Love the budget focused stuff, Jason!! Long time fan of the channel. Keep up the great work!
Hi Funkadelic! I remember you of course! Thanks for sticking with us and glad you are enjoying the videos
Never before seen someone go in depth about every single part of the video showing what’s the best for us, amazing video dude. Keep up the good work!
So glad it was helpful!!
Yeah, I’m impressed when he even went through the audio specs on the motherboard! 9:59
**NOTES: 1) I refer to the ASUS TUF B660M-Plus as having upgraded audio. Sadly it does not. Go for the MSI Mortar, Tomahawk, or Aorus B660M Pro instead. 2) The stock cooler has a reflective ring, not an LED ring light**
What i5 12400 Build are you looking to do? Or are you considering Ryzen 5600X, i7 12700, or something else?
How do i find out if RAM is single or dual rank?
I'd love to see the i5 12600k from you. Love the videos and seriously much appreciated.
We've actually got that video already! You can find it on our "builds and parts" list on the channel page
answered this on your other comment (:

Just finished building my new PC and have to say a massive thanks for all your videos and tips, I definitely wouldn’t have ended up with anything close to what I’ve got now without your help! Plus the content is really enjoyable so I’m going to stay subbed and keep watching despite having nothing left to build 🤙🏻
Thanks Jason!
Congrats on your new rig! So glad we could help with it. Thank you for the great feedback it means a lot to us and I hope you keep enjoying the videos!
Bro.... You can't post you built a new PC and not list your specs. If you don't post your system specs on PC Builder then it didn't happen.😀

I always love watching your videos(even I built mine awhile ago). Ive been in your channel since you had 10k and youre already at 128k, this is not surprising with the quality and the knowledge you share with all of us gamers.
Thank you so much for being with us for so long! It means a ton and we are really glad you still enjoy
I researched many days before I finally built my PC 2 weeks ago. I use 12400, and this video is totally on point. I ended using most of the components recommended in this video 😀 Good job!
So glad we could help! Congrats on your new PC!
If you used the graphics card and mother board, what power supply did you use? I’m not sure if I can use a 750w what this or not
Chief Cat! Awesome video! It really makes the difference in the intel sku's make easier to understand. Super stoked to know that we're finally being able to buy new GPU's again too!
Thanks again Zach!!!
Love your videos, always so informative and I love your energy
Thanks for the feedback! It means a lot to us!
I was looking at the Intel 12400 to build an upgraded system as my workhorse of 8 years died on me. I found this video and this is incredibly informational and well put together, I haven't seen your videos before but definitely subscribing now.
Thank you for the sub! Welcome to the channel
What's your specs build with 12400? I wanna know. Thank you
I took your advice and built the I5 12400F + RTX 3070 combo . That is exactly what I needed for 1440p gaming experience . I can get more than 300 fps in ultimate graphic setting in some AAA games .
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
That's awesome! Congrats on your build and so glad we could help. Thanks for letting us know!
I just found your videos and I love it! Exactly what we need. GOOD JOB
So glad you found us! Welcome to the channel
I think you do a good job representing real questions that real people have in real builds. Good job.
That's great to hear! Thank you and glad you enjoyed
Speaking of budget builds, your monitors list was very helpful.. Got an gigabyte m27q for $292 before taxes. Best buy had open box excellent available. $329 normally. I'm very pleased with it so far.
Awesome! Great panel!
This is the build I was trying to make you just made my life easier
So glad we can help! Best of luck with your build and links for our recommendations are below
Another great video. Thanks, Jason!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
Like your build, you packed a lot of value into that video! Love how you show where you can get (or is some cases, not get) extra performance for more money.
Really glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching
Great work on the 12400. This and 5600X are probably the most popular gaming PC for most people. It will be great if there is a link to show how to remove the power limit for 12400. In addition, what will be the performance impact if the users do remove the power limit for the 12400.
Due to the crazy pricing on the GPU. Unfortunately most of us have to limit our budget on the CPU/MB and other components.
Thanks!!! Planning on doing a "how to set up your pc after build" kind of video where I'll show how to do this. Unfortunately each bios (gigabyte, asus, asrock, msi) are different for this.
