12600KF + B660 Board -- What do I lose?

[RadiatingLight]

Pretty simple question: I'm not super up-to-date with the minutiae of what features intel locks to Z-series boards. I'm building a PC for a friend who will not overclock, and was thinking of pairing a 12600KF with a B660 motherboard. (since there's no 12600F Non-K). Other than overclocking (which they won't use anyway), what else do I lose? Can B-series boards still hit the 125W TDP and reach full boost clocks? What about Mulitcore enhancement? Thanks for all your help.

They lose nothing besides ocing.

CPU overclocking specifically. B660 still supports manual RAM OCing and/or XMP. I think a lotta B660 boards are less likely to have PCIe 5.0 (they have 4.0 instead), but unless you need even faster SSDs, that won't be a worry for a damn while yet.

If B660 overclocking is still something you want to explore, there are a number of boards that allow it.

The 12600k will  turbo to 4.9GHz if it needs to but, no game really even needs that, so OCing is totally pointless.  You will be fine with really any B660 so long as it has an 8-pin power connecter for CPU power.
