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

Runs super fast and efficient! No 13th or 14th gen stability issues.
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 Thermaltake Assassin SE 120 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.

Genuine part, works great
I purchased this to rebuild my HTPC, which had outdated hardware, firmware, and software.The chip came in well packaged, with good instructions, and was easy to install.My computer is now updated, and the speed is great. I am using this primarily as a home theater computer.

Great CPU for the price
Got this when making a budget build. Have not been disappointed and think it’s a great choice for the price point.

Pain in to setup. Nothing but a headache. I wish I would have got a different cpu.
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.

Em 2024 continua servindo para praticamente qualquer jogo, sendo uma boa opção em termos de custo-benefício.

This cpu is probably one of the best bangs for the buck at 200$ compared to others of similar quality I know cuz I bought a r5 7600 a year ago back for 300$ not the point this cpu replaced an i5 8400 I originally upgraded the gpu from a 1060 6gb to a 1660 super and only got a a few fps increase the reason being while games were starting it would bottom out at 10fps before returning to normal we were than at the time before cpu upgrade bottoming out at 13fps now after upgrading cpu I noticed the fps is now 27fps at its lowest while I understand most gamers would do anything for a single fps I just don’t feel the end result is as great as I was hoping however my goal was reached by increasing the minimum fps also has overclocking capability but have not tried to play with any of that as of writing this nor am I comfortable with doing so

I’m very satisfied with this purchase. It provides more than enough power for my home server, and hardware transcoding is effortless. The system runs cool and performs flawlessly. The pricing is spot-on, and I’m also using the non-K version in my gaming rig with great results.
