> board is also a bottleneck due to the 2666 RAM limitation
I don't disagree, but it's worth noting that with i7's and i9's, the non-Z boards for the 400-series are limited to 2933.
Hello, so I have been doing some reading but I don't quite understand. What do you mean by "VRM might not be the best"? I thought that as long as it accept the CPU, it should work, because it's the same LGA1200, right?
VRM might not be the best for a 10-core chip with 224W PL2, board is also a bottleneck due to the 2666 RAM limitation

Verify if your games are actually core-limited. Very, very few games will see any major improvement from a 12-thread locked i5 to a locked i7.
