Intel Core i5-12400F CPU Processor

Upgraded from a 10 year old 2500k... Night and day difference to my gaming, pc temps and noise. Included fan is also performing well. Great value for money cpu and highly recommended.

Amazing CPU, Fast speeds can handle alot of tasks running at once I used this on my first pc and I couldn't be happier with this product and CCL computers with their great service. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs a solid mid Rance CPU

For the price I don't think its possible to find a better mid-range gaming CPU, performs superbly at a price that is very easy on the pocket. I use this mostly for gaming and some other pc tasks and it's never let me down. Runs cool with the stock fan too.

First upgrade in about 10 years and this CPU blew my mind for the price. Works absolutely fine out the box and look forward to our gaming future together

Upgraded from an i5 2500k, with a new motherboard, the system is now quicker and pushes the GPU a lot harder. Games are a lot better to play.

Wonderful performance, great vfm, pretty terrible cooler. A massive upgrade (naturally lol) from my previous CPU, a ten year old i7 3770k. Didn't change GPU, seeing a 20fps boost to my low end and 10fps average in AC Valhalla. The stock cooler isn't worth installing though. Very loud, spins up a lot, which to me seems like it's barely adequate. I had hoped AMD's Wraith would make Intel respond with better, but no. However it's essentially a free cooler so I'm not complaining.

Affordable, yet powerful CPU

I've got this one for my budget gaming setup and got surprised by its outstanding performance for the price. Paring with a Asus TUF GAMING LC 240 ARGB liquid cooling, the CPU is at 28C in idle and only 54C under 100% load when running Cinebench R23. Performance wise, don't be fooled by its 6 cores, its performance surprisingly close to the much more expensive last gen i9 11900K with 8 cores. Now even a NVIDIA 3090 graphic card is a bottle neck for this CPU, that is crazy. Very quiet under heavy load. Very happy purchase.

Awesome budget CPU

Probably the best CPU I've owned so far, keeps up well with my 3080 and stays cool. I have it paired with a be quiet! Pure Rock 2 and it keeps it around 55 degrees during gaming and is almost silent. My first 12th Gen experience and I've had no stability issues of any kind with it and my B660 board. Given the performance I can imagine almost any decent CPU cooler would work perfectly with it. It performs as well as my R7 5800X in gaming, while staying significantly cooler and being significantly quieter too, not to mention drawing a lot less power. I always recommend the 400 and 500 Intel CPU's, they perform almost as well as the 600K ones while being a lot cooler and using less power, so if you're like me and not interested in overclocking, this is a great all ... MoreProbably the best CPU I've owned so far, keeps up well with my 3080 and stays cool.

Good value for money

It kicks a** by comparison to my previous cpu. Would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade on a budget

Solid CPU

Current generation intel i5 chip - what's not to like? I've put this in my wife's media pc. She wanted something capable of doing a solid job on photoshop/lightroom etc, and this met the mark within her budget. We slapped it on an asus micro atx motherboard with a very fast gen4 m.2 drive and it's now inside a fractal mini pop air (great airflow and small form factor), so it's sitting at good temperatures even with the stock cooler (although we expect it to get a cooler upgrade at some point, maybe an aio). Worth noting - this model saves a few quid by removing the integrated graphics, so make sure you've got a graphics card handy, or you'll need to go for the normal 12400.
