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

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

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

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.

You can usually find this processor for around $200 and it matches the performance of a Ryzen 7600x. Great price to performance.

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

This thing is a monster. I have built many with 12900k and this i5 is a 16 thread monster, benchmark scores prove it to be as fast as my best 11900k i9, faster than my best 9900k i9 and maybe i got a lucky bin but i hit an SP of 75 overall 84 alone on P-cores! Thats higher than the average 12900k and it shows as it rocks 5.4ghz all day all p-core at 1.29v! Amazing CPU!

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.

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.

Bueno me gusto

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.
