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

This cpu is perfect and all around the best in its price range to be release in past couple of years. It works well in zbrush, unreal engine, blender, and is great for gaming. I literally have no complaints.

Got this on sale at 220 and man, is it an upgrade from a ryzen 5 3600.

I have been building desktop computers for the past 22 years, and this is the first processor I have had such horrible luck getting to work. I have tried this in 3 motherboards, swapped RAM, video cards, power supplies, monitors, and HDMI cables. I have even returned and replaced the CPU. Nothing has gotten me to a POST screen, much less allowed me to access the UEFI/BIOS, until I borrowed a GT 1030, which is UEFI and Secure Boot compliant. Socket 1700 motherboards are shipping with CSM disabled and Secure Boot enabled. Unless your video card is compliant, you will not see a POST screen or a UEFI/BIOS menu.

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.

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.

Awesome cpu, best from all intels which I had (2700,3750,6700,7700,8700,9900,10700,10850) and with price 200$ no competitors.

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!

Great cpu, best bang for your buck.

Arrived as described. Powerful CPU for a reasonable price.

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.
