Hello everyone, I'm putting together a new PC and spending time researching components to understand the current options. I'm particularly interested in power delivery for an LGA1700 board. I'm considering the 12600K processor and might experiment with overclocking, though I'm generally satisfied with the stock configuration. I'm eager to experience the advanced features of a high-end board while trying to save money. Would it be better to stick with a standard setup or upgrade power delivery? Also, I've heard mixed opinions about DrMOS—should I avoid them?

i5-12600K remains manageable even at higher speeds, far less demanding than an overclocked i9-12900KS. A 16+1 setup works well for both CPU and memory. You won’t need the expensive VRM solutions like the ASUS ROG Maximus Extreme—technically, they’re unnecessary.

12600k provides insufficient power to justify using those extremely powerful Z690 racks; without a minimum 280mm rad AIO with 16-phase power delivery, your cooler will be the main constraint no matter which CPU you later upgrade to. Most Z690 ATX units perform adequately even for a 12900k, though Asrock models are exceptions since they offer less value for the same price.

I’d likely choose the AK620 for cooling, which means I shouldn’t face any delays. In a few years I might consider upgrading to a 13th Gen model.
