$149.99 after using the listed promo code FTPBU8562

Seems like a pretty good deal, strong 12th gen i5, 6 core 12 threads. Unsure how long the deal will be going for, I don't see any sale end date. Thought I'd let y'all know about this since I haven't seen it posted when I tried searching beforehand. Compatible with cheap ddr4 and ddr4 mobos. Good for gaming. Not the best in the world, but cheap, and effective in gaming. The F means no integrated graphics meaning you'll need a dedicated GPU for this cpu.

At $25 less than the 5600X, this should generally be a no brainer for new budget builds.... BUT! Are there any sub-$100 LGA 1700 motherboards that aren't garbage?
The i5-12400 using the Intel Box Cooler: Laminar RM1 does not exceed 81°C in a closed chassis during a full load multi-threaded stress test according to https://videocardz.com/newz/intel...rd-chassis and 80°C for https://www.techspot.com/review/2...-i5-12400/

The 5600X using the Wraith Stealth air cooler peaks at 95°C during a full load multi-threaded stress test according to https://www.tomshardware.com/revi...3-review/2
definitely need to factor in overall platform cost including mobo/memory and not just the processor. also, thought i read somewhere the stock intel cpu cooler is quite a bit inferior when compared to AMD so that could be additional cost.

Not realistic in this case, so yes, infinitely more power if possible via software overlock.

I'm very aware it's not practical in this instance which goes back to the premise of my original comment you responded to, but it's your prerogative if you want to software overclock...

No... Anybody who has actually overclocked before w/ sense would've been able to infer that conclusion based on the fact that's what my comment implied 🤦🏽 ♂️🤷🏽 ♂️

Sucks that it can't be overclocked, hence no K in the model nomenclature
100% better reworded as "sucks that it can't be easily hardware overclocked" nod as anyone familiar can clearly see, if anything. Cool

Actually, overclocking from the BIOS gives more power to the CPU.
Exactly! laugh out loud

Quote from FLEX0 :
Clock multiplier is locked, but you can overclock by adjusting the base clock. Caveat is that you need a pretty expensive Z690 mobo with DDR5 for now, but sub-$200 B660 boards supposedly in the works. Do a Google search for "BCLK overclocking". Might as well take the $100 for DDR5 and put it toward a 12600K.
Good info. Repped! nod

Quote from indranrehan :
I just bought a 12700kf, is it worth overclocking for using on heavy loads?

Toms hardware said only a 4% improvement with significant heat problems.
In general it seems like the returns aren't great when overclocking the 12th gen chips. Lots of voltage and heat for small gains, which makes the locked chips look like great value in comparison. The 12400F is 85% of a 12600KF for 60% of the price.
