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

Tutto perfetto

This is still an excellent choice of CPU for the money. You may be able to get a better chip for the same price with Ryzen but this is still an excellent choice if you are partial to Intel or have a motherboard that only accepts Intel chips.

The i5-12600K (K signifying that this is the desktop version) features a more generous turbo power bounds in addition to its desktop TDP, unlocked for overclocking, and included a single Intel sticker. This CPU is renowned among tech reviewers for its value while compromising only minimally in real world usage scenarios. If the i5 moniker is the “mainstream” product suitable for most users, the chip does not disappoint.

This thing is a monster. I have built many with 12900k and this i5 is a 16 thread monster, benchmark scores prove it to be as fast as my best 11900k i9, faster than my best 9900k i9 and maybe i got a lucky bin but i hit an SP of 75 overall 84 alone on P-cores! Thats higher than the average 12900k and it shows as it rocks 5.4ghz all day all p-core at 1.29v! Amazing CPU!

I am using this processor for a Remote Desktop Server and it is AWESOME!

The best budget processor with enough horsepower to get it all done. Paired this with a Asrock B660m Steel Legend with OC on XMP and Unlock Watt and its as good as a Z690-Mobo OC. Also bought Thermaltakes CPU bracket along to fix the Lga 1700 Socket and temps are down by 10c.

Good for the price, love it.

Why does Amazon keep wanting me to review things like this?

Works flawlessly. I havent done any overclocking on it(yet). It was the latest generation Intel CPUs. It was my first time buying a KF series. K is the overclockable version and F is the version with no integrated GPU. Ive owned K series numerous times. Ive never had an Intel CPU fail on me.

This cpu kicks butt for a good all around cpu. I use it for gaming and ripping mp3s with no problem.
