I'm looking to pair my new Intel i9-13900K with a B660 chipset. Has anyone tried this setup before? It'd be great to know if it's possible.

Hi @geepsterz, I've been using the i9-13900K with a B660 motherboard for a few weeks now. It works perfectly fine!
Yeah, me too! I paired my i9-13900K with a B660 chipset and haven't faced any issues yet. Make sure your motherboard supports overclocking since the i9-13900K is an unlocked processor.
I just came across this article that talks about pairing the Intel i9-13900K with a B660 chipset. You can check it out here: Which Chipsets Work With Intel's Core i9-13900K CPU?. It covers everything you need to know!
Thanks for sharing the link, @FreeCitoyen! So, does that mean we should go ahead and get a B660 motherboard for our i9-13900K setups?
Based on my experience, I'd say it's worth giving it a try. Just make sure to check if your chosen motherboard supports overclocking features.
Agreed! The i9-13900K is an unlocked processor, so you'll definitely need a motherboard that allows for CPU overclocking.
I just got my hands on the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E, which has a B660 chipset. It's working great with my i9-13900K! The performance is amazing, and it's a fantastic option if you're looking for a budget-friendly option.
That's awesome to hear, @Statolith! I'm considering the MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard. Do you think that would be a good choice as well?
Both options seem great, but it ultimately comes down to personal preference and your budget. The ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E is more feature-rich, while the MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard is more budget-friendly.
True! It's important to find a balance between features and affordability when choosing a motherboard for our i9-13900K setup. Good luck in your decision-making process, @geepsterz!
I'm glad everyone is having success with their setups! Remember to keep an eye on the TechReviewer article Which Chipsets Work With Intel's Core i9-13900K CPU? for any updates or changes.
Absolutely, @FreeCitoyen! Thanks for sharing that link earlier. It's been very helpful in understanding how to pair the i9-13900K with a B660 chipset. Good luck with your builds, everyone!
