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

This CPU is one of the most best for gaming. It has plenty of cores to handle gaming and to mutitask. I went with the 12600k over AMDs 5600X because the price was cheaper and this CPU is also faster in single threaded workloads. 6 performance cores plus 4 efficiency cores will be plenty for gaming and moderare workloads for years to come. It also runs fairly cool with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 cpu cooler.

Middle end perfect CPU, thats all)))

good condition

Its a great CPU.

Great product, but kept getting delayed in shipping. Postponed my PC build by nearly a week because it was the last part to arrive.

I often work in game design, play various games, and edit in 3D environments such as blender and Autodesk inventor. I am more than confident this CPU could handle all of those tasks with blazing speeds. Pairs really well with a 3060 Ti.

Works good for what i need it to do, which is emulation. I have no issues so far

Very pleased with performance and it is a great value.

DOES NOT COME WITH A COOLER, YOU CANNOT USE IT WITHOUT ONE. So frustrating, every CPU Ive ever bought comes with a cooler.

I recently built an 15 12600k system and it has plenty of ups and downs. I dont see any of the downs being the fault of the chip or Intel. Most of the issues I have experienced with the new system (and there have been many), have to do with the motherboard or ddr5. I upgraded from a i7 4770k I had on a 24/7 4.8ghz overclock for 7 years. The new I5 is CLEARLY faster in both single and multi threaded performance. Like many I experience many errors in the windows 11 event viewer usually something to do with an efficiency core. At the end of the day I dont see any real world effects on performance, and even microsoft says to ignore these errors.
