Go with this. A K isn't worth it if you aren't over clocking.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you don't care about overclocking, there is absolutely no real world difference between this and the K series.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thermals won't matter if you're not overclocking. I'm using this with an NZXT case as well with the air cooler it comes with, and it runs pretty cool. Thermals on your video card will be a much bigger issue.

It has a lower TDP rating at 65 watts and also comes with the heat sink/ fan combo in the box as well. The K unlocked is 95 watts and does not come with the heat sink /fan combo. You could also look at the Intel - Core i9-10900 which has the same TDP at 65 watts but goes up to 5.2 GHZ with turbo boost and no need to overclock.
