Considering the pairing of an i9 11900k with a B560M DS3H board seems questionable given your current setup. Your i5 11500 is still functional, and upgrading to the i9 could be worthwhile depending on your needs. The high VRM temperatures and the 150W TDP on the i9 raise concerns about potential damage to the MOSFETs. It would be wise to assess whether the upgrade is justified or if a more stable configuration would be better. Seeking advice on this would be helpful.

Upgrade to LGA1700 version, avoid switching to another 11th-generation processor.

Sure thing! It’s cool you figured that out. For the price of the i9, I could upgrade to a new motherboard, RAM, and the 12600KF. Thanks for the nudge!
