Intel Core i5-12600KF Desktop Processor 10 (6P+4E) Cores up to 4.9 GHz Unlocked  LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

This is still an excellent choice of CPU for the money. You may be able to get a better chip for the same price with Ryzen but this is still an excellent choice if you are partial to Intel or have a motherboard that only accepts Intel chips.

Why does Amazon keep wanting me to review things like this?

It will offer better value for gaming/every day PC compare to the 12700k especially since most games are GPU dependent. It works well for Windows 11, easy overclocking, and haven’t experiencing any bottlenecks with everyday pc apps.

only problem was the online wifi driver download didnt work. bought a disc reader and used the singular wifi driver to solve the issue

Amazing product throughly enjoyed building my first ever PC with it; Im expecting it to stay relevant for a while for gaming.

This was my choice of processor for my build, and I dont regret the choice. I decided to forgo the usual 12400kf in favor of this and wasnt disappointed. There havent been any issues, and it stays nice and cool.

I have been building desktop computers for the past 22 years, and this is the first processor I have had such horrible luck getting to work. I have tried this in 3 motherboards, swapped RAM, video cards, power supplies, monitors, and HDMI cables. I have even returned and replaced the CPU. Nothing has gotten me to a POST screen, much less allowed me to access the UEFI/BIOS, until I borrowed a GT 1030, which is UEFI and Secure Boot compliant. Socket 1700 motherboards are shipping with CSM disabled and Secure Boot enabled. Unless your video card is compliant, you will not see a POST screen or a UEFI/BIOS menu.

Runs Msfs 2020 without any problems. Settings are on High with some on ultra. Mines water cooled so the temps are in the mid to upper 50s.

Bueno me gusto

We custom build our PCs and this was selected by my oldest son for his new build. He is very satisfied with his pick.
