So I have a i5 10400f rn but I want to upgrade to a i9 11900k because my gpu is the rx 7900xtx and I only get 70% from it so what do I do when I put in a new cpu

    I was under the impression that the socket of a 10th gen is different than the 12, 13 & 14 gen so he could only upgrade to an 11 gen. Is that correct?

      It’s correct. Far too many people in this thread are regurgitating Gamers Nexus without context. There are very few bad CPUs, just bad prices. There are other factors. Maybe OP doesn’t want to switch to Win 11 yet. Maybe he wants the full benefits of PCIe 4.0 without changing his platform. Maybe he wants the satisfaction of getting what he planned for when he first bought the budget 10400f.
