FYI 8600K 6 Cores, 6 Threads vs. 9900K 8 Cores, 16 Threads DOES make a difference

I hope you also updated your motherboard and did not slap that 9900k into the same board (even if it does work), the VRM’s on the board will not cope well with the 9900k and will very much cause a problem.

Um, source? First, you don’t know what motherboard OP even has; it could be a $400 ultra-high-end Z390 motherboard. Second, if it was even a reasonable motherboard for the 8000 series, it will handle the 9900K just fine, especially if it’s not overclocked.
