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.

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.

Great CPU well worth the price. Intels Support network is 2nd to none for their own products.

Works great for gaming and other tasks, doesn't get too hot at max load. I don't use the integrated graphics, but it's there as a backup if your GPU doesn't work.

Excellent to use for running a Minecraft server, or any other medium demand system. It's a good processor before any of the generations with microcode issues, and doesn't draw too much power. Get it when it's on sale and its a good value CPU.

Upgraded from an i7-2600k Sandy Bridge to this i5-12600k. The upgrade in performance is absolutely incredible, even on the ddr4 board it's installed in. Since this is the K version, I can overclock the cpu hard if need be, as well as turning off the E-cores if compatibility issues with old programs/games arise. I've heard many good things about this cpu in that regards, which is a relief after past Intel generations not being overclock-friendly. Use any of these 12th gen intels (or later) along with a compatible motherboard for an actual Windows 11 experience. Much less buggy than amd with stability (for now). It can be compared to the days of Windows Vista and having the actual supported hardware for it. You'll have a significantly better and stable experience than people trying Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.

No support for deepcool heatsinks, wasted time modifying it to fit, (it does work, but wasted a couple hours on a process that should take 5-10 minutes). I have never had so much trouble get a cpu to run in linux. Good grief, I’m a computer expert by trade, and intel should have waited to release this series. I know the competition is tough, but I definitely wont go and buy another one of these. I thought it would be a good investment. I may have damage my motherboard on install, as the cpu slip out of my hands and banged up against the socket bent some pins. It was so hard to get running under linux, graphics support is nonexistent, i can only the XE2 new graphics cards will be more of the same since these are based on that Technology. You can find a work around on Phoronix for the graphics problem, however the image on linux sucks it’s more pixelated than i would like. I would like to mention I needed to my rx 580 to get this thing running as the Linux OS didn’t recognize the GFX chip on the cpu. And with the way the situation is with gpu’s I’m lucky to have had one at hand. The Bios also doesn’t show on my pc correctly if you use the onboard Intel graphics, its cutoff . Also the hard drive was not recognized with the motherboard but it happed two motherboard asrock and gigabyte. I had to install a new elilo version to get the efi to work. What can i say the performance is good, but runs hot 120 watts at the cpu when doing multithreaded task like compiling the kernel. It does that fast but Ryzen 12 core does it faster and with less power 95watts. It’s hard to say this was an upgrade, my head hurts whenever an issue comes up with this cpu. Now after about month of use the gfx is acting weird, it starts to fragment / pixelated and gets stuck. I’m sure intel knows and I probably should have just gotten a kf series instead because it is so bad now i just left the dang rx 580 in the system. Maybe I’m not the only one, I’m sure a class action lawsuit is in the works. I have not been able to enjoy this since I purchased on day one. I would have returned this but then I would have to return the motherboard to another vendor and i sure don’t want to go to that trouble. I fortunately got ddr4 version so I reduced the amount of ram in the computer and will use it as is until it dies. Hopefully after this crypto boom I’ll be able to snag a ryzen 5th gen combo for cheap. My intel can fix this but it will be years before this happens. They are too busy playing catch up. The power efficiency is terrible and the whole experience is about as bad as it gets. Save yourself a headache and get something comparable like a 3700x or better. This is not worth the price or painful install procedures. I just thought it was ridiculous coming from intel, didnt they create the PCs we know of today??? Did i mention the bios was cuttoff on left and right edges so you cant read the functions??? I’m surprised Intel engineers released this, more of a sample than a final product. Buy something else, did i mention the cheapest motherboard sets you back around $200, so $500 into this ordeal is not a good experience, could have purchased 2 sets of used ryzen 7 8 core cpus and motherboard for the same money and ultimately gotten more performance in power usage and cpu. That’s my thoughts on this product.
