What's a good mobo to pair with 12900k cpu?

Posted by HeroDanny@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments

Building a productivity PC, I settled on the 12900k since it meets my needs. I am simply looking for advice on what a good mobo is to pair with it (please don't try and talk me into AMD I already explored that avenue and have my mind made up. I would like to keep the focus on a good mobo for the 12th gen i9). Just looking for something that has multiple usb c ports and built in wireless. I do mostly productivity but some gaming. I'd like for multiple m.2 slots. Leaning towards msi or asus.

You're on a sub that advices new PC builders on choices based on reasonability. You've chosen to buy an overpriced CPU that's not only over 3 years old, but also houses E-cores that are terrible for (productional) professional grade software. You've chosen a CPU that consistently hits thermal limits with the best and most expensive cooling solutions and has a tremendous power draw doing so, making it one of the worst products for any sort of prolonged stress, such as productional software. And now you're asking for advice on overpriced motherboards with outdated features to fit with your terrible CPU choice. You can't expect people to line up and not judge you. Again, this is a sub for advice based on reasonability, not the opposite.

Even with the disclaimer you still do it.
