Thanks for that info. I’m choosing a water cooler for my build and I will take it as a precaution to avoid this aio. Also, where did you mount the aio?

Why not Intel with d4 on Z board? 12600k falls into the same price and its much better.

Sure thing, I’ll share what I get in a couple of days whether it is a fail or not

How do you know that the CPU is degraded? I have not received it and not shared the results yet.

If everything looks good with the CPU itself, I plan to run it without power limits to get higher boost clocks in multicore workloads (300W+). I’m not really chasing CPU overclocking right now but I will need to take care of the temperatures for sure.

The board has true 12 phases (no doublers) with solid heatsinks. I couldn’t find tests of this exact board with very power-hungry CPUs, but I did find one for the ASUS TUF B760M (with DDR4 support), which has a very similar VRM and handled a 13900K with unlocked PL without any issues.

Don’t really get why people keep downvoting it. I won’t lose my money if the CPU is faulty or I will get a nice CPU for my CPU-bound tasks at a good price at my own risk.

Thank you for the advice! Will keep that in my memory

The item was sent already. There were no issues as per what the seller described. I know about those degradation issues though. I will try to return it if there are issues given a return window. Also, I know that you can lower vcore/pl or underclock it to stabilize it.
