I run this in a ripping/BOINC 130+% CPU environment. It is automatically running constantly overclocked at 4+GHz on my Asus MB and my Mugen 5 revC cooler is readily taking care of what heat it is producing, keeping it well under 60DegC. There is still CPU headroom for my non-constant desktop needs, with instant response. Read more

Seeing how video cards that are 3xxx series are selling for triple list price, I don't want to spend $1K on a video card when I have a GTX 1660, now that I have the i5-12500 my frame rates have gone up significantly in Valerant and other games I play. I went from 65 frames to 300 frames. I am very happy with the 12th gen I5. Read more

Absolutely nothing bad to say about the i5-12500! It bridges the gap between features and performance of Intel's higher end CPU's, which run hot and are prohibitively expensive, and budget entries that are likely to become outdated in just a few years. Very happy with the overall performance of this unit, especially alongside an Nvidia 3080ti GPU for gaming, streaming, encoding, and video editing! Runs cool and fast with good benchmarks. Definitely an ideal choice for a budget-conscious, high-end DDR4 gaming system while waiting for DDR5 to hit better price-to-performance ratios. Highly recommended! Read more

CPUはメモリーに反応してくれているような気がします。16Gから48Gにメモリーを増量したらパソコンが早くなりました。 Read more

Wanted to wait a few months before submitting a review - this processor works great for the price. I had to replace multiple parts in my computer awhile back, which was a pain, but it's in much better shape now. Good processor for my uses, both gaming and online school work. Read more
