I meant moderate priced, not modest, at the most $200 but can got a bit higher, getting a more expensive one for a good deal is the aim.
I purposely went with the B series as was not interested on OC the CPU as the i5-13600k is far more CPU than I need and it is not running more than mid 50c on nearly all benchmarks, etc but did get up to around 89c yesterday the first time I ran furmark. Usually no more than 151 watts or so all the other benches I have ran which is most of the. I have an FE 3060 ti I have had great fun learning how to undervolt, etc and using the onboard memory OC...now I want to undervolt the CPU which is partly for fun and partly to save energy as full time in an RV and fan noise reduction, which is not bad as have 12 fans in a fractal ridge case so they seldom have to run at higher speeds.
I want a used, open box, etc MB and have around 25 years Ebay experience so know how to shop safely there but also open box from NewEgg, which sometimes they have no Ebay, is cool as I bought the B760 from them.
I am going to upgrade to a 3080 when the right deal comes along but also keeping my eye on the A770 as things progress there, specs seem to show it should still be much better than current results. My buddy just ordered one so I might get to play with it.
Please let this going to be 72 in a few weeks guy, having fun, need to get back into out major organic garden expansion project should be looking at for the best quality/value mini ITX MB.
Thanks
