    one of the best value cpus to come out in the last 5 years. Power efficiency is insane. Using less than 10w at idle and is able to tie previous 8 core I9 processors for multicore performance. doesnt provide the same performance as some newer amd offerings but have seen less driver and motherboard issues on 12th gen intel platforms

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is a decent processor if you dont mind its lack of an iGPU, or only 6 cores. If youre considering a build in 2024, I would reccomend going with an 8 core CPU instead.
