Seems like it’s not loud every time I’m playing.

But I have another issue: I’m using a Z690 motherboard for a 13700K. I acquired 3dMark and my CPU score seems low. And the motherboard won’t run my ram at its full speed.

Also, I have 3 m.2 slots and the motherboard won’t recognize drives in one of the slots.

I did some googling and this is all common when using an Asus z690 mobo with 13th gen.

Not sure yet. I should’ve went z790 from the start.
But when I was looking into it originally; people on Reddit were all, “There’s no point in going z790 blah, blah.”

Could a bios update help with the ram speed? As for the m.2 slot not being recognized, I think that it may be sharing the chipset of the PCI slots and taken off line if a certain PCI slot is used. I have two m.2 slots and am using the one further down from the cpu. Supposedly the one closer to the cpu runs faster but whatever. The one I'm using has a dope heatsink so I used that.

Already updated the bios. But I’ll double check the motherboard manual about the m.2 slot.
