Intel i5-12500 Reviews

Perfect for specific uses

By Marvin
Rated 5 out of 5

Ordered mine from B&H and arrived quickly with both Heatsink and a fan (though I didn't use it). This is used in my personal server running Local Home Automation, Media Server (Plex), and Surveillance software. [No gaming on this PC]. The 12500 is able to handle all of the above perfectly fine. It runs very cool with the Thermalright P120SE cooler; it stays at 28-30C at idle\low usage and 65-68C max during 100% stress test. I'll be honest, if you'll be using a dedicated graphics card [which you should if Gaming is your thing] but want a good budget CPU, save yourself the money and get the 12400 (even if it's just $10 difference). The 12500 marginal increase in base\boost clock will not be noticeable at all. The only reason to get the 12500 is if you won't be using a dedicated GPU and take advantage of the UHD770 iGPU over the UHD730 that the 12400 sports. UHD770 does twice the video transcoding than the UHD730 and will perform better in light creative solutions or media streaming that takes advantage of Intel's QuickSync and two transcoders.

Great price, better than 12400
