About this product
The Intel Core i5-12400F is a six-core, twelve-thread 12th Gen processor for LGA 1700 without integrated graphics, and it has long been a favourite for budget and mid-range gaming PCs. Removing the graphics unit lowers the price, and in a system that will always have a graphics card you lose nothing in games.
Its six Alder Lake Performance-cores run at 2.5 GHz and boost up to 4.4 GHz, with Hyper-Threading, 18MB of L3 cache and 7.5MB of L2 cache. At a 65W base power rating it stays cool with the cooler supplied in the box, and it pairs well with mainstream graphics cards for smooth gaming, game streaming and everyday multitasking.
Platform choice is where you can save or invest. The processor works with LGA 1700 boards based on chipsets such as H610, B660, H670 and Z690, and it supports both DDR4-3200 and DDR5-4800, up to 128GB. A DDR4 board keeps the build affordable; a DDR5 board costs more today but leaves a better upgrade path on the same socket. Overclocking is not supported, so there is no need to pay for a Z-series board unless you want its extra features.
Remember that without integrated graphics, a graphics card is needed even to reach the BIOS. The processor provides 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes for that card and 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes for an NVMe drive.
For a gaming PC where the money should go into the graphics card, the 12400F is a proven, sensible base.
