13600k: from asus B760 to msi Z690 (alien.top)
 

It may be a bias based on my personal experience but I struggled for weeks trying to tweak a 13600k on a TUF B760.

Bad voltage stability and spikes. Insta-throttling and low benches performance, while B760 is capable to handle a 13600k on the paper.

The black friday gave me the opportunity to try a Z690 Unify.

Out of the box (no xpm) it performed better with 20°C less under load, total stability and lower auto-voltage (by default, no undervolted yet).

System:

  • Corsair DDR5 6GHz xpm
  • Samsung 980 pro 2TB
  • Thermalright Phantom Spirirt SE
  • iChillx3 4070
  • a rusty huge old case with a DVD reader.

TL;DR You may need a good z690/z790 (no B760 or H770) for a 13600k even without overclock.

Just get 192+ GB DDR5 Ram. 1 GB per tab should be fine.

Never used a GB mobo but you can try to change the load line calibration switching between presets.

Also i had the opposite bad experience with with B760 and 13600kf. Abnormal power draw and voltage spikes. Voltage fine tuning didn't solved the problem.

Only solution was to switch to z690/z790.

Try to monitor the p-core frequencies, if they goes under 5.1GHz during test the cpu is not getting enough Watts or Volts.

Z690 vs Z790 different tiers (alien.top)
 

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?

Is the system throttling somewhere? (I know 14th should behave better than 13th but silicon quality may net be the same)
