K's usually focus on more than just the budget model. In gaming, most players stick to the 12400 for performance reasons. Going higher like 12600 is mainly for those who want top-tier frame rates.

In the past, getting the most affordable board possible was an excellent budget strategy. Around $80 to $100 was ideal—especially if you had a high-core-count chip like the 3950x—before FSB/HTT overclocking became common. Once those methods faded, prices rose to about $125 to $150, and quality of the motherboard played a bigger role. Nowadays, spending heavily on a board offers minimal performance gains.

The initial statement indicated Intel claimed H610 operated in a single-channel mode.

Could significantly impact performance. I own a 12400F and ROG B660-I. I’m considering returning the B660-I since I bought a B660-G instead. The B660-G offers three key benefits: it enables BCLK overclocking, supports DDR5, and works with 13th Gen Core processors. These advantages made me reconsider using a DDR4 board with B-Dies even though BCLK is supported—something that would need a more advanced board like the Maximus Hero. However, if you buy any board, you can generally run all-core 4GHz configurations by disabling boost features and adjusting the CPU multiplier. V-Core on auto remains acceptable.
