A couple free games as well. I didn't care to much about that, but went for the CPU for a new build. More CPU than I need but since the Machine will "knock on wood" last me for five years plus I didn't want to go with a four core CPU not knowing what future apps may require to run smoothly down the line. This is only $45 more than the current gen i3 and has the better iGPU = UHD770

12600k is a great CPU specially if your limited on cooling. My 12600k at 4.8ghz/3.9 is about all my sff build can handle. There have been some pretty good 12700k bundles that have popped up. But for 169.99 that I got it off aaawave for a while ago it was a good enough deal. If your still on win 10 windows 11 has a better scheduler for the e cores found on the 12600k and other Intel cpus

Aaawave is were I got my Motherboard, one day delivery. MSI Z690-A WIFI DDR5. $139.99. Seems a reasonable enough price. Yeah, some of those MC bundle deals are pretty incredible, but that is always the case with tech. A better deal is always just a matter of time. I'm starting the new build today.
Yes if you are mostly a gamer these i5s with a good video card are great performers in 12th or 13th gen. The 2 games are "worth" about $80 so not bad at all.

nice mine is running 1.199 load voltage for 4.8/3.9 and 4.2 on cache. its nothing amazing but with the single tower 120mm air cooler thats about as far as I feel good on pushing it in the nr200. but the ram on this itx board surpised me its running the 6000 kit at 6200 with 1.3v which is below even the xmp and passed 20 cycles of test mem 5. but some of the ram luck may just be from it being an itx board as they normally do better on mem stability.
How are we supposed to get our free games. I saw the intel gamer days website, and it shows as Amazon is a participant, but not received any master key or anything to redeem the games

Newegg has this now for the next 24 hours but about $5 more. If for some reason you like them more or are making an order to Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/intel-core...68191183
Didn't really think it was worth another deal posted.
