This Cpu was test bench/benchmark cpu used sub 3 months @ 3-4 hours per day 3 days a week. Realistically 12 hours avg per week max for 3 months. Its among the 99th percentile (with my overclocked settings) of all recorded I5-12600K Cpu's that Userbenchmark has benchmarks/records for. Other words, its top of the silicone lottery. Absolutely no Signs of degrading or problems in the slightest for that matter, stock settings or overclocked. Ran 6000 c38 DDR5 without a sweat and positive capable of up to 6800 maybe 7000.
