Unless things have changed recently, you're wasting the potential of
that K-SKU CPU on a B-motherboard. The K tag indicates the CPU is an overclocker, but that's not something the B-series motherboard will
allow. For the best match you'd want to either save a few pennies and
get a non-K CPU, or spend a few extra and get a Z-series motherboard.

Hi, can someone double check me pls?

I'm about to buy the bits below. Should they all
be ok together? Been a while since I built this
W7 box.
Intel Core i7 12700K 12th Gen Alder Lake 12 Core
Processor
ASUS ROG STRIX B760-A Gaming WiFi ATX Motherboard
Microsoft Windows 11 - Home 64bit OEM - 1 License
WD Black SN850X 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4
Solid State Drive
Kingston FURY Beast 16GB 6000MHz DDR5 CL36 DIMM
Memory

Im hoping it will work with my Nvidia 1050ti card
for now

Cheers people!

Obviously don't get the ASUS ROG STRIX B760-A Gaming WiFi D4 variant,
seems a potential search engine trap to have two names *that* similar.

Kingston FURY Beast 16GB 6000MHz DDR5 CL36 DIMM Memory

The memory support list only says CL40 not CL36, so you might not wring
the last dregs of speed out of the memory.

I went for:

Gigabyte Z790 D DDR4 ATX Motherboard

which takes DDR4 memory and is not designed to overclock. It needs an 8
pin and a 4 pin power supply as well as the standard 24 pin. I have,
within the last few minutes, found all the cables to do this but you may
want to check?

Mine worked without the second power connector but the cable I need should arrive by 1:45 if Amazon does its stuff!

It arrived (not quite the one I ordered but it works) and is fitted, it
has pushed the Novabench score up by about 10% whereas tweaking memory
speed did nothing (perhaps lack of power?).

I found a seller on eBay offering Win 10 licences at £7.98 and it
activated fine, hope future installs will as well!

Turns out mine wont start. Im hoping its just

Fingers crossed for you!

I will start the software transfer tomorrow, lots of stuff that has to be un-installed from the old PC while connected to the Internet so it can
free the licence for a re-install.
