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

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

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.

Arrived as described. Powerful CPU for a reasonable price.

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

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.

FINALLY. Intel has got back to being a contender. I had not updated my computer since Kaby Lake... and I was a bit disappointed to see how thrashed Intel was getting by AMD.

Bought this as part of a new gaming computer build. Very happy with my purchase, runs everything well and performance is great.

The best budget processor with enough horsepower to get it all done. Paired this with a Asrock B660m Steel Legend with OC on XMP and Unlock Watt and its as good as a Z690-Mobo OC. Also bought Thermaltakes CPU bracket along to fix the Lga 1700 Socket and temps are down by 10c.

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.