I am planning on upgrading my i5-7400 and this review really sold me on t 12400 but I might get the 12400f because its cheaper. I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and has really helped me decide on what cpu I should get
Do it! I came from an i5 7500, I had no idea how much the cpu was bottlenecking my gpu..
So glad we could help! Best of luck on your build. Its a great CPU
Great timing to see this video
THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE WHOLE TIME😍😍😍
The Problem with the higher Memory frequency has almost no effect to the Performance increase is due to the fact the timings are higher on Memory with higher frequency - in this case. If you would have used a Memory with higher than 3600 MT/s (3600 MHZ = 2x1800 MHz), the timings would get relatively lower on the Memory although the CPU does not support that high frequency. In this case the Memory would reduce it´s supported frequency to the highest the CPU provides, the timings would get lower as well, so the performance increase should be significantly higher. (usually the mainboard always provides much higher memory-frequencies than the CPU for it´s Generation/Socket). Not to mention the much faster, but also expensive DDR5 (maybe not in future)...-> Much higher Memory Frequency -> lower Memory timings -> higher FPS
It´s also to mention if you have only one or up to six memory modules and if the memory has one or two ranks, this would boost the FPS as well a bit, if there were more.
I also found that when comparing more premium MB's prices for 5600x and 12400 the total cost was almost the same, I went with Intel this time, because the platform is newer, and the b660 board I got had 2,5gbe, which was notably lacking on the b550 offerings
Although I just got a 2.5Gbps modem (for getting 1+Gbps speed), there's a serious lack of 2.5Gbps routers at the moment. You can find some switches, but I can't find any decent Routers with multiple 2.5Gbps (for both input from modem, and output to LAN)
@@Kermeous I got one were you can reconfigure the WAN port to 2,5gbe but it’s only available in Germany
@@DerSchaddan I plan on getting an ASUS AX-86U that you can do that with, but its only one port. If I want to have the modem input 2.5gbps its locked to that port, with no way of distributing the 2.5Gbps out via ethernet.
Might have to get the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX6000. It's one of the only ones
Great video Jason. After binge watching your videos i recently bought 12400F and amd 6600 gpu combination pc. It comes with asus prime h610m-K motherboard. It was a pre build and didn't have option to change motherboard to H660M unfortunately. It was a great price at the time i bought so i had to buy it :) I wonder if i can still increase the power limiter from that motherboard thought?
Great video! Can't wait for this year's surprises
Thanks for watching! Me too!
Awesome detailed advice!
Don't understand the part about the need for 12600K to pair with 3080 for 4K gaming though. Why? Coz often being GPU bound, isn't the 12400F good enough? I still believe in the saying that @4K gaming, CPU don't really matter.
I was wondering about this as well, I was about to go for the 12400F + 3080 combo too. I really wish he would've elaborated more on the reasons why this is supposedly a bad idea, since his videos are otherwise so in-depth.
For cooling, you gotta start recommending the Gammaxx 400. It comes with mounting hardware for just about every relevant CPU socket and the brackets for adding a second fan and the cooling is fantastic. All for under $20 and if you get the blue version they're only $15. I'm using it (with a cheap (3pack for $10), no name second fan added to make a push pull configuration) to overclock my 5700G iGPU to 2400MHz at 1.3volts and temps still stay in the 40s while playing Cyberpunk.
Yes that is one I often recommend! Some people don't like the LED which cannot be turned off, so I typically mention the ID Cooling one which is a couple of dollars more.
Bro i m buying a 12600kf and for that will deepcool gammax be enough?? Consider normal room temperature is around 35 and no ac coz in my room there's AC but no space for computer desk so will setup my computer in hall..and if deepcool gammax is enough then which one should i buy gammax 400 v2 or gammax 400 pro..can afford both of these ,so pls tell which one would be nest for cooling
@@AyushGarg82 the Gammaxx 400 is basically a Hyper 212 EVO clone so your 12600f should be fine especially since it can't overclock. As for the V2 or the Pro, I'd say if you happen to have an extra 1200mm fan I'd get the V2 (that's the route I took but I lucked put and was given a fan that cost about as much as the Gammaxx itself) but if not and there's room in your budget for it, the second fan for the Pro model will definitely help.
