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

Plenty of z690 boards sub £200, brand new, with 2.5gbe.
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)
I wish i wasn't an ITX user.Plenty of z690 boards sub £200, brand new, with 2.5gbe.
Can we expect even more amazeballs prices on Black Friday cos im holding out for you .13600KF 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.
Could do with some deals on boardsCan we expect even more amazeballs prices on Black Friday cos im holding out for you .
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.
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.
Does intel still change sockets every year so you have to buy a new mobo each time you upgrade the CPU?
No, and i dont think they ever did. Z690 supports 2 generations, as usualDoes intel still change sockets every year so you have to buy a new mobo each time you upgrade the CPU?
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.Does intel still change sockets every year so you have to buy a new mobo each time you upgrade the CPU?

I think I'll stick with AMD then. Thank youIf 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.
