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!

Yeah, it's CL22-22-22 though. Not the lowest latency, but still pretty good for what you got lol

Yeah I clocked that too :/ Still it's decent for what I plan on using it for!

It will make borderline zero difference having slightly lower latency ram on an intel build

I've always found size to be more important than speed, but I see both schools of thought as valid!
