DON’T BUY A Z790 BOARD - BUY THIS INSTEAD!!

But dude all B series cannot OVERCLOCK all Z series can

It's great to hear from someone who isn't all, "Spend! Spend! Spend!"

Tomahawk b760 ddr5 + i5 13500 for me.

well if you dont want wasting money and looking for budget and high level mobo i offer asus rog strix b760-f gaming wifi

Click Bait. Thumbs down.

"You can't overclock the CPU"...Yeah nah see ya...

So how do you update the bios for the 13th gen CPU?

Z790 always with an intel K processor! Why not use it to its full potential? Why would you pair a K processor with a b660 or b760 no overclocking , limited connectivity. I’d rather pay another one hundred pounds. If you want a b660 or b760 motherboards get a cheap F version intel processor. They pair much better.

what would be good for a 13700k? i need a thunderbolt header

i bought i7 13700k and b760 ddr5 wifi 6 is it gonna be ok with a little overclock?would i have a problem in the future in anyway?

what about for 12900k?

a few days ago my asus tuf z690 board gave out, so i had to find a replacement and instead of getting another z90 board i decided to save some money and go with the msi pro b760m-p ddr4 board and threw in my 12700k and 6650xt and so far b760 board is great for the $100 i dished out for it

can you undervolt on a b760 board?

I am really struggling in between b760 or z790 to pair with a 13700k. I know b760 cannot overclock and do you know if I can still edit the PL1 and PL2 by myself? or is it fixed at auto?

I have a i9 13900KS in a Strix B760 + a 4090... while I often wonder why I didn't go for a Z board it turns out overclocking the i9 13th gen is the last thing I would want to do with just a 360 AIO... I bought the KS variant because it was on sale and they tend to be binned - it wasn't because I wanted to overclock it. Having watched a few videos on side by side benchmarks where the only difference is the MB there is little or no difference in gaming

closed the video at "you can't OC the cpu"

In my country(Bulgaria), the price of ASUS TUF GAMING B760-PLUS ddr5 WIFI is 268 euro.
MSI Pro Z790-A ddr5 wifi is 265 euro.
For my 13700 I got MSI pro z790 mobo and will do it every time at those prices. Yes, there are no blinking lights but it has all that needed.

The vast majority of gamers doesn't use overclocking features because they don't know how to tinker with the CPU and motherboard.
The more advanced users use overclocking features but barely get any noticeble performance improvement because Intel K series CPU already comes "pre-overclocked" out of the box.

B boards are not specific for gaming rather buy a H board B boards are low quality on some points also the VRM are bs on most B boards rather spend more money on a H or a Z at least i know i have better preformence for a 13th/12th CPU and like a 4070 or a 3070 ti. for me a motherboard is very importante is the brain of the pc, using cheap motherborads on good cpu and gpu its a no good

I am currently building a new PC, and I am seriously confuse which CPU should I buy? The Intel i5-13400F or i5-13600KF? I have already bought Gigabyte B760 and RTX 3070 TI.

B760 boards have very low end audio chips.

I would go one step further and recommend buying a micro ATX B760 board. Most of us are only going to install a graphics card so the extra PCI-E slots are wasted on full sized ATX boards anyway and the number of m.2 slots on a micro ATX board are plenty at 3(top slot drive for windows installation and the 2 bottom slots for applications and games with a 3.5" HDD for storage. That is plenty for most people. Some don't even install a graphics card(I can't afford to buy one, not when a good card costs around £500 or more). For CPU I would go with either a i3(if on a low budget) or an i5 or i7 if you got more money spare(make sure to buy one with graphics built in even if you are installing a graphics card, if the graphics card is faulty or fails later you are without a workable PC whilst the card is away on RMA).

I don’t understand why you would spend so much money on a gpu and cpu lets say a rtx 4090 and still be on z690 ddr4 😆 I don’t understand how everyone here is fine with that, if you’re really really tight on money, then go one notch down on gpu and rather make your system quality overall

question. current boards have 1x 8pin for cpu power and additional connectors next to it. sometime a 4pin, somtimes another 8 pin. do i have to connect both if iam not planning on ocing and getting a 13400f anyway? my current board, just has 1x 8pin and supports a 8700k , a 125watt cpu. why would i need 2x8 pin, for a 65 watt 13400?! or a regular non oced 13600k? thinking about upgrading my i7 8700f to a 13600k , set it to 90watt draw max, take my 32gig ddr4 and keep that combo for ~5 years. only thing i have to say: design wise, boards for 13th gen, changed. the look minimalized, not as stylish and blinky, as 10th,11th or 12th gen.. like theres a lot less style.. its more like 8 years ago again