One thing you need to do is make sure you can fit the Gammaxx in your case. If you're using PCpartpicker and already have the case you want selected, the Gammaxx (and other coolers that won't fit) won't be listed when you go to select a CPU cooler and same thing if you pick your cooler first.
@@Stonerman135 bro m choosing antec df600 flux (coz i love its looks) and gammax 400 v2 is being shown in the pc part picker but the gammax 400 pro is not available with any case so i think there's some problem in the website..can u pls check the cabinet and tell whether it will support gammax 400 pro? motherboard i will be buying is msi pro b660m a wifi.....And one more thing if possible can u give your social media I'd where i can contact u? I have some doubts in other pc parts as well
My 6 year old 400 w/ 2 fans in push pull still cools my 6600k (4.5ghz) to 60c max. Wonder how it holds up to newer CPU that pulls more power.
Exactly what I was looking for 🗣️💯
Awesome! hope its helpful!
Thanks! I'm looking at building 2 budget PCs this year. I'm still thinking of budget, but your videos really help!
Nice! Check out our Best Budget Gaming Builds 2022 video on the channel too! Might be helpful
The i5 12400 is simply an incredible deal. I recommend it to everyone building a midrange build. It’s a no brainer. On the lower end I always recommend the 12100. I don’t recommend AMD simply due to the all the issues AMD platforms have given me over the years. Including AM4.
Especially when you get a b660 bored with external clock generator and run it at 5.0ghz+
I just got a MAINGEAR prebuilt with an i5 12400 a b660 board a 3060ti 16g of 3600 ram for 1199$ it’s my first pc so I hope I got an ok deal
"I don’t recommend AMD simply due to the all the issues AMD platforms have given me over the years. Including AM4." Huh? AMD's AM4 has been the most stable and long-lived platform I've ever used, and I've been using PCs since my first AMD 386/40MHz back in 1991. This sounds more like an paid Intel comment than an honest report of user experience.
Should I be worried if I bought g-skill 32gb 2x16 rip jaws V series 3200mhz cl16 ddr4 ram? Should I buy the smaller ram?
@@Moshe_Dayan44 Maybe, his experienced with AMD wasn't good and that's okay, My first PC (i3-10 MSI H410) and 2nd PC (i3-12 Asus B660) GTX1650, gotta be honest, the first one gave me a TERRIBLE experience with ~2 years BSOD every few days/hours. ps: *I tried everything :v*
I've thought about giving AMD a try since but in my place every good AMD part costs 10-20% more than Intel + out of stock, even pre-built. So for the sake of my wallet and peace of mind, my 2nd PC is Intel, and it works great this time, amazingly tbh.
4:33 You say the RTX 3060 is a more reasonable buy for an i5 12400 build, but I respectfully disagree. If you go with a 3070 or 3080, it's assumed you will be gaming at 1440p or even 4k, where the GPU matters a lot more than the CPU. Benchmarks show that the i5 12400 will not bottleneck a 3080 at those resolutions. So, for a dedicated gaming PC, my advice would be to just stick to an i5, save money, and buy yourself the biggest graphics card your budget allows.
Hi Jason,is it ok pairing I5 2600K with ASUS Prime B 660M-A?i don 't overclock and rarely game,only use it for photo and video rendering,thanks
Great video! Thank you so much for making it! I JUST purchased this CPU 2 days ago and I'm glad to see that my choices for this first build of mine are good. This will be a learning experience but I can do it.
Awesome! Best of luck with your build!
Which mobo u used with this cpu
With the I5 12400 I'd start with a better upgrade path on the motherboard and spend more on a full ATX Z690 board in the $200 price range compared to a upper end B660M at the $170 range. My choice would be the Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4.
Agree with this too but do you recommend DDR5 for better future proofing?
Another great video Jason
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying!
Im planning to upgrade my build and i already own a ATX case that i really enjoy,i noticed that you only recommend mATX boards(i assume its priece related). Which ATX boards would you recommend for a gaming build with an 12400F + 6600 xt?
Great video. I learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your hard work on this video.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for posting. Always love your content 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Hello Jason, right now in my region only gigabyte B660m gaming x ax and MSI Pro b660m-a wifi motherboards are available. I saw hardware unboxed telling about the excellent VRM per by MSI variant but he didn't cover the mentioned gigabyte variant so which board should I consider. Basically I like the look and design of gigabyte also it has pre installed i/o shield which is plus for me but does it performs similar to MSI variant which has 12 phase VRM phase and can handle i9 12900k (PL removed). Please help me choose one.
