Closest Microcenter to me is about 4 hours away. I cry myself to sleep every time I see awesome deals at their store. I plan to make a field trip there some day.

Missed this one last week. I'm glad they brought it back. The company I work for is in Columbus Ohio, so I reserved the CPU and free motherboard. I'll have our Tech pick it up tomorrow and ship it to me. I texted the $25 dollar off CPU coupon to him, I'll post if it works. Thanks OP!

I'm very tempted to buy this to replace my 12600k, and sell the mobo and my 12600k. I'd basically upgrade my CPU for free... I think I've talked myself into it. Going to check my local Microcenter in the morning.

Does the in-store $25 coupon work with reserved online orders? Or strictly in-store?

Since you really don't pay until you are in-store for this order, the fact the coupon is probably in-store is irrelevant. Just present the coupon when paying....

im currently running a 9900k with a 3090. I was wondering if anyone could chime in regarding whether this is a worthwhile upgrade from the 9900k (read somewhere it can bottleneck the 3090).

So, I actually decided to do a little more of a test. I re-encoded the same Top Gun movie I mentioned. It took 18 minutes with the NVENC. Using the same exact settings (as close as possible) using CPU software encoding, it took 3hrs with the 3700x at 100% load most of that time. Visually, I do not see any difference in the quality. However, you were correct, the file size for the CPU Software encode was significantly smaller. It came in around 6.3GB instead of 10.4GB. Is that enough of a space savings to justify 2.6 extra hours (3hrs vs 20 minutes) of my computer being sluggish due to the CPU load? That's debatable.

I am doing this 12700K upgrade and I'll compare again times once the build is done and tweaked. I will be waiting a short time to build because I need Noctua to send my the 1700 mounting kit (for free). I expect it might take 2 weeks to get that based on when I had them send me the AM4 kit 3 years ago.
Once you have the 12700K, you'll be able to give QuickSync a try as well.

Great deal! I got one from MicroCenter Tustin. I also used the $25 coupon, the total price is $325 before tax. There are 5-6 motherboards left.
How do I get that $25 coupon?

For those that need a decent amount of SATA ports for storage and/or optical drive(s), beware, this board only has 4 SATA ports. I was about to pull the plug, but I currently have 7 SATA devices...
Yes, I could get some new larger drives, use more M.2, etc, but that just adds to the difficulty of changing over.
I was looking for 8 for my new build. I was looking at getting either a m2 sata expansion card or an pcie sata expansion card if I couldn't get it in the mobo.
