5.0 out of 5 stars Great processor, great price.
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good standard processor for high end, non-gaming workstations
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2024
I run Linux and this CPU does a great job. With 16G of RAM I can do so much stuff. This is a 10 core processor and, well, it really does the work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Performance CPU for Emby Media Server
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2024
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Performance and Cool Operation with the 12600K
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger CPU
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful sub $200 CPU. No fan though.
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2024
This has been gaming well for me the past few weeks.

It did not come shipped with a fan though. I luckily bought a 3rd party fan with my build, so I wasn't hindered. But buyer be aware there was no fan.

Fan I bought (very good for the price, but very bulky): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LGY38L4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
