Tempting The force is Strong,
Still got to make up my mind on Motherboard.
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-z690-aero-g-intel-z690-ddr5-atx-motherboard-mb-5a6-gi.html I like
but would mean buying DDR5 more money, DDR 4 version i think do me.

Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 ok, But no good due to no Bios Flash button for the 13th gen

Spend £40 more and get the Z690 Strix DDR4, Same nice white theme but has clear CMS and bios flash button on the rear I/O.

Good board, had mine for a year and been solid.

Also consider the MSI Z690 Tomahawk DDR4 mobo, its running my 13700K (after a seamless bios flashback) and 32Gb DDR4 3600 Team group ram like a champ! Can be had for around £250 if you shop around.

Going for a ITX build again in the Tower 100 & going for this
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z690I-AORUS-ULTRA-LITE-DDR4-rev-10#kf from Gigabyte Store
Got nice 10 phase 105c smart power stages & same ALC 4080 Audio as the MSI Z690 Tomahawk
My Asrock B550 Phantom ITX Never saved the bios setting & time/date from the day I got it
After looking at the board I was shocked to find there is no Battery or Wire

DDR5 variant of the Strix Z690-F currently on offer, any good?
Soldato
I built a system with the DDR4 version a few days ago and it is solid and built like a tank, If the DDR5 version is the same minus a different colour scheme and DDR5 then yes.

Good with CL36 5600?

No clue I don't have it to test, You'd need to look as Asus' compatibility lists.

if you use a Z690 MB would you lose any performance with 13900K ?

You're leaving performance on the table if you use DDR4. With mobos it generally comes down to power delivery which affects boost clocks and stability.

DDR4 1:1 4000 C15 1T all tightened, won't be much left on that ****ing table!!!

The vast majority of benchmarks show very little difference in gaming, Some infact show a performance regression with DDR4 pulling ahead. I'm all for faster hardware but DDR5 is not worth it yet, Once the prices and latency comes way down then it'll be worth a look.