This is the exact thing my cousin was looking for , I'll share it with him , thank you
Great! Best of luck with their build!
Hello, i am new to your videos but they are really helpful. I watch them because im planning on buying new pc strictly for gaming. Im stuck between i512400 vs i512600k vs 5600x. I know it mainly depends on budget but would you say that it is worth buying i5 12600k over i512400 when the dffference in fps is not that huge and maybe save some money for better gpu? Right now im using i5 4460 so every change will be a huge boost but i overthink to much
Thanks man, this was the right video I was looking for, this is the rig I'm supposed to build soon. 👍🏻😀
Glad I could help!
I could have really used this 2 weeks ago when i started buy my parts. but i'm actually building my 1st pc today, so its still nice to see this and be able to compare this to what i bought
Best of luck with your build! Let us know how it goes on twitter @pcbuilderjason if you like
Appreciate the video, really helpful. Does it help having an integrated graphics with a dedicated GPU in GPU dependent rendering ?
Obrigado me ajudou muito a tomar uma decisão pela memória de 3200Mhz! 🙆🏻♀️
Hey, Jason. I have a question. Is the MSI MAG B660M Mortar DDR4 still a good choice for an i5 12400F build? PCpartpicker says it's incompatible when compared to some other boards which are much more expensive. The MSI B660M Mortar is currently on sale for only $128, that's why I'm wondering.
So helpful, really the best!
So glad! Thank you for watching
Hey Jason, I don't know much about motherboards, have a hard time determining a good one. I went with a Asus Prime z690m plus d4 for my budget 12400, how does it compare? Was that a good deal for $180?
I am building and at the point of cpu mobo for next parts. I have a thermaltake 850w and Versa N24 case and the cooler you showed there (I had gotten that for $16 a few months ago and was happy to see I have that free bracket). I want to get a board with 4 memory slots to add 2 more sticks at a later date to come to 32gb. I plan on the i5 12400f as I am getting a 3060 (ti if lucky)later. Do you have a recommendation for a board for this config?
hey pcbuilder, don't some 12th gen intel motherboards allow like a permanent boost phase instead of limiting it to like 8 seconds or whatever?
hello, i have a question. What are the differences of b660m and z590? and if I want to upgrade higher CPU and GPU in the future, which motherboard is better ?
hi i have a question, have you ever tested the msi pro b760m-a wifi ddr4? is this board as good as msi pro b660m-a wifi ddr4?
I got the b660m and I’m bout to build my board with the i512400f did they ever figure out the bios update where you didn’t have to mess with it?
This is precise. Good work!
Glad you think so! Thank you for watching

Hi there!
Would you pair i5 12400 with rtx 3080 ti as a streaming/gaming build?
Does it makes sense to pair z690 with i5 12400? Or should I get 12600 for that specific motherboard?

Hi, may i used to xtx 3080 GC in i5 12400 after some months ( budget issue)??
Would this work for a video editing/gaming setup?
Will it be worth getting the i5F for my 3070 to replace i58600k if I dont play over 120 fps in any scenario
Hey, I love your videos!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
shoul I try to get a different cpu if I dont only want to game but also want to do some small 3d rendering and coding?

@@PCBuilderChannel sir what do you think about asus h610m a?
maybe it's features are very less but...
are it's vrms better than b660m ds3h?
like both are same price, but
i just feel like b660m ds3h is lowest price b660 mobos so it has features but vrms maybe weak
but asus h610m a is high price h610 mobos, so its vrms maybe better than b660 ds3h
@@PCBuilderChannel or do I take Gigabyte B660m DS3H or Msi B660m pro-E?
Great video, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching
I just purchased AVGPC Quiet Series Gaming PC Intel Core i5 6 Core 12400F up to 4.40 GHz, 16GB DDR4, GeForce GTX 1660. Your videos helped me decide on what pc to buy. Thank you. I do multiple things such as streaming, editing and rendering as well as VR gaming. Just subscribed.
just curious but in the test you didn't use ray tracing does this mean a 3060 and i5 combo won't work well for it ?
