I'm revisiting the option to effectively OC i5-12400.
Have a few questions for those aware of the general operating parameters and conditions required.

- Do you need a 600 series mobo or will 700 still work - B or Z board a key element
- Compared to especially 9600X how large of a single core performance delta can be expected
- Is DDR4 or DDR5 a factor in optimizing memory performance that plays a large part in overall effect
- What sort of power usage/ heat increase accompanies this type of setup
- Any other considerations that have come to light
