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

I’m so glad I decided to step up from the 12600T I was planning on using to the 12600K, which is the cheapest Intel CPU that has the efficiency cores. I was nervous at first, because my plan was to build a low-ish power, 100% passively-cooled, internal GPU, no moving parts PC for use in my bedroom, where my previous computers were annoyingly loud. I used a Noctua NH-P1 passive cooler and a Seasonic PX-500 fanless PSU, and my system is not only 100% silent, it turns in impressive benchmark numbers and never gets close to throttling temperatures even after sustained Cinebench runs.

Picked this up to replace my 6th gen Core i5. Running it with a GeForce 1060 so I cant really see how much it helps as Im GPU limited. Will be awesome once I sell a kidney & win the lottery so that I can afford a GeForce 3000 or 4000 series GPU. I paired it with an Asus Z690 motherboard paired with DDR4 memory. You have to choose between DDR4 and DDR5 on Z690, just so you know.

I bought this one for desing mainlly

This thing runs like a beast. I can get a 43% OC in Ai tweaker and even stress testing getting the CPU up to 80C it still runs rock solid. I got mine on sale for $182 and at that price its an absolute steal.

Super fast and was easy to instal

Me encanto su rendimiento como estacion de trabajo, la temperatura se mantiene entre 30 grados con noctual nh-d15.

functionality is ideal

The single core speed for this chip is insane. About 20% increase. As you may know, this chip has hybrid architecture. 6 “Performance” Cores and 4 “Efficient” Cores. The top 12900K has 8 Performance 8 Efficient Cores. The 12900K is way hot, and intel souped this processor up to barely beat the Ryzen 5950x but with a lot more heat generated. Keep in mind the 5950 is $799 compared to $579, but Intels is way more inefficient and hot.

ES TODA UNA BESTIA MUY BUENO RECOMENDADO

good condition
