Intel Core i5-12400 Desktop Processor 18M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz

Basic modern build. Add a fantasy gpu for high ratings.

Amazing processor, fast and reliable. It is my first time building a pc and the result was amazing. The processor is more than enough for what I usually do with my computer. Dont expect much from the internal graphics although

Get a different cooler though as we all know the base coolers are not worth much. 12400 provides similar performance as 12600k and uses half the energy. You probably dont need 12600 unless youre multitasking heavy programs, 12400 is enough for streaming and gaming while recording gameplay and listening to music and having 10 tabs open on internet .

Good for everyday basis.

Got it for the wife, just uses it for web browsing and emails lol. Its enough for her.

I wasnt expecting much out of this CPU but it runs 3D CAD software better than my old i7-6700k and completely blows it out of the water with rendering and tool path generation. For the price its dang near perfect. Its about 20% slower at generating tool paths than an i5-12600k but way faster than the previous generation CPUs. Its definitely a jump forward from the i5-11400 and about equivalent of an i5-11600k or a 10th gen i7

Good cpu, that runs well. Only issue is the cooler it came with was not stock, and it did not fit the in the motherboard like it was supposed to.

Good

Good temperatures, i was surprised by stock thermal paste, good performance and quiet
