Dan - Wow that was an extremely informative post, thank you! I do prefer Intel CPUs, so I think I will do my build with an i7 8700 while also setting the "long power duration" to 95W. I did see that the v4 of the case is in the works, I looked around the the web for a release date and didn't...

I have to admit I'm a bit confused when you say the L9i can't cool 95W. Dan said above that any CPU will work with this cooler as long as I set the "long power duration" to 95W (or undervolt) right?

Myzhi, can you explain to a noob (me) what settings you changed specifically with the z390 to undervolt and keep tempts in 70-80C with the 9700K? Are you using the Noctua cooler?

Thanks Dan! Does this work with both the MSI and Asus boards? Is there really any point in going above the 8400 using the Noctua cooler and this BIOS setting?

Maybe the i5-8600 would be the right choice to keep the TDP at 65W?
