I purchased this thinking I was getting the K, not the KF but oh well, just as happy with it. The difference is the video capabilities the K version has which does have a slight advantage over this CPU, but for the difference, this CPU is still a solid choice. Rendering video is typically a CPU chore in video software. Premiere Pro does take advantage of the CUDA Cores in a Nvidia GPU as well to help it along. I built my rig with content creation in mind, more than gaming (though never hurts to blast away in a FPS once in a while). This CPU runs great under water cooling. I overclocked all 24 cores to 5.4 Ghz daily running and sit around 40c unless I am tasking it, which it will hit high 80s then. A very good and powerful CPU for sure. It took me a decade to upgrade Frank N Stein PC and Frank approves!
