    Best Value to Performance for Gaming

    Cost to performance you still cant beat the I5-12400f. I have this paired with a 3070 and could not be happier with the gaming power. Only recommendation is to pick up an aftermarket cooler as the stock one can get loud/audible under load. I ran the stock cooler for 2 weeks before I switched it out for a Dark Rock.

    CPU works fast. Best bang for the buck. Just get a better CPU cooler if possible. Not necessary.

    Incredible value for money. At this price, it cannot be beaten, but the Ryzen 5 5600 is also a steal if you get a good deal.

    Just built a new PC and i ordered this processor. The fan it came with had very little thermal paste on the bottom and it didnt come with extra. I figured that would be fine to put it on still but as soon as i start up my pc it states the cpu is getting hot up to 89 c
