Its highly recommended for all LGA1700. It is a solid 10-15c temp drop.

My 13900k is only over 300w during full core loads, which is rare. It’s normally between 80-140w gaming.

Why are you scared?

There is zero hope for 7200mt and 4 sticks. You will be lucky to hit 6000 with 4 single rank sticks. 5200 for 4 dual rank sticks.

I have a 12600k, 12700k, 13700k and 13900k.

All 4 of my LGA1700 cpus looked like that too

None, leave them all on. It’s not an AMD processor that needs 3rd party software and a prayer to run correctly

A solution to a problem that doesnt exist

2600K -> 6850K -> 13900K

Jesus this is getting out of hand. Any CPU from the last 10 years is with fit 1080p

If your limited to 100mbps it’s either the cable or your switch is set to 100mbps for that port.

Z790 usually has an extra NVME slot. If I had nothing I’d go z790.

Plus the z690 will need a bios update to work with the 14700k, so you will need another CPU temporarily to flash it.
