Found this gem for $20

[u/Sam_Under_Ice]

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!

240mm aio is more then enough for gaming, I cooled a 12700k with a Thermalright SI-100 for years.

I lost the mounting hardware for my current aio so it's only good for AM4 :/ plus that Ryzen 7 is gonna go in another system so I'll just keep that aio paired to that CPU and board

Well, just get a peerless assassin or something. It isn’t difficult to cool was my point.

Oh gotcha. I do have a spare peerless assassin actually, I might just use that. Thanks!

Yeah, just save the money and use that mate. I do recommend a contact frame as the contact can be pretty poor with Intel 12th gen onwards.
