Yeah dude. That’s like buying Premium fuel and putting in a Prius.

Thx for response :) will go for z790

Z690 or Z790. Both works. So if you find a better z690 for the price get that one I suggest.

Z690 has limited ddr5 speeds.

First of all how much ram speed you need considering that most systems at high speed not stable. And intel doesnt benefit as much as AMD when it comes to memory speed. Correct me if I am wrong. Second, you are telling me you would pay 299$ for z790 Tomahawk rather than MEG Z690 Ace for 249$ for instance.

The Meg has an Intel ethernet chip. I wouldn't want that. The z790 steel legend isn't much more.

It's fine, you are not going - cannot overclock a 14900k frankly.

What sure you using your pc for?

For that cpu that motherboard. Maybe it is not that terrible but still aa bad choice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Most people won't OC that cpu anyways, since it's already going to run at 95c on most AIO coolers. I have no idea how the vrm on that is. Could be fine. The k CPUs clock higher than the non k. There is still a reason to get them since they aren't power restricted. I don't know if undervolting or other features work on b760. If they do, I'd just stick to that.

Bad idea. You should not pair an i7/i9 K series CPU on a B760 board. The reason is a feature called Current Excursion Protection (CEP). CEP will apply additional voltage to your CPU and thus it will draw much more power and run much hotter - even to the point of thermal throttling. On B series boards, CEP cannot be turned off, while Z series boards will allow you to turn it off.
