H570 vs B560 with 11700K
H570 vs B560 with 11700K
Hi, comparing the h570 chipsets is interesting. The Asrock H570 itx/ac and Asus B560i Strix look quite similar in price. You were leaning toward the Strix but were bothered by the single USB 3 port. The Asus model likely offers better VRM performance, though I’m not sure if it can handle the 11700k with unlocked power limits. Since you already have a K chip and bought it for 225 new, the Z590 boards are at least double the cost. Let me know if you need more details!
Because it's an i9x build, choosing a CPU isn't such a bad decision unless you ignore the voltage settings. I recommend lowering the voltage and aiming for around 4.6 to 4.8 GHz all-core with about 1.2 volts per core. This should help lower your CPU temperatures. I'm not sure about the specific board details, but most h570 boards tend to be budget models without strong VRM power. Thanks for the info ;-)
