You're weighing options for your brother's new PC build. The B760 chipset now includes undervolting protection, making it difficult or impossible to lower the voltage further. If you're considering overclocking, you might want to think carefully about the benefits versus the cost of the extra ~100€. A cooler like Thermalright Peerless Assassin could help manage temperatures, but whether it's worth it depends on your specific needs and budget.

Consider a solid B760 like the one listed here for DDR4. Then choose this model for DDR5.

Opt for the B760 with a solid cooler. 13600K is manageable without blowing up like the 13900K. For better performance, consider a 7600 + B650 setup. Spend more on the graphics card.

The undervoltage safeguard stops you from lowering the voltage below the boot-up level. For example, if your system has a +10mV margin but you wish to reset it to zero, you can't do this in XTU; you must adjust it through the BIOS.

Yeah, that's the one I was looking at. Where I live B650 motherboards are more expensive then B760. Between 13600k + B760 and 7600 + B650 I would save around 50€, which is not enough to upgrade GPU from RTX 4700/ 7800xt to something better. Oh, ok. Thank you for info.

What ram are you planning on getting btw? Here's a good kit - G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR) - PCPartPicker

Check compatibility carefully before installing.

That's correct. The Trident Z5 likely won't work well with that RAM, but it seems like a solid option overall.
