Sorry if this has been flogged to death, but I figure it’s good to keep the discussion up-to-date!
I’ve recently picked up a 14700k and I’m wondering which motherboards are the way to go, or rather, which ones to avoid. Eyeing off the Z790 chipset.
Budget is $500 AUD, but would prefer not to spend any more than I have to.
Thanks in advance.
What motherboard to get with 14700K?
Does i7-14700K support DDR5?
What socket does the i7-14700K use?
I’m thinking a board that is z790. But interested in the opinions on the best overall value price wise vs features that are out there. I’m migrating from a 6th gen i7 laptop with a mobile 1070gtx gpu. I can’t afford the whole setup atm but want to snag the 14th gen motherboard and gpu and a 13th or 12th gen cpu during the Black Friday sales. I’ll grab the gpu later or something super cheap like a 3060 in the interim. I figure getting the 14th gen capable mobo that is backward compatible with the 12th and 13th gen cpus will give me the best upgrade path capable build.
