Simple, slightly older board. But, a free 500W PSU and a couple SSDs make this a quick base for a box for someone else. I'm considering it as a home for my 12600K, as a gift-able machine (with the 14700K on the horizon). Just add CPU+RAM+case.

Wow... Nice deal

And free shipping.

DDR4 is the only meh.

Supports 12th and 13th gen. Maybe 14th when it's out?

Planning on a 14th gen upgrade, so, in for one to use as a cheap path to kick the 12th and 13th gen cpu's down.

Folding box?

seems like a good combo with https://hardforum.com/threads/intel-cpu-deals-newegg-12600kf-for-155-plus-others.2030811/
but is this true about the VRM power limit https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comm...10mg_ddr4_lga1700_micro_atx_good_for/ju9fyr8/

That MSI board has a hard 110w VRM power limit, which is slightly below the 12400's desired 117w turbo limit.

No one should be buying an H series MB thinking they are going to drive K series cpus and win Cinebench contests. But, for normal use they are fine price/performance, especially when paired with low to mid tier non K cpus.

The deal here is getting the 500w PSU and two small drives with the MB for $75 shipped.

OOS

What's in the box(es)?

Old, name brand stuff. I'll use the MB, M.2 SSD and PSU to kick the 12th gen down as the 13th will take its spot when I get the 14th later this year. Have to make some room. Will likely spin up a DC build. I'll put the ssd into a laptop I'm passing to a family member soon. So, $75 bucks is decent for me.

Kingston 120G ssd
Adata 256G sata ssd
Thermaltake 500w psu - Haswell ready!

Yup, seems s good deal if it fits the situation. I was close to pulling the trigger, but it was OOS when I went back to buy it. Inshallah, right?
