So...I've been trying to plan a build and was about to pull the trigger on either a 12900k or 13700k (microcenter bundles), but when I looked at the reviews of the motherboards included (similar motherboard in both bundles, 12900k has the V, 13700k has the P), I started noticing that some of the reviews were bad. While they dont look AS bad as what a lot of the AMD bundles are dealing with, it's enough to give me pause to buy.

So...how bad is this model? Is it really as bad as some people say it is? What are your experiences with it? The other parts of the bundle look great, it's mostly the motherboard on this one that looks sketchy.

EDIT: 12900k bundle: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006593/intel-core-i9-12900k,-asus-z790-v-prime-wifi-ddr5,-gskill-ripjaws-s5-32gb-kit-ddr5-6000,-computer-build-bundle

13700k bundle: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006461/intel-core-i7-13700k,-asus-z790-p-prime-wifi-ddr5,-gskill-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

I went back to asus after a series of problems with 2 different asrock boards. (X570 steel legend that was starting to flake and a z490 board that completely died)
