Hey All,

Building a new PC now and selecting components, with 14th Gen and ML around the corner, is it worth getting the motherboard now while I wait for the CPU ordering, or is there no news on a new updated chipset yet?

Thanks.
 
Could consider Z690 as well, it's also supported if you wanted to save a few pennies.

Personally would wait to see what 14th gen refresh looks like in actual reviews before diving in.
 
If you do buy something, make sure it has flashback, but I wouldn't, because we don't know yet what compatibility will be like.
 
More wanting to buy a Z790 board as the one I want is in spec and its rare to find a silver board lol. So was hoping it would be good going into 14th Gen.

Thanks.

It was only a question?

I'd not seen that thread before and to be honest I'm struggling to see what they are talking about... I don't get any 'latency' in windows switching apps or searching files. It all seems highly subjective opinion, whatever it is they are talking about - they don't seem to be able to quantify what they are saying.
