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

Have one in my build for over a week and it works great, does not overheat with most FPS games i play and is powerful enough.

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.

This project is great for gaming, i like it, but you have to buy good power supply with good cooler to manage the CPU temperature.

better have a unlocked mob

第七世代から比べればいいに決まってますw

Este procesador me ha funcionado muy bien, ya tengo algunos meses con él y todo fluye de manera excelente, con un buen enfriamiento no tendrás problemas con sus altas temperaturas, lo mantengo con un AiO 280mm de MSI y no pasa de los 65 - 70 grados.

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.

Definitely worth the money. I chose this over an i7 and really it feels great. Every game I run is smooth. Every test went over easy. Great cpu especially for the price. Top Amazon day purchase too!

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.

The i5-12600K (K signifying that this is the desktop version) features a more generous turbo power bounds in addition to its desktop TDP, unlocked for overclocking, and included a single Intel sticker. This CPU is renowned among tech reviewers for its value while compromising only minimally in real world usage scenarios. If the i5 moniker is the “mainstream” product suitable for most users, the chip does not disappoint.
