Hello! Your new 14600KF is exciting. Here are your thoughts:
1. Overclocking this processor makes sense if you need extra performance, but the boost speeds might be sufficient. The B760 is capable for this CPU, though a Z-series board could still work well depending on your needs.
2. For the choice between B760:ASRock B760 Pro RSD4 and Z690: ASRock Z690 PG RIPTIDE/ASRock Z690 PRO RS, I’d recommend checking current reviews and compatibility. If you have other options, feel free to share! Thanks!
I think B series chipsets aren't designed for overclocking, so you should opt for a Z series instead. The differences between Z690 and Z790 are minor, and I wouldn<|pad|> to pay much more for them. If a good Z790 board is available nearby, I'd choose that.
When you spot one of the rare boards with an external clock generator, you can push overclock limits on B-series chips. These parts are extremely scarce, making them nearly nonexistent outside of the B760M PG Riptide (though others exist but aren't in production). If you're between options, the Riptide is worth considering. What’s your budget and where are you looking to buy? You’re likely to find a much better value elsewhere since these boards aren’t especially impressive.
It won't offer much extra space, but Z690/Z790 models provide advantages such as simpler undervolting. Unless the cost gap is significant, it's worth opting for a Z-series board if available. Based on my informal search through PCPartPicker, the Z790 D DDR4 or Z790 UD should be comparable in price and slightly superior depending on your preference for DDR4 versus 5.
There are some specialized B760 motherboards that allow overclocking, though the B760 chipset itself doesn<|pad|> to not. The ASRock Z690 Pro RS LGA 1700 supports overclocking and is a solid choice. The ASRock Z690 EXTREME LGA 1700 also fits the bill and is available on Newegg. Dual LAN boards are popular too, offering good value for around $20 more.
