LOL, complain about overpriced motherboards with few extra features. Then go on to mention you're looking at a 13900KS

My thoughts exactly. Extra £100-200 for a factory overclock, since I've not yet seen a 13900k that can't do 6Ghz on one core.

As already pointed out though a board offers no extra performance, at least the extra money spent on a KS *might* offer something more be that boost clock or temps, or both even. Lots of people buy 'K' or KS parts who don't want to tweak or overclock etc, they just want OOBE and the fastest you can get.

I did get a Z690 board in the end.
A MSI MEG Unify and some DDR5 6000 ram.
Both cheap deals.
Nice. Yeah 12 & 13th gen and Z690 with DDR4 (or DDR5 for a bit more) are fantastic value. AM5 boards are really expensive in comparison, plus the Zen4 CPU's are also very expensive.

seems like the 13900kf I have can run stock 5.5 all core loads (cb23 30min test) at 1.242vcore so like 80c with a simple 360aio
on default asus strix-a d4 likes to think its ok to use 1.41 vcore into the chip under load which is crazy temps (throttling)

Yeah, half the issue we're seeing as mentioned before are the auto voltages + unlimited power draws. Both play into each other. Thus absurd temps.
My take is it that you're going to be a DIY hobbyist, at the very minimum, you can learn the basics of setting voltage and llc.
I wish i wasn't an ITX user.
Can we expect even more amazeballs prices on Black Friday cos im holding out for you13600KF is now only £349 at OcUK and 13600K only £359, fresh stock landed at the stronger pound, making these two even better value for money.

Another £100 and we will be only slightly more expensive than the 12600k overclockers had at launch13600KF is now only £349 at OcUK and 13600K only £359, fresh stock landed at the stronger pound, making these two even better value for money.
Prices are still nuts but at least they are going the right way.

Just about

No, and i dont think they ever did. Z690 supports 2 generations, as usual

Two year cycle. Has to be said every time I upgrade (given how long CPUs last) I want a new motherboard with all the new features.
Intel do need to stretch this to 3 years as clearly many others do just update your CPUs throughout the cycle.

If you are buying into LGA1700 now then yes, that would apply in this case, as 13th Gen will be the last supported on this socket. If you bought in on 12th Gen then you could do a pointless upgrade to 13th.
I think I'll stick with AMD then. Thank you
