Can this CPU support everyday tasks without issues?

It sure can. I put one in a small form factor build and it makes everyday computing a breeze. with integrated graphics hardware video decoding disabled, it can play back a 1080p 60fps AV1 video with no dropped frames and only be at about 10% utilization. Would pair well with most mid range GPUs for a gaming PC. Everyday tasks will not even trigger a turbo boost on this CPU.

Would this CPU be a good fit for office use?

The Intel Core i5-12500 processor offers features such as 6 cores, 12 threads, and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770, making it suitable for office use.

If you have a M.2 SSD on this board, do you onl y have 3 SATA ports available out of the 4?

There are 2ea. M2 sockets. One may be a little close to the sata jack but its over far enough to use all 4 sata four connections.

The Intel Core i5-12500 comes with an Intel Laminar RM1 cooling device.
