I am running this CPU and a Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Ultra. I only have a RTX3060Ti but I was able to play DIV with almost maxed settings at 2k. I had 32GB of RAM but I think DIV beta had a memory leak cause it was using almost 29GB so I upgraded to 64GB of RAM so we'll see if they fixed that leak or glitch with the beta happening this weekend!

If I could justify, I would purchase this kit for one of my other desktops I have. Highly recommend! I was a little leery of the bending bracket this generation of CPU's have... so I purchased this plate from amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1 to help support the CPU cooler. If you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, there have been tests by incredibly talented people that show thermal paste and cooling is uneven with stock brackets on this 12th and 13th generation of motherboards. So certain parts of your CPU may get much hotter than they should be getting... possibly reducing performance or even lifespan. Adding that 3rd party bracket will allow the heatsink to sit properly and flush and not bend or warp any parts of the socket.. keeping everything uniform.
I use a closed loop liquid cooled cooler for all my builds.... even though I don't overclock, but I feel it is more efficient than air.

Here is a link to my hardware via CPUz

Curious myself!
DDR4 to DDR5 is negligible in real life
. Won't feel a thing.

If you will selling next year then DDR5 is the way to go for resale value next year.

Does anyone know how well Newegg does returns ? I ordered the same processor a few days ago with the z690-p version MB - A couple of Ddr4 memory sticks ... Thinking of returning back once i get them and getting this instead.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank gamingdroid

Quote from Parrotbird :
Isn't this a fantastic deal or am I missing something here? Also what does the A in Z690 stand for? Thank you!
Apparently MSI lost their private certificate for firmware signing and have no way of invalidating it.

Asus on the other hand is voiding your warranty if you update your motherboard with their firmware.

LMAO!!!

Oooh this is a good deal. I pounced on a deal for the 13th gen version CPU alone for $240.

Might just buy this and sell off the 12700K. DDR5 RAM hurts though
