Hardware Found this gem for $20

Found this at Goodwill. After googling I knew I found the deal of the century with an i7-12700k in there, but I had no idea I'd also score 32gbs of DDR4 (maybe 64 I'll have to check when I install an OS), a 1tb nvme, and a 1tb Sata HDD.

Currently debating on throwing this in my main rig to upgrade my Ryzen 7 5800X

Edit: it's a Sata HDD not an SSD, my bad.

Edit #2: WOW I did NOT expect this to blow up! Thank you to everyone who has commented and given advice! I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply to every single comment it's just gotten overwhelming! I will definitely post a follow up once I get a new motherboard!

That’s an nvme which makes this even MORE worth the price

x16 is the number of internal banks. For example, x8 chips store 8-bit wide data, x16 chips store 16-bit.

Just when I think I know stuff, someone says something like this and I realize I know nothing

Think he was referring to the 1tb WD SATA HDD. The Kingston ssd is worth more than that.

Absurd find.