The COOLERS Since they are a must and vary from $60-125 to cool a 13700 to keep below 128-140 how much extra life on a cpu and how much to run one for powering the fans watts over a year of running 5hrs x 360???? if we save $100 on a board NEXT NEXT NEXT. even a PS line filter

RGB headers shows that the world thinks little of humanity. Send the money that's wasted for absolutely NO VALUE to someone for years of food and water. Like the billions shot to hell in the cigarette tobacco and huffing and puffing vaping tattoo world.

So I’m buying a 13700k to pair with my 6950xt what mobo y’all recommend

I will never cheap out on a motherboard VRMs again...did not know about vrms so i bought a cheap one that had 6-phase and it run rot like hell at 105C, Get at least 12 phase with big beefy heatsinks...its 2023 after all and intel 13th gen is super demanding in this part.

you can buy a z790 pro -A for roughly the same price of the B760 TUF so why go B760

JESUS! To call this review a bad one ,it needs to improve a lot!

PCIe 5.0 makes absolutely no sense on a board that doesn't even support DDR5.
By the time PCIe 5.0 will become meaningful, the DDR4 will be the much bigger bottleneck.
Heck, even the 4090 barely loses any performance when running on Gen 3, but imagine running it on a system with DDR3.

$210 and only 5 USB type A ports, only DDR4 and only a budget ALC897 audio chip
Asus's recent budget and mid range boards have been garbage and overpriced
Even AM5 boards are better price to performance than this

Is there no sun where u live?

ew

If you want DDR5 then you have to get z790, only 1 b760 runs ddr5. And The Price for that board is quite expensive

Very Confusing Suggestions As K CPUs Will Always Benefit From Z690 and Z790 Motherboards. B760 Can Never Replace Z Series of Chipsets. Never!!

is with the B760 or the H770 Mainboard undervolting possible? And could I OC the Cpu now or not? What does it mean "only limited to stock clock speed no overclocking"? Thanks in advance :D I´m asking because I ordered a Asus TUF H770 Pro WiFi and a 13600k.

B760 is so ugly

Hey, I'm building a 4090, 13900k 1550w psu system.
Is it compatible with components? and why is it muc cheaper they're exactly same 7800mhz or anything else I didn't get it.

Compared Z790 and B760 but with DDR5. B760 has slightly higher max ram speed (note - max speed, not average speed) and better outer interfaces (usb and etc). In the same time B760 is much more expensive and has worse inner interface (pcie, sata and etc).
So B760 just sucks

Can I use the ASUS TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS D4 mATX Motherboard with the Intel Core i5 13600k

Why buy a dead platform is the better question and if you buy an old platform why do you not buy a B660 board with BIOS flashback.

It’s a shame many high end chipset users of AMD and Intel, with current mobo prices, are being relegated to the ‘budget’ chipsets from their respective manufacturer 😱🥵😡🤬! I do think that we’ll see a small reduction in mobo prices next generation as many consumers aren’t upgrading atm …. Even GPU prices will be in the same boat I feel next generation with many gpus dictating on store shelves 🤣😂😅

Never buy B series mobo if you own an i9 13900K series. Shit cant give enough power for those CPU gen.

Is it good for 13600k

Ok, just bought a z790 apex

I’m not sure you really understand, just how many people there are out here that actually enjoy overclocking their PCs.. Your channel seems to be directly pushing a Non Overclocking narrative, and I can guarantee that your channel is going to have a hard time growing because of that. I just unsubscribed..

I definitely see the value in B760 boards, but the reason that people buy Z boards is for overclocking.
Add to that the improved I/O you mentioned in this video, it's clear that there are a lot of benefits to getting a Z790 for many users.
You brought up some great points for the B760, and it definitely is the better choice for locked CPUs and people who don't have the cash for higher end parts, but I wouldn't outright say "don't buy a Z790".

B760 boards would be interesting if the chipset and specific BIOS allowed for CPU undervolting. There is no clear info on that anywhere - neither from INTEL, nor from the board manufacturers :( If you put there I5 13600K or better CPU, ability to lower core voltages is a must. That's why people are paying more for Z790, or even older Z690 models - because no one sent a clear message, whether undervolting (not "power limiting") is possible on B760 or not :-/
