Yes.

If you want to multitask then the i9 will be better on the long run.

Why is it bad tho? You afraid it would leave marks and void warranty?

Oh lol, about time they updated that creep, I had to go thru that counterintuitive installation process only to find out he changed the mechanism now.

MCE on?

Why are you ‘scared’? Once hitting 100 the CPU will just throttle and reduce turbo clocks to a sustainable level, if you want a score, leave it for 10 minutes.

As for 240mm, they’re usually not enough for such CPUs, I would consider 280mm the bear minimum if you are constantly under heavy load, a top notch thermal paste like Kryonaut also helps but if you plan to game, you’ll be fine with a 240 or an air cooler.

How the hell does it go over 80 in gaming without any undervolt? A 14900k runs bellow 65 that without needing undervolt. 4090 here.
