Question Whats a better cpu ram combo?

[BeastHotDogGUY]

is it better using the i7-13700F with 32gb 3200mhz ddr4 or the i7-12700k with 32gb ddr5 6000mhz?

 

[Lafong]

In most situations, I'd vote for the 13700F on a pure performance basis.

But it does NOT have integrated video. The 12700K does.

I don't know if that matters to you at all. It would to me.

That wouldn't change my opinion.

You might have to update the BIOS on the z690 to use the 13700F.

btw that Thermaltake cooler isn't going to handle a 13 gen i7 but this one will. Pair it up with low profile RAM so that there's no clearance issues.

If you want a single tower ARGB cooler so that you can use RGB RAM then this one paired with a locked i7 such as the 12700 / 12700F. It's a five pipe cooler.
