Which cpu

[Pkl]

Now i have rx 6700xt and h610m s2h ddr4. And i need a cpu for about 250-260Eur. I was looking at i5-12600k.

With no VRM heat sink on that motherboard, I recommend a cheaper CPU. The i5-12400 would be a better option, or a 12400F. Although if neither of these are cheaper than the 12600K, it wouldn't really make a difference.

 

if you update the BIOS, you could also consider a 13400

Thats literally just a crippled 12600k

 

Either the 12600k(f) be it new or used depending on if used saves abit of money

 

Or the 13500 which will be more worthwhile than a crippled 12600k (13400)

On the other hand, you could consider it a cheaper, lower TDP version. Which is my main point, I don't think it's worth the extra cost to put the better CPU in this particular motherboard.

 

If OP can't get the 13400 for cheaper than the 12600K it's moot, though.

The 12600k particularly the kf can be cheaper sometimes or atleast the same price

 

And itll generally be cheaper than the 13400 if you buy it used

Can you return that mobo, as others have said the vrms really aren't up to it. Then you can get a 12600kf and a z690 (one from NZXT), just be sure to get a decent enough cpu cooler like the thermalright PA120
