Installation
For our installation, we used a Vertical Open Chassis. Everything fitted nicely, albeit tight. There’s just about enough room in and around the Intel LGA1700 processor socket. We also used a Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL 240 AIO cooler, which seem to handle the load temperatures of the Core i9-13900K.
Beacuse ASRock B760M PG Sonic WiFi is in a micro ATX form factor, it’s much smaller than your standard full-size ATX, so check the size of your graphics card to make sure it can fit. We found that the PCIE 5.0 x16 slot is located very close to the edge of the I/O, which means there’s not a lot of room after mounting your CPU cooler.
BIOS
One the first pages of the BIOS you’ll see the default “Easy Mode” where you can monitor all the system status on this page. Since our DDR5 ram is XMP 3.0 ready, we selected Profile 1 and ran the memory at DDR5-6200 speeds. All other BIOS settings were left on AUTO/Default.
If you enable “Advanced Mode”, you’ll then see all the other options available for tweaking your processor, memory and more. Voltages for memory and processor can also be adjusted here . For overclockers, the BIOS allows CPU and memory overclocking, and you can also set the CPU frequency and voltages too.
Other options in the advanced tab allows users to configure settings for the chipset, storage and NVMe, LEDs, as well as onboard devices such as LAN, audio, and Bluetooth.
For memory compatibility and QVL (qualified vendors list), I recommend you check ASRock’s QVL page here.

Your Cinebench R23 multicore score is way to low. A 13600K will get the same result. A 13900K will score around 40000.
May better monitore hwinfo64 while running benchmarks. May xou need to raise the powerlimit as the 125W PL1 is far too low.
Or the board did some clock stretching, you can try to change LLC level or lower vcore (fixed or offset) and check again the benchmarks.
This is a bug too and will lower the benchmark score as well.
Low score, low temperature…
Our benchmarks are based on “Default” BIOS settings to give an idea of how it performs with no tweaks or tuning… we leave that up to the individual user.
