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

Great cpu, best bang for your buck.

I installed this in a GIGABYTE B660 Gaming X AX DDR4 since Im not overclocking and the board has all the features I wanted at a good price. Its paired with 16 GB DDR4 3200 CL14 RAM and a Phanteks 240 MP AIO liquid cooler. CPU temp never rose above 55 degrees during a 60 minute 100% CPU usage stress test with the stock Phantek fans. With Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans, temp is in the high 40s during the same stress test.

Arrived as described. Powerful CPU for a reasonable price.

Awesome cpu, best from all intels which I had (2700,3750,6700,7700,8700,9900,10700,10850) and with price 200$ no competitors.

This cpu kicks butt for a good all around cpu. I use it for gaming and ripping mp3s with no problem.

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.

Just one of the best CPUs for this money if not the best.

It shipped fast within 10 days But when i opened the package i found the box damaged and the CPU have a signs of usage

Got sent a bad CPU that only uses about 1.8 compared to the advertised 3.7 base clock speed. Also the kf doesnt come with integrated graphics and the one that does is 10$ cheaper.

So basically i got it installed on my msi-z690 with the artic freezer 280 and did a clean windows install. I then let windows run all its updates and after the first reset the system would not open any programs or allow me to click IE to download drivers for my amd vega 64. luckly i had my laptop to usb the software safemoded the install and bingo everything so far is fast and amazing and im in intel heaven and my i7-7700k is in intel recycle bin. I cant believe how much cpu % is being used on this like in games the i7-7700k was about 79% but this i5 is at 28-33 % for wow/ffxiv/horzion dawn zero/gtav like im blown away. I also did not disable the e cores so have obs/yt and itunes up and at times a netflix show or anime i feel literally zero input lag with the core temp of 40ish so yes this is so much better then anything i have. Thanks intel. Also im not sure why its consider budget gaming cpu as this thing is outclassing high end cpus... just saying.
