can it run

Can the CPU-only (DDR5 tuned / 4-channel) run gpt-oss 120B MoE?

NO

65.3 GB vs 30 GB usable — does not fit

~30GB usable · CPU (DDR5) · model file 65GB · 120B MoE

~8.3–13 tok/s (active-expert estimate)

computed roofline: 179.2 GB/s × 0.45–0.70 efficiency window / 9.8GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.

MoE: file is 65GB (that decides fit) but only ~18B of experts activate per token (~9.8GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math
