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

I installed this in a GIGABYTE B660 Gaming X AX DDR4 since Im not overclocking and the board has all the features I wanted at a good price. Its paired with 16 GB DDR4 3200 CL14 RAM and a Phanteks 240 MP AIO liquid cooler. CPU temp never rose above 55 degrees during a 60 minute 100% CPU usage stress test with the stock Phantek fans. With Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans, temp is in the high 40s during the same stress test.

PSA: do not buy if you want to overclock and you plan on using Intel XTU on windows 10! Intel has dropped support for XTU on windows 10 for the 12th and 13th gen models, which i did not know at the time of purchase. Regardless, you may not even need to overclock this processor, it handles games, video editing, and large processing workloads well! I have been enjoying Intels P/E core technology a lot, my background tasks running nominally, while my games and workloads execute smoothly. Amazing processor for its price, but its definitely not the fastest. You should buy this as an in-between when building a new computer or when upgrading chipsets, etc.

It will offer better value for gaming/every day PC compare to the 12700k especially since most games are GPU dependent. It works well for Windows 11, easy overclocking, and haven’t experiencing any bottlenecks with everyday pc apps.

Bueno me gusto

This project is great for gaming, i like it, but you have to buy good power supply with good cooler to manage the CPU temperature.
