TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
12600KF is a monster for the price I paid at Newegg.

Completes my custom build, runs my 10GB 3080 very well for 1440p gaming and does general/ productive tasks without even a grunt. Wonderful CPU, very stable.

In hindsight I do prefer the cpu to have an iGPU for trouble shooting and other things so anyone whos buying this will also need to have a dedicated graphics card, as a heads up.

Great CPU for gaming from intel, even if they are catching some heat right now. This i5 12600KF doesnt seem to mind too much about that. Low temps, super fast processor, upgrade over my 11900KF and 10900. It supports newer hardware too, DDR5 XMP works well. Generally I love it. Im able to play all AAA at fairly high frame rates. For what I got it for on sale, oh Im a happy camper.
