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

Have one in my build for over a week and it works great, does not overheat with most FPS games i play and is powerful enough.

At this price point you will get a massive value , and this is the first intel processor that came with the unprecedented new performance hybrid architecture, processors offer a unique combination of Performance and Efficient-cores , which is a pretty good deal for this price!

The i5-12600K (K signifying that this is the desktop version) features a more generous turbo power bounds in addition to its desktop TDP, unlocked for overclocking, and included a single Intel sticker. This CPU is renowned among tech reviewers for its value while compromising only minimally in real world usage scenarios. If the i5 moniker is the “mainstream” product suitable for most users, the chip does not disappoint.

Why does Amazon keep wanting me to review things like this?

I am using this in my streaming rig and it is a huge upgrade compared to the old 10400f. Overclocking is so easy and I have this at 5.1 all core and could possibly get to 5.2 all core. Dont cheap out on the cooler cuz this thing will run hot during gaming. Got it on sale for under $200 and couldnt pass it up.
