Hi,
I'm working in different countries and I already have my imac pro at one place but want to buy another imac for my other place.
I'm going for a 2019 i5 base model.
I'm open it this week to add a 1tb blade crucial p5 plus, clean everything. I've also ordered 64gb (2x32).
I wonder if it's a huge upgrade to switch the 6 core i5 by a 9700 or 9900k? The i5 is a 8th gen... But I've read that thr 9th gen works flow less.
My main question is :
With a 9900k, I'm afraid about the fan...
The tdp is 65w with the i5 but the 9900k is 95w...
Any experience from you?
 
I installed 8700k, 9900 and 9900k, on all of them the fans start spinning at any light load. It is necessary to steel the processors so that the processor heats up less.
