    • No worries like the 13 &14th gen
Style: i5-12600K
I bought this to replace a 12400. Works great as I knew it would. I now have two computers rocking a 12600k. I was going to get a 13 or 14th Gen, but didn’t want their problems. This is plenty fast. Works well for productivity and gaming.

    • Impressive Performance and Cool Operation with the 12600K
Style: i5-12600K
The 12600K CPU has been an outstanding upgrade from my previous setup, delivering a remarkable boost in performance. I've been particularly impressed by its cool operation, maintaining a stable 64 degrees even during rigorous stress tests and extended gaming sessions. The CPU comfortably reaches 5.1 GHz without any stability issues, and it seems there's still plenty of room for further overclocking if needed. If you're looking for a CPU that offers solid performance, low heat, and great value, the 12600K is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for both gaming and general productivity! ... show more

    • Performance CPU for Emby Media Server
Style: i5-12600K
I built a rack mount server to run Emby and chose the Core i5-12600K because of the integrated UHD 770 graphics that handles transcoding video very well. I am very pleased with how this CPU has been performing. It transcodes using Intel's QuickSync like a beast. I tested up to 15 4K to 1080p transcodes simultaneously and not a hiccup. The 12600K is an older 12th gen processor but is still a performer depending on use case. I compared the 12600K to the i7 12600K and performance difference was marginal, so I settled on the i5. I am very pleased. ... show more

    • Great processor, great price.
Style: i5-12600K
This processor can perform very well with almost any setup. I’ve experienced no bottlenecks, and I pair it with a 3080. The performance on this cpu for the price is actually crazy.

    • Bigger CPU
Style: i5-12600K
Review Image by omar carvajal omar carvajal
The i5 12600k is quite bigger (like the one you put in your mouth). I mean, bigger than older Intel CPUs. I have no regrets or concerns about the power of this CPU. It is enough for hard gaming (valorant, APEX, Dota 2, league of legends) in terms of online gaming. I am pretty sure it will performs very well with musician software too, because the owner of this computer is a guitar rock player and gamer. I love intel CPUs, I'm a intel fanboy from Ecuador. ... show more

    • 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. ... show more
