Hi guys, I recently just bought an 12600kf for $110 via Newegg TikTok shop. I saw another deal going on there for an 12700kf for $170. I’m currently upgrading from an 12400f with a B660a Pro mobo. What’s the better purchase in your opinion?

What’s your use case and what are you looking to improve? If you are just gaming it’s a pointless upgrade to either of those CPU’s, as the 12400f is already a capable 6-core/12-thread processor so the 12600k would absolutely be a sidegrade at best for $110 unless you really need the e-cores for something? The 12700kf is also a good processor but I’m not sure how big an upgrade it would be from your 12400 either… depends a lot on what you use it for.
Spending $110-$170 on something that has no meaningful impact on performance vs what you’re starting with is a bad purchase. Without more info it’s impossible to give a useful recommendation.
