Question B760 versus B660 ? Also question about VRM

[Yegor Medvedev]

Hi everyone!
I wanna buy 12400 with possible upgrade to 12xxx or 13xxx "K" (no overklock). The pc is for gaming (full hd 60+ fps max settings), Photoshop and after effects (ps and ae is hobby non professional). The gpu will be 4070 ti, 32 gb ddr4.

It's usually advised to go for Gigabyte b660 gaming x or MSI b660m pro a. Sadly in my country these mobos are (for example) b660 gaming x is $180 but b760 gaming x is $120 (cause of lack of b660).

So i was wondering are they the same power, stability and vrm wise? Will it be ok to go for b760 in my case?
I know about the defence in bios for both and that i have to upgrade it for 13xxx. The question is power, stability and vrm.
Also no WiFi needed on the mobo.

Both are fine for 12400. I would say avoid putting either core I9 as the vrm are not likely to be able to handle it. There isn't much of difference between b660 and b760. Getting a 13 th gen cpu will require a bios update...

And if upgrade to 12600k or 13600k (not gonna overklock) this mobo will do?

Yeah that's fine. The i5 13600k uses about 180w on full load so your should be fine
