As title says. Want to build cheap multimedia (plex) and gaming pc. Cpu will be paired with b660/b760 32gb ram I have already rx5700xt, case and 750w seasonic psu.

Is it worth paying extra to buy 12500t rather than 12100? Can either be undervolted and tweaked for extra performance (unlock thermal and power limit?

Thanks

I managed to find a cheap msi mpg z690 edge wifi and klevv bolt x 2x16gb 3600 cl18 to pair with 12500t. Can't wait to run some benchmarks.

I've read some reviews saying 12th gen is difficult to cool (transfer heat to cooler) I hope the be quiet tf2 dark rock will manage those 74w (turbo) 😅
