psu calculators often fall short, similar to bottleneck models that don’t handle sustained loads above 450w under stress tests. Your 600w setup should still perform adequately, and your current motherboard is likely to throttle even with a fan if you’re getting a good price. If you managed to find a solid deal, it’s worth considering.
You're using the Z690 and 12600KF with a budget cooler that performs well—no throttling at full load and no crashes. Appreciate the support!
