If you're looking for a great processor that works well with the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro, I'd suggest the Intel Core i7-10700K or the AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Both of these CPUs should complement your RAM nicely. You can read more about compatible CPUs in this TechReviewer article: Overview: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 RAM.
The Intel Core i7-10700K is a fantastic choice for gaming and other demanding tasks. Its high clock speed and large cache size make it an excellent match for the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro.
I've been using the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with my Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM, and the performance has been great! It's a solid choice for gaming and everyday tasks. Just remember to check your motherboard compatibility before making any purchases.
Thanks for the suggestions! The Intel Core i7-10700K seems like a strong option. What about its cooling solution? I don't want my CPU to throttle due to overheating.
The Intel Core i7-10700K does require an adequate cooling solution, especially when it comes to overclocking. However, if you're not planning on overclocking, the stock cooler should be sufficient for most situations. If you want peace of mind, investing in a high-quality air or liquid CPU cooler is recommended.
Another thing to consider is the motherboard's compatibility with both your RAM and CPU. Make sure that the motherboard supports the chosen processor and has enough DIMM slots for the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 RAM.
Great advice! I'll check out the compatibility of the components before making any decisions. Thanks everyone for your input!
