With six performance cores and hyper-threading, the Core i5 12400 might be the most desired budget-friendly and properly performing Alder Lake series processor as a gaming platform. It offers heaps of tier1 performance, can be tied towards DDR5 memory and a cheaper B660 chipset.

Intel Warns Of 'Damage' From Non-K Alder Lake CPU Overclocking
"Intel’s 12th Gen non-K processors were not designed for overclocking. Intel does not warranty the operation of processors beyond their specifications. Altering clock frequency or voltage may damage or reduce the useful life of the processor and other system components, and may reduce system stability and performance."...
It's rumored that the unlocked BCLK functionality for non-K CPUs was born of an error in Intel's microcode. Considering Intel's history of shutting down similar loopholes, it's likely that this non-K overclocking fun will be removed in any newer BIOS updates to boards where it is currently available.

They won't patch this out unless they believe it will cannibalise sales of K SKUs. I have doubts that it would. This isn't a CPU that is likely to be bought by people who need the extra performance - but leaving this unlocked is just enough of an incentive to choose it for high performing budget gaming builds.

Sure, but seems they felt the need to reach out to Toms HW again to state this after Der Bauers second vid. OC'ing was never achievable to this level before on the non-K chips, esp the lowest budget AL CPUs.

BCLK overclock with a non-K. This makes this CPU a beast in the budget segment.
Holy crap if its true . That is like we are back to Conroe OC levels
