Intel Core i5-12400 CPU and MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi DDR5 motherboard hit our test lab

The premiere of the locked 12th generation Intel Core processors was not accidentally synchronized with the debut of the cheaper B660 / H610 chipsets, because they should be an ideal combination. Literally in days you can expect the first tests of cheaper Alder Lake models in our performance, while in the meantime MSI sent our editorial press-pack. The set includes an Intel Core i5-12400 processor and a MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi DDR5 motherboard, supplemented with a MSI MPG A650GF 650W power supply, DDR5 Kingston Fury Beast 5200 CL40 RAM memory and MSI MEG Core Liquid S360 cooling. There is something to look at …

Together with the locked 12th generation Core processors, motherboards debut on the cheaper Intel B660 and H610 chipsets.

The most important elements of the set are, of course, the motherboard and the processor, which are always new equipment. I can also reveal that the Intel Core i5-12400F review will be published next Monday, January 24 at 8.00, and the comparison will also cover the Intel Core i5-10400F, Core i5-11400F and AMD Rzyen 3 3600 models. Because Intel Core i5-12400F and Core The i5-12400 differs only in the integrated graphics chip, let’s leave the discussion of this processor until the test is published. The content of the package is so rich that it is worth paying a little attention to individual elements. If you’re surprised to find out that MSI has power supplies and cooling solutions, you’ve probably slept through the last few months. The Taiwanese are consistently expanding the offer to make it possible to assemble the entire computer based on components with the dragon logo (excluding the processor).

Such a test package has just arrived at our editorial office

Motherboard MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi it is available in DDR4 and DDR5 variants, while the discussed model is a version that supports the newer RAM standard. The rest of the technical specification is identical, and we are talking about a very generously equipped structure. Although MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi is made in the mATX format, the power section is 6-phase and has 12x Mosfets 60A ISL99360 plus 1x 70A MP87992. Cooling or the abundance of interfaces could also embarrass many ATXs belonging to a higher quality shelf. All places for mounting M.2 carriers have radiators, the chipset is of course passively cooled, and the power section ania covered with solid heat sinks.

Wi-Fi 6E / Bluetooth 5.2

Among additional equipment MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi DDR5 it is worth mentioning the high-quality 7.1 Realtek ALC 1200 audio codec, Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5G network system and diagnostic LEDs. Including the word WiFi in the name also clearly suggests that the motherboard has a wireless module. It is the Wi-Fi 6E standard (WLAN 802.11ax, 2×2, Intel) together with Bluetooth 5.2, so the combination is well known from the more expensive models dedicated to the Intel platform. On the rear panel we find 8 USB ports (7x USB-A, 1x USB-C), image outputs (HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4), network and audio connections. MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi DDR5 looks good, has a lot of goodies, but will cost about PLN 1000, while the DDR4 version is an expense of up to PLN 900.
