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

Good for the price, love it.

So basically i got it installed on my msi-z690 with the artic freezer 280 and did a clean windows install. I then let windows run all its updates and after the first reset the system would not open any programs or allow me to click IE to download drivers for my amd vega 64. luckly i had my laptop to usb the software safemoded the install and bingo everything so far is fast and amazing and im in intel heaven and my i7-7700k is in intel recycle bin. I cant believe how much cpu % is being used on this like in games the i7-7700k was about 79% but this i5 is at 28-33 % for wow/ffxiv/horzion dawn zero/gtav like im blown away. I also did not disable the e cores so have obs/yt and itunes up and at times a netflix show or anime i feel literally zero input lag with the core temp of 40ish so yes this is so much better then anything i have. Thanks intel. Also im not sure why its consider budget gaming cpu as this thing is outclassing high end cpus... just saying.

Super Leistung

Bought this as part of a new gaming computer build. Very happy with my purchase, runs everything well and performance is great.

I installed this in a GIGABYTE B660 Gaming X AX DDR4 since Im not overclocking and the board has all the features I wanted at a good price. Its paired with 16 GB DDR4 3200 CL14 RAM and a Phanteks 240 MP AIO liquid cooler. CPU temp never rose above 55 degrees during a 60 minute 100% CPU usage stress test with the stock Phantek fans. With Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans, temp is in the high 40s during the same stress test.

Works well with RTX30XX cards. Overall excellent performance.

Muy buena compra la verdad, estaba un poco preocupado del calor que tenia este cpu pero la verdad no hay de que temer, el cpu no sobrepasa los 35° eso si, sin hacer overclock, el consumo si es importante, asegurarse de tener una buena fuente de poder, el rendimiento es lo esperado, nucleos e hilos rinden muy bien por el valor.

Great cpu, best bang for your buck.

This was my choice of processor for my build, and I dont regret the choice. I decided to forgo the usual 12400kf in favor of this and wasnt disappointed. There havent been any issues, and it stays nice and cool.
