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

Not worth the money.

this processor beats the previous gen of i7 and i9.

This CPU is really good. For gaming it never goes above 30% usage which is why I think I mightve been fine with something cheaper but I digress. Really simple installation process. I do recommend getting an aftermarket cooler because a stock one wont cut it.

I purchased this processor and was happy with it until I stumbled upon a youtube video that proclaimed that most memory doesnt run at its max speed. My DDR5 memory did just that - it ran at 4000 instead of its 5200 (and it is certified to run on this processor). In my motherboards BIOS, I adjusted the memory to run at 5200 with XMP-1 (an ASUS setting). It crashed a lot, so I tried their XMP-2 setting and everything froze up. Next thing I knew, nothing worked! I bought new memory, a new motherboard and eventually a new processor. When I found out this processor was the part that went bad (and it has a 3 year warranty), I submitted a ticket to Intel and they concluded that I overclocked the processor by pushing the memory to 5200 and they sent me to their webpage that specified this processor has a 4800 limit. Since then, I looked at every page before the one they sent me and none of them said anything about the 4800 memory speed limit.

Probably the last mid tier chip that Intel will make that you can cool without breaking the bank. Just kidding of course but this thing has an almost reasonable TDP and its price to performance is still quite great, especially if youre planning on getting a Z690 that youd rather not flash.

good condition

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.

No se traba, es muy rápido. Los gráficos integrados funcionan perfectamente para jugar Apex Legends, pero no sirven para jugar Warzone 2.0, por lo que toca tener una tarjeta gráfica. Pero es muy rápido este procesador. Con el cooler de de ventiladores que le puse, si mucho llega a 65° en gaming. Me gustó mucho.

Its a great CPU.

I used a z690 motherboard and it works great, the performance is incredible.
