  • The best value CPU of this generation
Style: Processor Only
I’m so glad I decided to step up from the 12600T I was planning on using to the 12600K, which is the cheapest Intel CPU that has the efficiency cores. I was nervous at first, because my plan was to build a low-ish power, 100% passively-cooled, internal GPU, no moving parts PC for use in my bedroom, where my previous computers were annoyingly loud. I used a Noctua NH-P1 passive cooler and a Seasonic PX-500 fanless PSU, and my system is not only 100% silent, it turns in impressive benchmark numbers and never gets close to throttling temperatures even after sustained Cinebench runs. I run my system at -130 mV, with no overclocking, and CPU power consumption peaks at about 100 W, while idle CPU power consumption is less than 2W. My heatsink never gets too hot to touch with my bare hand in daily use. The only thing preventing my system from being a high performance gaming PC is the lack of dedicated GPU, but the internal GPU is more than enough for me to run four simultaneous instances of BlueStacks 5 to play my favorite mobile game, and fast enough to run Diablo III and EVE Online with medium settings. The Core i5-12600K is roughly competitive in performance and price with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X. ... show more

  • Make sure your motherboard is made for the CPU
Style: Processor Only
This is one of the best CPU for gaming and it’s deemed one of the best performance wise. It’s also worth the money spent on it one of the best for casual gaming being able to run 180 FPS on games such as COD (as long as the gpu is good as well) When installing however ensure you purchase thermal paste before proceeding to remove or install the CPU. There’s a metal piece on the side of where the CPU sits in make sure you lift up before trying to getting the CPU out. But all around this is good for how much you’re paying just be careful as it’s very fragile and one drop may make it’s no longer usable. ... show more

  • Pretty dang quick. Worth every penny
Style: Processor Only
Alder Lake is where it's at. CPU does a phenomenal job at playing demanding games. I built my PC for flight simulation games and other higher-end titles, and this CPU is super powerful and up to the job. Buy it!

  • A lot of CPU power.. maybe too much.
Style: Processor Only
This CPU is really good. For gaming it never goes above 30% usage which is why I think I might've been fine with something cheaper but I digress. Really simple installation process. I do recommend getting an aftermarket cooler because a stock one won't cut it. So far no complaints!

  • Came laying loose in the box.
Style: Processor Only
Great processor. Packaged poorly. Came laying loose in the box. Decided to use it any way. It works but for the money should have been packed better.

  • Good chip, runs cool, still improving
Style: Processor Only
I recently built an 15 12600k system and it has plenty of ups and downs. I don't see any of the downs being the fault of the chip or Intel. Most of the issues I have experienced with the new system (and there have been many), have to do with the motherboard or ddr5. I upgraded from a i7 4770k I had on a 24/7 4.8ghz overclock for 7 years. The new I5 is CLEARLY faster in both single and multi threaded performance. Like many I experience many errors in the windows 11 event viewer usually something to do with an efficiency core. At the end of the day I don't see any real world effects on performance, and even microsoft says to ignore these errors. I have traditionally chosen intel because of their on board graphics support. I've had a graphics card go out in the past and having on board video allows you to at least use your system as a system while you figure out what has happened. If amd ever decides to see the value in having on board video from an administrator perspective; I may have to reconsider them. I am happy with the upgrade to the new chip and support for the new technology will only get better. I would recommend the I5 12600k to anyone looking for a reasonably priced new chip that will allow their systems to handle most tasks with ease for the foreseeable future. ... show more
