A:AnswerIt’s going to take a few months for them to be available to purchase anywhere. You can still get it with random drops through Best Buy, newegg, etc. I used nowinstock to secure mine.
A:AnswerYes, to support the 13th gen CPUs you'll need to update your bios on this motherboard. Easy task. You don't even need to install the CPU for the update.
A:AnswerAny LGA 1700 intel processor will work. Aio fit well depending on pump block. Make sure aio comes with an adapter for LGA 1700. This does not come with that adapter.
A:AnswerThere are rumors the 13th gen will have LGA 1700 socket so if that’s true the answer would be yes. Tbh future proofing is impossible, i say just go for it instead of always waiting for the newest and biggest.
