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

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.

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

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.

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!

At this price point you will get a massive value , and this is the first intel processor that came with the unprecedented new performance hybrid architecture, processors offer a unique combination of Performance and Efficient-cores , which is a pretty good deal for this price!

Amazing 10 core i5 CPU at a great price. Handily beats more expensive ryzen 7 5800X at both single and multi threaded workloads. For gaming it provides better FPS than every Ryzen CPU in the market including the $800 Ryzen 9 5950X. Runs cool specially for gaming. Similar or better perf/Watt and much better perf/dollar compared to 5800X. Very low idle power draw due to efficiency cores. Has good overclocking headroom. KitGuru did an amazing review of the K version of this chip which should be applicable to this KF version as well.

12代还挺好压的，我这颗大雷，大核全核5.0单核5.2小核全核4.0玩游戏在60w左右，r23全核烤机得加压功耗大概140w，用风冷随便压。

better have a unlocked mob

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.
