2x8GB HyperX Fury 2133 Overclock
so it feels like a waste because the unlocked stuff is for overclocking and you are buying a stuff with overclocking function. whether you buy a lambogoni or a used cheap car is your business, but the z board and k cpu are designed for overclocking, so for overclocking enthusiasts it will truly feel like a waste while you there is no need for overclocking. So it should be locked things with the same specifications, design, performance. The fact that you buy one of the components that has an overclocking feature and pay expensive but don't do anything overclock ever, is clearly a waste, I feel sorry for him if he or someone else only cares about the characters or the rumor that z and k are something cool by its name, I feel cool if I own it and pay expensive. Z and k are for overclocking, there are also many very beautiful, cool b boards design like z boards (only b has differ name z), and non-k cpu's will also be cheaper. yes my thought it doesn't matter what someone wants to buy, but personally when I look at that stuff I always want and have to overclock it, then I recommemd someone overclock to make full use of, like a suggest. ok, so that's my thought, but you can do whatever you want.
What is expected and what actually exists are two separate matters. Ultimately, the buyer's responsibility isn't about purchasing a K-series chip without overclocking—it's more about the manufacturer not providing consistent hardware. A clear example is the comparison between i5-13600 and i5-13600K; you can find more details here: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cp..._i5_13600k.
In many cases, the i5-13600K performs better than the i5-13600, especially in terms of P-cores. The base clock speeds differ significantly—i5-13600K runs at 3.5 Ghz compared to 2.7 Ghz for i5-13600—and e-cores are also faster on the K-series.
If i5-13600 matched exactly with i5-13600K, only the K-series would offer unlocked multiplier options, and someone buying a K-series without overclocking might end up wasting their money. However, i5-13600 and i5-13600K are not the same. The K-series also provides more L2 Cache (11.5 MB vs 20 MB) and other improvements.
Regarding Ryzen processors, all can be overclocked. Should only enthusiasts be able to purchase Ryzen CPUs? No. There are differences in chipset versions as well—such as the number of PCI-E lanes. Intel’s 600-series chipsets vary widely; for instance, Z690 offers 28 PCI-E lanes, while H670 has 24, and B660 even fewer at 16. H610 has the fewest at just 12. These differences mean someone needing a lot of PCI-E lanes should avoid certain models simply because they don’t use them.
