PC build walkthrough: i5-13600K, Z690 mobo, Thermalright Frost 140 cooler

Walking through main parts of my new PC build: Installing the Intel i5-13600K CPU on my Z690 AORUS ULTRA motherboard, and showing how to mount the Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 V3. This cooler (and others in the family, listed below) requires a special mounting bracket to fit the LGA1700 socket, and I show how to install both the mounting bracket and the cooler. Also, some brief footage of me installing the motherboard assembly into my Fractal Design Focus 2 PC case.
