    Question Wondering what lga 1700 board to use with my i5 12600?

    Maybe someone could tell me what boards are good and one's that I should stay away from for reasons of bad quality. I know some slow down when they get hot from the demand of games ect. Thanks for any help.

    [SOLVED] What build should I keep?

    Ok that made it very clear. That all sounds like great advice. I did not know if I run other apps it will drop performance. Maybe I'll try to return the intel cpu.
