Hello, coming from Nvidia thread. I am currently using Alienware R12 which is heavily bottlenecked by the motherboard.

I am thinking to move the CPU, GPU, and RAM over to a new board.

The CPU is i7 11700F, I know the CPU is not overclockable but I kind of a fancy a motherboard with rich features.
Would either TUF Gaming Z590 Plus WIFI or Prime Z590-A be a good choice?

Any particular model would you recommend?

More than 1 NVME ports, I would love to have 2. Alienware only provide one. More USB ports and I generally find high end chipset has better motherboard design.

I always have this impression that mid-range chipset cut short on ports and features. I don't think I will fit a K, unless Dell offers me a cheap upgrade to 11900K (which I think doesn't really improve performance that much?).

But I have question, will B560 allow me to adjust the TDP of 11700F? 11700F without adjustment constantly throttles down to 65W TDP, leaving my Cinebench result to a lowly 10k (lifting the TDP to 175W pushes the result to 13.5k). I see 5600X can do 15k easily.

2. The Alienware R12 that I have, don't have video output. They have a type C output though I am not sure if you can use a type C monitor for this purpose though.

So which B560 board would you recommend? I go see see

Wow nice!

But how come I can't find B560 boards in Lazada. Can't check the price.
I checked Idealtech, the price is around RM600 to RM900. If close to 900 then I top up to 200 to get Z590

By the way, do you know how far is 11700F against 11900K on gaming performance?

Hahaha wait, I got it wrong, I mean 5800x did 15k, not 5600x

Can F series do all core boost to max? That's the TDP adjustment right?

How do I tune my RAM? H series board can do that too?
I am just wondering how good is the Kingston HyperX Fury RAM given by Dell...
