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

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.

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.

better have a unlocked mob

This processor is amazing in that for significantly less price than previous years you can have the same processing power. I upgraded a 6 year old processor -- the last upgrade to basically fully replacing my pc-- with no issues, and easily was able to recognize the Windows code, and had no issues swapping. Overall, the Processor preforms great, has no issues, and is able to effectively handle my needs in photo editing, video editing, and gaming.

The best price for this power performance in 10 cores! I recommend for those who would like to upgrade outdated PC!

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.

Tutto perfetto

This CPU is great for gaming and workstation activities especially for the price.

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.
