The test configuration:
Here are the different components that equip our test platform. For the publication of these tests, I used the latest BIOS received although new versions will certainly be available in the days to come. Asus being very reactive on the update of its BIOS.
We will also propose you in the coming weeks several overclocking guides for your processor but also for your memory kit with this APEX model.

A quick tour through CPU-Z to make sure everything is in perfect order before we start our tests. We notice that our i5-13600KF is perfectly recognized as well as the DDR4 memory.
Now that our configuration is ready, let’s see if the BIOS is correct for the frequencies of our i5-13600KF.
