Drop in upgrade for moat am4 boards, with correct bios Slightly less performance for way less money


Package was exactly what I ordered and worked out of the box without an issue.

fast and does what intel CPUs are known for, being stable and perform exceptionally well.

+ Affordable CPU + Incredibly fast + 12 Cores for more multitasking


Awesome speeds for 65 watts! No need for liquid cooling; wraith cooler is near silent.


Decent CPU for starting a new gaming rig on a budget

Runs Cool runs quiet uses little energy. a great upgrade from my 4790k. Does not break a sweat paired with my RTX 2070 on any of my games. I did not realize how long in the tooth my 4790k was getting until I installed the i512400.


- It exceeded my expectations when compared to my i9-14900k. I get more FPS and lower wattage! an Amazing Combo


If you are looking for the best performance on a budget, this is your chip. I built two systems with similar hardware except for the CPU - one with this and the other with a core 7 265. I can't tell a difference in Star Citizen, one of the most demanding games on a CPU.

Low thermals - very good performance - pretty fast

Fit like a glove into ASRock B450M/AC R2.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Performs well - comes with some heat trasfer ... very quite fan ..



Hexacore and Hyperthreaded.
