  • Outstanding Value and Performance for Gamers and Creators
Style: i5-12600K
I upgraded my PC with the Intel Core i5-12600K, and it has exceeded my expectations. With 10 cores (6 performance and 4 efficiency), it handles gaming, multitasking, and content creation with ease. The 4.9 GHz clock speed is more than enough for smooth, lag-free gaming at high settings, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in performance compared to my old processor. The integrated graphics are surprisingly good for light gaming and tasks that don’t require a dedicated GPU, which is a bonus. The processor is unlocked, offering great overclocking potential if you’re looking to push your system to the limit. Plus, the LGA1700 socket and compatibility with the 600 series chipset make it a great fit for the latest motherboard setups. If you’re looking for a powerful, cost-effective processor for gaming or productivity, the Intel Core i5-12600K is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! ... show more

"The Intel Core i5-12600K is a fantastic mid-range processor that delivers exceptional performance for both gaming and productivity tasks. With its hybrid architecture featuring 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, it handles multitasking with ease. The 4.9 GHz turbo boost ensures smooth gameplay and quick application launches. Integrated graphics are a bonus for systems without a discrete GPU. Installation was straightforward on my LGA1700 motherboard, and the 125W TDP provides a good balance between power and efficiency. Overall, this processor offers excellent value for its price. ... show more

  • Runs super fast and efficient! No 13th or 14th gen stability issues.
Style: i5-12600K
Got this for cheap and to avoid any potential CPU issues seen on 13th and 14th gen CPUs from Intel. Works great for a DDR4 system and is much cheaper than newer CPUs using DDR5 ram and motherboards. Using a single tower Thermalright Assassin SE 120 X my CPU doesn't even crack hardly above 60*C in Cinebench Multi-core run. Also only using around 100 watts at full 100% load. Idles in the 25*C range. My RAM overclocked perfectly stable with the CPU at 3200 using XMP Profile 1 in Gigabyte BIOS. Set up easily in the Gigabyte z790 S DDR4 motherboard. This was an upgrade from an i7-3770 which is 13 years old. Was working just fine but a little slower in demanding video editing tasks using heavy Fusion and AI tools in Davinci Resolve. 12600k is quite a bit beefier for the heavy heavy stuff. ... show more

  • Great little Gaming CPU With Life Saving Integrated Graphics
Style: i5-12600K
Great CPU for your gaming and multitasking needs. I'm using a DeepCool Giant Single Tower Air Cooler with Fan (no longer available) and I've never experienced any heating problems even while running games at max settings at 2k. Fortunately this 12th generation chip doesn't suffer the defects that would plague future Intel generation chips and having a backup integrated graphics is honestly just a life saver if you like to tinker with your main GPU. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • It is all a Process really...
Style: i5-12600K
I am am enjoying the power this thing is giving. My favorite is that it enabled me to upgrade to windows 10. I record videos, play games, and design graphics. Let's just say I rarely push to 50 percent of its potential.
