September 22, 20196 yr If you are thinking of the i9900KS check the manufactures that are flashing the bios for the 9900KS not all boards will be only top end 390. Raymond Fry.
September 22, 20196 yr Author Thank you all for the advises might go for the Asus Maximus xi hero as I had an Asus vi extreme vi z87 for my 4790k And was extremely happy with it. just gotta save my pennies a little longer lol

ASUS gets some criticism but I’ve had great experiences with them.

September 23, 20196 yr Even with a 9900xx CPU you'll want a strong overclocking motherboard (we simmers can never ever have too much CPU power! ). The Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Pro is one of the best Z390 overclockers and offers great options... and is within your budget. Greg Edited September 23, 20196 yr by lownslo typos

Greg Thanks greg ive just been reading reviews about it. seems like a few bios issues people are having with that board
September 23, 20196 yr Author What about msi??? any other suggestions please ? will my h110 cooler fit ? and 1080ti Be in the way of some parts? as I noticed in some boards parts are quite large/ sticking out thanks mike
September 23, 20196 yr Funny how the YouTube testers wished other manufactures could have a BIOS setup like ASUS. Raymond Fry.
September 23, 20196 yr For 9900k or 9900ks, most reviews show you need something like the Gigabyte z390 aorus master, or aorus elite. Asus Strix X570-E | Ryzen 9 5950X | Asus TUF RTX 3080 OC | GSkill Trident Z Neo 32GB DDR4 3600 | Samsung 970 EVO | Acer Predator XB271HU | Windows 10 Pro
September 23, 20196 yr Overclocking my 9900K to 5.0GHz on the Maximus XI Hero Z390 was a piece of cake and it’s stable and cool. What ami missing?
