BEST SELLERS

In Desktop CPU Processor

Very, very fast

Got this to replace a Ryzen 5600 system. Noticeable speed increase and runs cooler too. Using it mostly for video file playback and it doesn't chug on 8K or high bit-rate 4K content. Got it on sale so the price was right. A good option for a starter gaming PC.

Went in perfectly first attempt, posted first attempt. No mobo flash was needed.

-Decent Price -Large L3 cache for performance -Can test problems without a video card/video card only necessary for gaming

-Low power vs the previous generations -Both great gaming and multicore performance -Plenty of IO -Doesn't kill itself like raptor lake -Very tame voltages -Super responsive even vs raptor lake which on paper these should be about the same. -iGPU have av1 encoding so frees my actual gpu for other stuff -Stable and no strange bugs or issues

Price point was good they had it in stock and I got it in 2 days.

Nothing I can add, if you want a great gaming cpu this it.

Slightly less performance than 7800x3D 12 Cores/24 Threads Runs newer less optimized games very well due to more cores Very good multi core/multi workload strength Doesnt run too hot surprisingly Decent L3 Cache 64MB

Unit functions incredibly well. I upgraded from a 2700x to this. Heating is a tad high, but I usually don't exceed 70C under heavy rendering load in photoshop or a game, which is fine. If your still running a 1000 / 2000 series Ryzen, this will be an immense upgrade, and is well worth it.

I had terrible overheating when I tried to upgrade to 10th gen and 11th gen. I waited for 12th gen non-K CPU's to get the best possible thermals. 12400F is currently the top of value/performance, mine runs stable at 30 C idle and around 45 C in CS:GO using Phanteks GlacierOne 240 AIO installed in Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 (which is an overkill for this CPU, but I was going for an all-white build). I reused my old Corsair DDR4 memory, no issues.

it has awesome cores it is a gaming champ it is a DAW champ it can handle SO many chrome tabs lol

It smashes my i5 11600k that i had in iracing an now i can upgrade gpu from 4060 to something more high end....

Performance: Great. Installation: Easy.

It's a nice chip. I have a graphics card so I didn't need the K version; the KF works just fine.
