I want to make sure before purchasing the MB, that my cpu will run properly ? if...
You should get a z690-z790 board , some b660-760 put too much voltage in the cpu making it overheat
and since its a b u cant play with voltages
calm sinew
You should get a z690-z790 board , some b660-760 put too much voltage in the cpu...
isnt there a UVP option ?
cant i play with that to control the heat
jolly ferry
you can lower the voltage but your clock speeds will get lowered too
i know some people who really regret buying a b760 with a 13600k
if you are unlucky the board will put too much voltage and ur done
unless you lower the voltage , but you really lose on clock speeds
calm sinew
i watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sxhEpDqqUY
can you tell me if its valid
i am reading around that its ok as long as i do the correct settings
calm sinew
and with it the performance isnt what you want ?
jolly ferry
no my z790 is great
calm sinew
ohh sry i confused things
jolly ferry
the b760-b660 is the prob
and i dont advice buying a b660 anyway , these boards had problems
the thing that holds the cpu into place was bending the cpu overtime
calm sinew
the problem is its the only one available for me right now
jolly ferry
oh
calm sinew
so i will wait for someone with hand-on experiance with my scenario to judge
jolly ferry
cant u buy it from somewere else?
calm sinew
is the difference between b760 and b660 big ?
jolly ferry
or a z690
jolly ferry
is the difference between b760 and b660 big ?
i dont really know , but i know that b660 bend cpus
calm sinew
cant u buy it from somewere else?
sadly they are at least 2x the normal price and get delivered like 3 weeks from now xD
calm sinew
i dont really know , but i know that b660 bend cpus
the slot bends the cpu itself ?

You’ll cpu will be fine
calm sinew
You’ll cpu will be fine
what about the performance ?
violet grove
I promise
jolly ferry
it rusn fine
violet grove
It’ll run full performance
violet grove
H610 will run bad but that’s it
calm sinew
so if i undervold it, it should be okay-ish correct ?
violet grove
And h710
jolly ferry
unless you can change it with intell XTU? idk havent tried
violet grove
so if i undervold it, it should be okay-ish correct ?
U don’t need to undervolt
jolly ferry
so if i undervold it, it should be okay-ish correct ?
you cant undervolt it without losing performance
jolly ferry
i've seen ppl on other discord getting 1.4V in their 13600k 
violet grove
i assume the cooling is adequate no ?
Yep
Cooling has VERY little to do with the mobo
Promise you’ll be fine
calm sinew
Cooling has VERY little to do with the mobo
yeah i understand, i was trying (in my head) to see if i can resolve the overheating issue with that case
violet grove
Just look at the differences between mobo chip sets and see if you’ll be fine(you’ll be fine)
calm sinew
Promise you’ll be fine
ty ❤️
violet grove
Np
calm sinew
can either of you tell me if this video is valid :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sxhEpDqqUY
this guy is advising to undervold by 0.150v
saying it reduced the heat by 30c
violet grove
You just can’t overclock on b660
violet grove
I think that’s outdated
USB versions depend on specific mobo models
But overclock info is correct
jolly ferry
u sure u can UV with b660? i heard people on other discord regretting buying one cuz they cant UV and their cpu runs real hot
violet grove
u sure u can UV with b660? i heard people on other discord regretting buying one...
Look it up
Idk
I have an Amd chip
jolly ferry
yes UV helps a lot
i didnt really tried to UV with my old b760 board 
so i cant really answer
Just got feedback from people
with b760-13600k or even 13700k
calm sinew
i see, i will wait for someone with hands-on experience with my case then
violet grove
Gaming : Amd price performance > intel price performance
jolly ferry
if you dont count all the problems that comes from using amd
violet grove
Productivity : intel > Amd
violet grove
if you dont count all the problems that comes from using amd
None 💀
violet grove
All issues are fixed
calm sinew
jolly ferry
instead of 13600k
and i've seen slow boot , crashes , expo not working
and more shit
calm sinew
i wish i had all those options to pick from
violet grove
and i've seen slow boot , crashes , expo not working
At launch
I understand getting intel
jolly ferry
i never had amd :/ but i heard that the 7800x3d is a beast when it works correctly
before had like a 8700k
violet grove
idk when did they launched
Dec 2022 I think
violet grove
Nah I wouldn’t regret
jolly ferry
yeah i dont regret
violet grove
very happy with my 13600k anyway
It’s a great chip
jolly ferry
i know its great
calm sinew
i waited a month and i got the wrong mb for my case xDD glad you guys are having many options
violet grove
Might want to check microcenter for bundles
Ig you already bought ur cpu but you can always return
I saw a 12900k bundle with a z690 and ddr5 for 450
jolly ferry
12900k means lots of heat tho
calm sinew
I saw a 12900k bundle with a z690 and ddr5 for 450
damn thats amazing
jolly ferry
but yeah that deal is insane
sadly no microcenters in europe
u got some insane deals
jolly ferry
i waited a month and i got the wrong mb for my case xDD glad you guys are having...
wdym? u can have a matx board in a atx case
but if u have a ATX in a matx case might be a prob tho
calm sinew
wdym? u can have a matx board in a atx case
its nzxt h1
i order mATX MB by mistake
the case takes only mini not micro 😦
jolly ferry
is it the nzxt h1 v2?
calm sinew
no the original h1
violet grove
calm sinew
you know ur case has a risk of catching on fire?
yeah i got the replacement screws xD
i am jumping through many hoops to get this build done
jolly ferry
haha yeah
violet grove
Lol
calm sinew
tiny pc with huge power xD
jolly ferry
what gpu u getting?
violet grove
What gpu?
calm sinew
3070ti
violet grove
Oh we had the same question
calm sinew
i have it on a i7-7700k
jolly ferry
2nd hand 3070 ti?
calm sinew
i had originally a 3070 which broke down, the seller replaced it with a 3070ti for free
calm sinew
did the gpu just die or it was a fan or something?
at some point whenever i turned my pc it would show green pixels and no pictures
i read about it online and it said it was a manufacturing problem
calm sinew
i'd already used it for around 6months , then i got a free upgrade
jolly ferry
damn 6 month after getting it it died
actually my gpu 3 month after i got it already has a dead fan 💀
calm sinew
and i bought it when gpus where high in prices
jolly ferry
i need to replace it or get a refund
calm sinew
actually my gpu 3 month after i got it already has a dead fan 💀
u cant replace it ?
oh good
calm sinew
where i live (saudi arabia) not many options
jolly ferry
and my gpu doesnt go higher than 60-65° so i dont really care honestly
calm sinew
btw all i am doing is just to run zelda TOTK at 60+ fps xDDD
among other casual gaming :3
jolly ferry
i use my pc almost just to play apex legends lmao
upgrading from my old pc almost changed nothing
except i play more AAA games
calm sinew
the things we do for our favorite games
calm sinew
except i play more AAA games
i got 100+AAA games on my steam collecting dust
jolly ferry
i finished red dead redemption recently
one of the best games i ever played
i cant play anything now cuz nothing will be as good as rdr2 i'm sad
i'm looking for THE game but cant find it 😢
violet grove
i'm looking for THE game but cant find it 😢
Starfield hopefully will be that game
I hope
50% chance I’ll say
