Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
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.

Im building a full size ATX 13600k system.

I can get a Msi z690 Unify for the same price of the Asus Z790-a.

Since i'll run a 6000MHz DDR5 xpm kit I won't benefit from higher ram clock.

Unify have a lot better VRM section and more connectivity.

What's your opinioni?

Z690 Carbon here, running a 13700K and my RAM at 6000. Very happy with the combination, saved a good amount of money vs. a high end Z790, and I'm not missing anything substantial

Just make sure the Z690 you get allows a bios update without a CPU.
