i have a 12400 and i use MSI PRO b600m-a wifi DDR4. Works really well. whatever mobo you decide make sure it has good VRM heatsink thats very important.

I definitely would go what that board if I had the budget for it. I'm currently considering the ASROCK B660 PRO RS any experience with AsRock?

Well, do check out the motherboard tier list for B660 models, what i understood is that other models run quite hot. MSI pro is probably the best "value" deal. If you want you can check out non wifi models also. I bought for 14000 in Jan 2023 i believe its a small difference over 12000.

Also if you want to take B610, its probably not the best option but it is a workable option too if you want to save some money. Depends all on your requirement.
as a thumb rule avoid mobos that do not have VRM heatsink.

Using Asus TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS WIFI D4 since past several months paired with 12400F works great.

Thank you so much for the suggestion.
I think you're right spending a bit extra for a better board is worth it.
Watched Buildzoid's video and HardwareUnboxed's video, MSI B660M Pro-A seems to be the best value + best performer. Will definitely get it.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. Looks like a good board, but I feel like a b660 board at 19k kinda defeats the point of a b660 board.

My requirement was with Bluetooth/WiFi and this was in budget, hence went for same.

yea if it fits your requirements then it's a good choice. and Asus TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS is 100% a good board. I wasn't trying to downplay your choice, I'm sorry if it came out as that.
