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

This handles my Asus tuf 3070 ti just fine. Elder ring on max settings with no lag. If you want real value then buy the amd 5600x. That’ll also do the job for $70 dollars cheaper. But I enjoy intel.

I am grading the main heading at the top of the page that does not let the consumer know a cooler is not included. Would have been nice to know this before purchasing, and now I wait for a cooler. The information is included under Q and A.

Best cpu for the money

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.

Great CPU all I can say.
