i5 7600k vs i5 12400f Absolutely brilliant budget gaming processor. Upgraded from 7th gen core i5 7600k overclocked to 4.6 ghz. On Rtx 4060ti i had 100% cpu usage on 7th gen (bottleneck). On this one never went to more then 60%. So there's still some more juice if you would pair it with some better graphic card. Beign cool and quiet on stock cooler! No need for more unless you're planning to go with Rtx 4080 or higher.
