Best for its performance at this value
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This CPU has got to be the best 12th generation for its price point. Rather than going with the I seven or the I nine which cost much more, the CPU has almost just as much performance when it comes to gaming

Smooth and buttery performance
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for my needs. Maybe a little over-kill, but I wanted to future proof a bit. I went from a 4th gen i7 to this. Smooth and buttery performance. I'm not a gamer, so the i5 is perfect for me.

Great Bang for buck!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performs well with Windows 11 and gaming. Have not fully tested the overclocking yet as I am waiting to get the bracket for a liquid cooler. I do still wish it came with a stock cooler especially when it is a new socket type.

Good medium tier cpu
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i5-12600kf is very efficient Price/Preformance wise, but doesn’t have integrated graphics which could be annoying when trying to diagnose issues. It’s also superseded by the i5-14600kf and i5-13600kf, but the i5-12600kf is $100 cheaper than both whilst being only 12% worse

excellent value top performance for specific tasks
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.excellent processor, capable of unlocking and gave me reading of 5100 ghz core clock speed even though it says up to 4.9, and this is from a core i5 which means the price was not enormous.

Overclocks like a champ!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely competitive with Ryzen at this time. Waiting for Rocket Lake to get the big boy. the 12600K is more than sufficient for my needs right now and it overclocks like a champ!

Great mid-tier gaming CPU!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still using it to this day since I bought it. This is a really awesome CPU to have, even with my RTX 3080 or 3070 I swapped to, I am not bottlenecked at all. Overall 10/10.

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Possibly the best overall processor to buy right now. Sure, the i7 and i9 or the 5800X3D have a lead in performance, but those parts also cost quite a bit more than the 12600k.
