Digging into some old thread - I didnt find the perfect info.
I've upgraded my 5k iMac 2019 i'm working on with some 64Gb ddr4, a nice Crucial P5-Plus 2tb (maxed perf on this iMac, close to 2800mbps read and write) and now thinking about upgrading the CPU.
But I didnt find a clear answer about the CPU compatibility.
I've the 6 cores i5 base model. I wonder if i go for the 9700 (not K) as it's cheap and good enough... but maybe it's not worth the effort compared to my i5 6 cores... so let's jump into the devil i9. 9900 (not k would be super nice as the TDP is 65W), but of course, I'm tempted by a K version but i'm a bot afraid about the TDP at 95W. I know that it's compatible but i'm afraid about the fan noise.
Can someone can tell me how the fan is behaving with the devil in its K version?
