.Skill Ripjaws V 4000 MHz on new Hynix D-Die
5) Is it worth taking a power supply from Vinga or is it better to take from a more well-known manufacturer?

1. It makes sense to take processors with index K if you overclock it, and for this you need to take a motherboard that will provide both the necessary power in phases and will not burn out from overload, or if higher frequencies in the drain are critical to you. If you are not going to drive, then you can save on the motherboard by abandoning the Z chipset.
2. If you do not have specific requirements for the motherboard, for example, that it would support the transfer of devices to the VM, then you need to take the one with better cooling and more reliable power circuits, it’s a pity that they don’t write this in the specifications on the sellers website.
3. Noctua is praised, but I myself have been sitting on a maintenance-free single-slot dropsy for 4 years with an i7-8700K, for a hot stone it is better to take a cooler with a power dissipation margin. It depends only on your budget, and also on the case and cable management, you can screw everything up by installing the components incorrectly
4. Other things being equal, you should take the one with lower timings, if it is working, IMHO, the manufacturer is not critical.
5. Take the PSU with a margin, calculate it on a calculator online and buy 30-40% more powerful, maybe you can upgrade later or use it in a more powerful assembly in a couple of years, or maybe it will lose power .... this happens ... Stock it should be. I would take a thermal take, but this is a matter of taste.
5) Saving on BP is the height of idiocy. A low-quality PSU in the event of a breakdown will drag the entire unit with it to the land of eternal hunting. Not Be quiet!, Thermaltake, Deepcool, maybe, Corsar, etc.
