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

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.

Good price for Next gen performance definitely a must buy for anyone who likes to play CPU heavy games like a Paradox, Civ or Total war game

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.

Las velocidades de reloj más altas permiten una mejor multitarea y un procesamiento acelerado de algoritmos complejos, todo mientras se reduce la carga del sistema y el consumo de energía. carga del sistema o disminución de la duración de la batería.

Has worked perfect since day one...

It punches above its weight and is less than $300. You kind of cant go wrong with this one.

The i5-12600K offers great performance for its price, although with the release of the 13600K, it may not be that good value. Gaming at 1440p is fine with this CPU, and productivity is great.

Best cpu for value and gaming

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

For the money, this is the little processor that could. Extremely satisfied with the speed, capacity, and design. The majority of cores run at 4.9GHz, while the rest work quietly along @ 3.6GHz. First cpu Ive had that used a division of labor to accomplish more with less. NO OC required, as I would rather this last a while instead of going out in a literal blaze of glory. Use it for VR flight sims and ARMA. Not into MP, so dont know about extreme loading, but so far I really like it. Combined with plenty of DDR4 it delivers.
