Hello! I just bought a new computer and I'm a bit worried that this motherboard is not suited for my processor: Intel Core i9-11900KF (64 GB RAM) or for my graphics card: RTX 3060 (12GB RAM).

I bough this computer so I could do 3D sculpting and animation in Blender, and for gaming; and when I say gaming I mean: Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Dead Space Remake, Resident Evil 4 Remake, etc.

I was expecting a B560 motherboard, which from what I've read, would be much better suited for an I7-11700K processor (these were the specifications of the computer I wanted to buy), but the computer I received has a a different motherboard and this different processor.


I tried talking to the seller I bought it from, telling him the H510M H is a weaker motherboard compared to the B560 but he cut me short saying I'm mistaken, that the difference between them is negligible and I shouldn't worry.
I'm not that tech savy but from what I've read, wouldn't a H510M H motherboard hamper performance on an I9-119KF and a RTX 3060? Wouldn't it hamper perfomance on a i7 - 11700K as well?
 
Is there a parts list that was provided with the system?

I can't identify. Maybe someone else will recognize.
Yes, I found the list. The cooler is listed as: Cooler CPU ID-Cooling SE-214-XT Basic
Also found the specifics of the case: ATX Gaming Design Tempered Glass Thermaltake View 21TG
And the PSU: ATX 750W, 12Cm fan, retail deepcool pf750

The mother board's full specification is: Intel Sk 1200 Gigabyte H510M-H
 
That cooler is inadequate for the CPU. It is only designed for 180w TDP and the CPU can draw more when under max load.

I really don't like your builder. How much did you pay for this system?

Also, the case supports multiple front fans. I can't believe none are installed.

After today I don't like him either. Especially since as a tech noob, I tried telling him why I didn't like what he did and why I think I'll have problems down the line. He kept telling me he has more experience, that I shouldn't trust what I read on the internet, etc.

I paid 7495 RON which is aprox $1630
