Credit to other members from my latest post they have pointed out to me that dsh3 mobo has bad VRM so I wanted to ask if it would be better to have 12600kf(or 12600) with msi b660 pro A OR 12700 with b660m dsh3 gigabyte. IK it is better to have z690 with k series BUT I am not planning to...

I have heard that k series excels in overclocking but IDK if by that means manual overclocking or does it achieve these results on its own(I am not willing to overclock manually anyway) . So I have planned to update to 12th gen Intel. Found some good deals for either z690m dsh3 gigabyte with i5...
