Unless I'm missing something, a 7th gen Celeron would be a downgrade, since Z390 supports 8th and 9th gen. You'd need a modded (unofficial) bios to support 7th gen, which there isn't much motivation to do, since you're going backwards.

hi bonehead,

I'm just about to u/g my system (See my pc specs) to a i9-9900K, delide + Grizzly LM with Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X mobo.

What's your cpu voltage + temps like on your system, as I see in your specs it's clocked @ 5.2Ghz ??

regards

CPU is also delidded, but I recently backed it down to 5GHZ, and kept the voltage @1.365v, with avg temps ~25-33c, also bear in mind that I have 11x 140mm HAF fans (3 of which blow directly over the cpu @1000-1500rpms) & a gigantic case with massive airflow in & out too :)

Not you, OP
oops my bad, sorry :roll:

hi m8,

Thanks for that.

Mine is a Thermaltake Core P7 open case with customer w/c loop and NO fans, except of the radiator.
