Q: Questioncan I use ssd with this cpu it does not say

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer CPUs don't determine what kind of hard disk you can use. That's all on the motherboard connections. This is a 12th gen and most 12th gen motherboards are SATA and can use any SSD as well as M2 which is actually faster. So the answer to your question is check the motherboard you want to put this in.

Q: QuestionWhy would you even bother to list this on your website? You will constantly show this as "SOLD OUT" and nobody will be able to actually buy one from you. If you care about your customers then you would actually get stock of this to sell.

Asked 4 years ago by ThePeople.

• A:Answer Give it some time and it will come to you. Getting new releases first hand is a chase game.
