I've checked the Z690 paired with a 13600k and heard some concerns about Gigabyte's BIOS performance. Would this cause significant issues? Could it be manageable, or would you need to consider another motherboard? Link provided for more details.
They're okay. It takes some time to adjust, but they're definitely manageable. I wouldn't skip them, and they're currently among the most cost-effective options available. I wouldn't choose a board from Gigabyte's Z690/Z790 series. Their memory support is quite poor. The 3600MT/s speed is inconsistent—sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If you're aiming for DDR4 to cut costs, opt for an MSI Z690-A Pro. For a upgrade to DDR5, invest in a Z790 board, as they offer much better memory support compared to the Z690 models, particularly from Gigabyte.
