Hi everyone, it’s been a while! After putting my z370 audio workstation to good use for three years I feel it’s time to move on from Mojave and make the switch to OpenCore at the same time.
This also seems like a good time to consider upgrading my hardware since the 8700K is starting to hold me back here and there. I believe my best option would be to swap the board for z490 with either an 10700K or 10850K.
I should be able to reuse all of my other components, making it a very cost-effective upgrade. My priority is to achieve a meaningful performance boost with minimal fuss and cost. Adding TB would be a plus.
So I guess my questions to the hive mind are..
a) more broadly if you consider such an update sensible with respect to the gained performance and overall stability compared to z370.
b) specifically what boards you’d recommend considering everyone’s favorite, the z490 Vision D, seems hard to come by now (would go with that in a heartbeat).
I’ll definitely need a good guide since I have less time to figure things out these days, as much as I enjoy tinkering. This is the main reason I feel I should go with z490 instead of z590, even though the latter is much more widely available now.
Any input appreciated!
