With the recent release of 12th gen Intel CPUs, is 10th gen still relevant now?
Someone listed a used 10900k + MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus for £350
The 10900k comes without the original box and no purchase receipt. After further conversation with the seller, I found out the seller bought this from someone else and cant reach the first seller anymore to ask for the purchase receipt - so he's basically selling a third-hand CPU.
The motherboard, on the other hand, comes with the original box and purchase receipt. It was bought early this year and is still under the warranty.
Considering the 10900k comes without its original box and no purchase receipt, do you guys think I should grab this deal? or is it too risky that I'm better off with something else that is new?
As for now the thing that's holding me off from going to Alder Lake 12th Gen is the power consumption. That thing will be a pain in the arse to cool off and I would be forced to upgrade my 280mm to 360mm aio to sustain good temp for daily use.
Thoughts?
