Intel Core i7-12700K Desktop Processor 12 (8P+4E) Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked  LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

Great cpu performs well but runs hotter. I have a good aio and it runs about 5 to 10 Celcius hotter than 9700k.

Works great, very fast, does everything I need it to do, runs Windows 11 Great, Gaming is Great.

Ich verstehe halt nicht warum ich einen kaputten CPU geschickt bekomme das ist halt einfach nur unnötig und zeitaufwendig

I need a new PC mainly to process photos. I was considering AMD Ryzen 7 5800X when I read the benchmark for Intels 12th generation CPUs are better than the 5800X running Adobe software. But it has a bad reputation for hogging power. The attached screen shot shows that power consumption slightly exceed the TDP of 125W during Lightroom batch export. But to my surprise, once the export is finished, power consumption is very low, even less than my AMD 4800H based laptop. Background processing uses the more efficient E-cores.

Proformance is great and I over build because I try not to overclock. Should last me a long time.

Sold my i9-9900k after using it for a few years and back in Sept. went with Ryzen 9 5900X and MSI B550 Unify X great combo but under water my temps were a bit too high for my standards even with pbo /negative offset settings I wasn’t happy with the temps. This Alder Lake CPU is running at 22c on Idle and 52c to 56 under full load “Gaming at 1440p under an EK D5 pump reservoir . All I can say this thing is faster than my i9-9900K and faster and cooler than my previous AMD Ryzen builds .

Good buy

This CPU has a lot going for it, wether your getting into 12th Gen for its impressive gaming performance or not overwhelmingly expensive prices, this cpu will definitely put the power you need into the system your building & with the right cooler you will never have to worry about this chip getting beyond 40-50c under load with its factory tune. By far one of best decisions i made when i build my friends first pc this year.

Yo trabajo con edición y producción audiovisual, ha mejorado mucho el rendimiento de la PC, sin duda su velocidad base es una gran ventaja, no utilizo OC porque creo que a día de hoy no hay mucho beneficio y perfectamente con la velocidad base puede con las tareas multitasking con programas pesados.

This is a very quick CPU, but it runs hot. Doesnt come with a heatsink. I used a Noctuna double radiator
