  1. Eggy

    A LOT better then my past cpu, absolutely love the performance it gives.

  2. McDoodle

    Solid performance in unreal engine. Somewhat decent render times in Arnold Maya.

    Rather difficult to install cpu cooler. Refer to YouTube videos

  3. WindowsBSoD

    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.

  4. Customer1

    Very nice budget cpu. Have it paired with a b660 motherboard and an rtx 3060ti fe and it really performs well.

  5. Neff

    Great cpu and is very good to the price, i like all of this

  6. GimmedaaterpZ

    Good cpu price match if you can save a couple extra bucks

  7. 1337VTI

    Picked this up on sale for a great price and paired it with the RTX 3080 for 4k gaming. This is just the right amount of CPU for 4K since most games are GPU bound and this CPU does not bottleneck the 3080 very often. I used a $20 ID SE214 cpu cooler with this CPU and the temps don’t exceed 65C at 100% load in my Fractal Torrent Nano case.

  8. Will

    Works great, just as it should. A bigger sale would’ve been nice.

  9. E3EJvilla

    I ended up cancelling my order before it came in – I no longer needed it.

    From the reviews I saw – This appears to be an excellent CPU!

  10. John

    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.

  11. Emrick

    Good price, good performance, light work or gaming should not be a problem

  12. ZoltanB

    very good cpu. it works really well for gaming (word)

  13. Carlos

    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

  14. Steve

    After a lot of research, my son said this was the best speed for the price

  15. Whoisangel

    It’s outstanding the performance with my 3060ti GPU.

  16. Bountyhunter141

    I currently have this paired up with a 3070 and there is zero bottleneck. Easily get 100+ FPS @ 1440 on majority of all games I through at it at Med/High settings. I get about 110 average on Warzone 2/MW2, 150 on Destint 2, and 165 (capped) on Siege. Very strong budget CPU for gaming.

  17. AntonioT

    One of the best budget options for gaming, highly recommended

  18. user747760

    works well as a cpu but pretty slow on start ups and general use.

  19. M4ssAKre

    Perfect processor for the price. Used to build my son’s first gaming rig.

  20. NattyGa

    Does the job well my so. Built a computer over Christmas for gaming and this was what he choose.

  21. Allan

    My son was building his first gaming PC and was looking for a good mid-range CPU. This CPU was the perfect fit and paired nicely with his 3060 Ti.

  22. Jacob

    Honestly for a budget CPU it’s doing wonders and i highly recommend this

  23. Jimmy

    Very good value – not the fastest CPU on the market anymore, but can still do the heavy lifting for a nice price

  24. CoryC

    Best value CPU for LGA1700, if starting with a brand new build I would check prices on the Ryzen 5 5600.

  25. RobertoR

    I bought product for my 14 year old, he is building his own gaming system. It is perfect for his purpose

  26. HugoM

    Great for your first build, It has never failed me, it is worth buying if you are building your first computer

  27. Flopsy

    It is perfect for the price! I paired this CPU up with my 6750XT and it worked amazingly, not a single problem.

  28. ShainB

    came in perfect, now flaws. Installation was pretty easy

  29. JaydenW

    Works very well in my system with a 6600xt! Perfect for a budget build

  30. LomaSoma

    very good 1440p gaming performance. doesn’t run too hot when equipped with a good air cooler. I have a 3070 and i get framerates above 100 in high settings in warzone 2. i also play Overwatch and i max out my monitor at 165fps

  31. ScottS

    Its fast for the value of this CPU. No Integrated Graphics but this pairs nicely with my RX 6600 for 1080p gaming.

  32. AlexisL

    This is a overall great gpu if you are in a budget and want to build yourself a pc i paired this with a 3060ti and got good amount of fps on games like fornite and mw2.

  33. ChristianT

    Amazing hoping I win 400 lol only for the review but yea

  34. JohnN

    i bought one but i had a bad mobo but now i bought a different one and it works fine

  35. Zayan

    Decent midrange CPU with a fairly easy to install fan that has preapplied thermal paste. It runs well and the cooler keeps the temps low and isn’t loud.

  36. HectorV

    This cpu runs better than my 5 5600g on my 1660 super

  37. NikJ

    Works as expected, great value for money. Not much more to say.

  38. ChrisN

    Very fast for music production! I can see the difference when loading samples and plugins in my DAW.

  39. MrOoooWeee

    Ease of use and dies exactly what I want for now.. Thanks..

  40. Thesectettech

    At firts i was considering a ryzen 5 5500, but after testing both fir a while i relized that intel was the way to go, runs queit and is good quality 

  41. BrandonL

    The smaller brother of the 12600k. This also cost a decent amount less than a 12600k while maintaining close performance. Pair this with something like a 3060Ti and you have a well balanced build.

  42. Nathan

    This CPU is fast and reliable. Great for the price.

  43. MarcoH

    Excellent entry level CPU that won’t bottleneck many GPUs while allowing you to stream and have multiple applications running if you intend to watch videos or listen to soemthing while gaming.

  44. Unknown

    Works perfect for my daughter’s new computer. She does some gaming and college work and has no complaints.

  45. hsoliz

    Nice and a smooth cpu. Installed it in my son new gaming pc. Loves it.

  46. MableGreyberry

    I’ve had no problems with this at all. Good speed, but if you don’t work on computers be VERY careful installing this and learn exactly what to do first. Also make sure you get a graphics card because this does not have built in graphics

  47. Moccasinwallowface

    Easy to install and works perfect runs my system smooth

  48. Nickname

    All you need to game solid with. Sweet spot for even high end.

  49. CindyR

    I am in happy with this product as I have built my own computer and researched each component I needed to meet my gaming needs in a computer. I am so happy with the results and highly recommend!

  50. BraydenS

    i loive this item and it looks so good on my pc its verymgood
