Most Favorable Review

Product was as described and received, works well

Intel Core i5-12600K - Core i5 12th Gen Alder Lake 10-Core (6P+4E) 3.7 GHz LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop Processor - BX8071512600K
Intel Core i5-12600K - Core i5 12th Gen Alder Lake 10-Core (6P+4E) 3.7 GHz LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop Processor - BX8071512600K

Pros: Good performance for the money. Would normally have ordered an i7, but as this was an upgrade on a 6 year old computer so that it could run Windows 11, it's performance was going to exceed the existing i7 anyways -- and was already happy with the older CPU's performance.

Cons: None noted.

Overall Review: Would recommend for those looking for an Alder Lake processor but not looking for cutting edge performance.

Supports LGA1700 CPU

Pros: Pleasantly surprised to find out that this product supports the latest Alder Lake (LGA1700) processors.

Cons: None observed yet.

Overall Review: If one needs a cooler for a mid-level Alder Lake processor -- this would fit the bill.

Straight forward configuration, work well and supports Alder Lake processors

Pros: Supports latest Intel processors and DDR4 memory.

Cons: No Wifi -- which I was not looking for regardless.

Overall Review: Would recommend and would purchase again.

Went into an external enclosure -- works perfectly

Western Digital WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T2B0C

Pros: - Needed an NVMe drive to leverage for my wife's 2017 iMac, which due to the Apple OS upgrades, had become nearly useless, taking more then 5 minutes to fully boot. Added this drive to an external thunderbolt enclosure and now boot from this drive -- boots in 10 seconds now!

Cons: - Now yet observed.

Overall Review: Great product -- great price.
