Nil Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hey ! I’m pretty sure you guys can help. I candidly bought an i9 9900k CPU... to eventually realize I need to update my MOBO. I’d love not to spend a fortune getting a new one. Ideally it’d be a micro ATX MOBO, and as a bonus, hackintosh friendly (even though it’s likely I’ll permanently switch to Windows 10 Pro as my first tests with the OS are surprisingly positive). I don’t really plan to OC, might be cool if I can but I don’t mind really. Another solution would be to go ATX and get a new case, but I’ll happily avoid the expense if I can. I plan to use my current PSU, GPU ans SSDs. I’ll have to buy RAM (my sessions are CPU crunchers but not demanding when it comes to RAM). Already got a badass Noctua ventirad. I’ll recycle my current i7 6700k rig into a super compact one to supplement my laptop and to offload processing, my live set-up is absurdly demanding. As always, thanks a billion !

Limo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Newegg doesn't deliver to Europe, though, and I'm pretty sure Nil is French Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nil Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Thanks everyone, I finally went for a Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming (as it happens to also be hackintosh friendly). I believe I'll have to update BIOS though (haven't have time yet to build the PC). Now, next challenge will be either to buy a super compact, hyper transportable case to put the i7 6700k + MOBO, as VST processing satellite, or maybe to find something like an empty NUC to put the i7 in. No rush as it'd be to play live... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember but maybe I just had to pay customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anymore, unfortunately. Something to do with COVID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right, Id say with the severe lack of air travel, the price of cargo by air freight makes prohibitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