What ATX motherboard do you recommend buying right now for the i5 12400f cpu?
Hi Jason. Just finished the Intel Core i5-12400F gaming desktop computer build yesterday using the links in your video description. Thanks for this great and informative video.
Thank you for supporting the channel! Congrats on your build.
What do you think of the gigabyte b660 gaming x ddr4 (€159)? I need 4 fan pins for my case
This helped me a lot, thank you sir :3
So glad we could help!
Would you say you chose the ASUS TUF because it's one of the only boards that come with PCIe 5.0? MSI Mortar/Tomahawk/Aorus boards do not.
Next gen GPU would require PCIe 5.0?
I wanted to build a pc to gaming, streaming, edit videos and get started in 2d animation. Would the r5 5600x or the i5 12400 be better? the motherboard I wanted to buy was the Asus TUF gaming b660 plus WiFi D4 or the Asus prime b66M-A wifi D4 with the 3060 ti or 3070. What do you think?
Hi, maybe dumb question but would a CoolerMaster hyper 212 2023 edition also be good for this CPU? I am in big doubt what CPU cooler to get but I really like the 212 2023, also at the price of €25
Loved the video, this time around i'm considering building either with a 12400F to may upgrade on 13th gen or go straight with a 12700F idk. And probably will wait next gen gpus cause my laptop is 3060. Either way i don't think we will see msrp before the end of summer but by this time RTX 4000 and RX 7000 will be not far away so there's also that point.
Great informative video as always. 👍
So glad you enjoyed!
Still no go for gigabyte? My current gigabyte, the one you previously recommended has just went out.
Hello jason, how to update my gigabyte b660m bios and turning off power limits cause i have i5 12400, also how to change ram speed cause my desktop builder didnt change my ram speed to 3200 mhz. the task manager only says i have 2400 mhz
Does the msi h610m-e pro already have wifi compatibility?
Does it have to be DDR4 or can it run ddr5 mixed with the right mother board?
Hi, currently I have a Ryzen 3 3200G, a GTX 1650 DDR6 and 16 Gb at 3000 Mhz of ram (Crucial Balistix) but I want to improve this config by buying the 11400F (of course a new motherboard is required) but I don't want to change rams right now.
Will I gain in performance by coupling the 11400F with the 1650? because with the tests I saw on youtube, I don't feel there is a big difference with the 3200G + 1650 combo or am I wrong?
If I specified the brand of rams it is to know if they are compatible with the 11400F, I like these rams because they operate at 2666 Mhz base without going through the bios so no need for OC.
huge thanks for this video! although I chose the right combo by myself, having it confirmed by you is great relief.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed and congrats on your build
Must say I don't have it yet because I struggle on choosing case :/ is big difference from user perspective between ATX and smaller boards?
Wait asus tuf b660 is bad?
Thanks for the video. Always fond of budget builds.
Glad you liked it!
What do u think about the motherboard ASUS TUF Gaming H670-PRO WiFi D4? it is good?
Your videos have been really helpful while selecting the right components.
Could also coment on which budget GPU (min 8 GB) would be better for video editing using adobe premiere pro, after effects, blender when clubbed i5 12400
Is 1660 super a good card to pair with the 12400f?
Can I cheap out and use a ATX case and install the Matx motherboard in that
I've been watching and comparing gpu and components for the last year. i resurrected an i7-860 with more memory, a ssd and a gtx 770. at 5760x1080 I'm still playing couple year old games (@3840x760) lol. this video helped a lot and whilst not the most powerful, i think the upgrade will be significantly noticeable.
Why did you switch from msi x570 that can upgrade to b660 that can’t handle higher CPU’s?
Hi Jason! Thanks so much for your video as it inspired me to build my very first PC using the same CPU. I've heard and seen some videos of overclocking the 12400 on Z690 boards. Is it worth upgrading to Z690 for this reason, if that is the case, and do you recommend that based on price vs performance? Thank you in advance!
Just for background, I was going to pair the i5-12400 with 2x8GB DDR4-3200 CL16 RAM, RTX 3070 Ti (that I was able to snag for under $750!), and the same motherboard shown in your video.
