Im building a full size ATX 13600k system.

I can get a Msi z690 Unify for the same price of the Asus Z790-a.

Since i’ll run a 6000MHz DDR5 xpm kit I won’t benefit from higher ram clock.

Unify have a lot better VRM section and more connectivity.

What’s your opinioni?

    Z690 Carbon here, running a 13700K and my RAM at 6000. Very happy with the combination, saved a good amount of money vs. a high end Z790, and I’m not missing anything substantial

    Just make sure the Z690 you get allows a bios update without a CPU.
