-Fast -Overclocking

Love it it went in my mother board and posted right away. I did the flash update first on a gigabyte B550 and all worked perfectly its very fast. I have a water cooler on it, a Corsair 240 and keeps temp at around 32 degrees on just suffering the web.

Dont need a discrete GPU Handles streaming and browsing with ease. Retro gaming is a breeze

Super fast and reasonably priced on sale.





- Great price - Great performance - Good power consumption - Fast shipping - Works with legacy AM4 motherboards (with bios updates)

Good graphics. Working great in a media PC.

Pretty much 7600 level power and output Cost effective Non integrated graphics

Chip performance is solid for a 12th generation processor and thoughthere have been comments concerning this cpu running hot I am not having any problems with it as I am using an MSI double size water cooling system. So far cpu is staying in the low to mid 30's.Have not run any performance test yet but believe this cpu will do well for gaming and anything I throw at it. Have it installed on an MSI Z790 pro wifi motherboard which I am happy with. Lots of options and easy bios configuration and setup.


This processor fit everything I was looking for: modern, power efficient, fast, and cooler included. With the AM5 platform being less than a year old there are plenty of future generations to upgrade to. The low TDP leads to lower power usage and less overall heat, which the included cooler easily keeps the CPU cool, idle it's running mid-30C under load, I've only seen it get up to mid-60C.

Besides my first 8 core processor, it's my first Ryzen CPU, but won't be my last. I paired this with an Strix B550 board. Did the bios flashback and it was smooth sailing. I have been impressed with the 5700x. I'm a Happy Customer.

much stronger than my old Ryzen 3400GE PRO , the graphics adapter on this cpu chip is incredible , loved it - will be upgrading to discreet card but nonetheless incredible .

+ Affordable for my needs + Can be over-clocked + Great CPU for the non-gamer + Average Temps well within specs + Wraith Cooler does fine for temps

Slightly noticeable speed improvement coming from an i8700 and greatly improved cooling solution. The speed of this 12100f i3 is better than 8700 most of the time unless you have aftermarket cooler for 8700 and happen to be at full utilization of all your cpu power and multicores. I Never really see too many cores getting fully utilized or the cpu utilization get very high on my 8700 so opted to test out a 4 core 8 thread with the idea can always upgrade later. The stock cooler actually works for this 12100f was in the 40-50 celsius, just fine unlike for 8700 that thermal throttles at easily gets to 90-100c. 12100f does Overclocks as well with the right motherboard/bios, which is nice, but didn't even seem like it was necessary so I clocked it back down. Using in b660 asrock steel legend atx board. Good to wait out DDR 5 and waiting for Pcie 5 cards to eventually come out, and prices on video cards if they ever come down.

Low power, good igpu, cheap

Fast, speedy, and quick.
