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

When I saw this during the Prime Day deal, I thought it was something I had to buy on general principle, which I did. Thus far, the chip is fast, runs Win 11 well and runs all the games Ive tried on it easily. Also, Intel has some neat utilities where, if one were inclined, may tinker with the performance.

Bueno me gusto

See above

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.

Good for the price, love it.
