Intel CPU Core I5 12400F

Do not buy, I repeat DO NOT BUY THESE CHIPS! These chip are faulty! They run hot and asking for more power then they actually need! I done replaced and changed out 2 motherboards, CPUs, ram sticks, SSDs thinking that it was broken when it was the CPU itself.

It lags and freezes bit by bit and frame by frame. It would straighten out and not freeze but only at certain times and if you load it down then it would freeze. It would also suddenly freeze randomly and say it is loaded down if you load one tab of opera or if you refresh a page.

It also randomly get thermal paste under it due to high heat even though we run over 6 fans and a hyper X cooler master cpu cooler. It was just horrible.

We dealt with it for 2 week and just decided enough was enough and done away with intel and got AMD. Good riddance Intel Hello AMD! Definitely do not pair it with a Asus Prime H610M-E D4-CSM Desktop Motherboard – Intel H610 Chipset – Socket LGA-1700 – Pentium Gold, Celeron, Core i5, Core i9, Core i3, Core i7 Processor Supported – 64 GB DDR4 SDRAM Maximum RAM – DI.

You will be returning both at the same time and wasting your time and Amazon supports time at the same time along with UPS time. It also makes your RGB lights DIM and just makes your system run horrible and choppy. The system cannot keep up and have memory problems.

I am running a Game Max RGB VP-600W 80+ bronze PSU and have had no issue running any rig with it.

This chip ended up blowing up and now it no longer works in any rig because it needed more power then it was suppose to.
