Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome budget chip that preforms great! Have it in a mini Itx build with a 240aio, run cool 30c-55c.

Really good cpu for gaming also very good to play video games temporarily if you don’t have a graphics card at the moment or if you’re playing games that don’t require much power.

There might be better processors in the 13th gen, but for its time, it was the best speed per dollar value. It performs like a champ in all of the AAA games I've thrown at it.

Excellent value. !2th Generation processor is great for playing games and heavy desktop work. Great performance for a lower price. Can't wait to install this in my new system.

By far, best bang for the bucket mid-tier CPU you can get! Worth paying the little more for integrated graphics for when you need to add an aftermarket GPU.

Plays all the games I want and more can’t complain about it at all

When you drive on the street, would you be able to realize the power of a race car? For me, I would rather get something that gets the job done that can drive at slightly above the speed limit and never below the speed limit. Analogously, that would be this i5-12400. The price is economical. The CPU is efficient because it takes less watts and produces less heat than an i7. It is slightly faster than I need it to be (in AAA games, my FPS is bottlenecked by my RTX 3070 Ti GPU, and in esports titles I can get 165+ FPS). Most importantly, it is fast for enough to feel snappy because I hate it when something freezes even for a split second.

Works great, no issues at all and installation was easy, the stock cooler actually looks decent now and has a little heft to it. If using an after market cooler make sure it supports the socket.

Great chip. High efficiency good clocks reasonable price

Just upgraded from AMD Ryzen 1600, and this thing absolutely demolishes what I was using, makes me wish I did it sooner. I got a Vetroo 5 heat pipe cooler and idles at 38c. Can't believe the temps for the performance.

Benchmarks place this chip faster than a 11700k for gaming and at fraction of the power. On sale, this is the chip for the perfect basic build.

Good price and better value than the AMD counterpart at the time of purchase. Can run games very well with the GPU I also bought. Great for a lower-end budget build

Runs fast and cool, and is more than enough CPU for most gamers. What's not to love!?

Great chip for the money. I built a computer for a friend and he is very happy with how fast it it.

Did exactly what I needed it to do.... update the Bios on my MoBo to be able to use a 13th gen LGA1700 CPU on it lol.

Its perfect for gaming and at a great price, I would wait for a sales Ive seen this at 169.99

Best Value price to performance 6 core 12 thread process

This CPU won't win any speed competitions, but it's more than sufficient for most tasks, and if paired with a dedicated GPU can play games quite well... but don't even think about using the integrated GPU for anything more than light tasks, it's just not good.

Very fast responsive processor. No complaints. Perfect for a very productive computer

Runs everything perfectly. The shipping was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better product.
