This deal is great. $400 for the price of what is regularly around $750. Basically paid the price of the CPU and got the mobo and DDR5 32gb ram.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

I got similar bundle from Newegg for $399 - 12900k + Asus TUF Z690 + 32GB DDR5 6000 Very satisified.
hey... i have a question... what bios version did the Motherboard come with?
i got the same bundle and ordered a 14700kf with it and planing to sell the 12900k new and just install the 14700 but I'm worried they didn't update the bios, even though in the listing in newegg it says its "12&13th gen ready"
It had 2703 BIOS. It looks like you need 2803 for 14th gen CPUs - this BIOS update was released after I received the board.
