CPU for 3d animations and rendering

Was wondering what would be a good CPU for animations and rendering? I saw a pc that had an intel i5-12400F and was a bit curious on the clock speed. Saw that the base speed was at 2.5GHz, so how important is the clock speed when rendering and what would be a better alternative for this?

 

Program used: Blender

First of, what is the program that you're using?

i5 2400 | ASUS RTX 4090 TUF OC | Seasonic 1200W Prime Gold | WD Green 120gb | WD Blue 1tb | some ram | a random case

Base clock speed is kind of irrelevant. With a proper motherboard and cooler 12400F will boost forever.

Then you'll be fine with the i5. The base speed is what it'll run at when you're not putting load on the CPU. Outside of CPU rendering, blender loves CPUs with really fast cores since most of the other stuff in blender isn't multi threaded.

12400F doesn't need much. The best cheap board would probably be this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KKbTwP/msi-pro-b660m-a-ddr4-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-pro-b660m-a-ddr4 it has enough VRM cooling to run even something like an i7.
