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

This 12th Gen Unlocked CPU is amazing for a Gamer PC Build compared to the Ryzen 5000 Series. The new LGA 1700 boards have an added benefit compared to the aging AM4 boards. This CPU support PCIe 5.0 and DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. I like how efficient Intel designed it because the P cores are optimized for gaming while the efficient E cores deal with the background tasks. Make sure to buy a good AIO cooler because the CPU will run hot when there is lots of load! Please note a new Intel CPU will come with its Intel factory seal outside the box. Moreover, I ran the CPU under 6% when running Minecraft with raytracing.

I think all of the modern chips are overpriced since the great shortage but I wanted a new pc and chose what would be best for my application. Runs great (if a little hotter than I was anticipating) and I havent had any problems yet.

Works as expected. Great price-performance from this chip, huge upgrade from my Ryzen 2700x.

Ive had this overclocked at 5.0 GHz for a couple weeks now and it hasnt skipped a beat. I bought an MSI Z690 MPG Edge Motherboard to pair with this beast of a chip. Keep in mind, it does NOT come with a cooler so make sure you have a reputable thermal paste and a solid cooler to pair with this. I have a pre-filled watercooler (Corsair Hydro Series H115i Pro) which is giving me temps idle as low as 19°C (not joking, look at the picture). Under full load, I have yet to hit over 50°C even gaming at 1440p (2k resolution). If Im being quite honest, this CPU is overkill for gaming. If you have the extra money, go for it. If not, a i5-12600k will be just as powerful for less money.

If youre thinking about it and you have a 7700k or earlier, just do it; its time..... Almost 50-100% increase in fps in all games and can play some games I couldnt before.... Get an LGA1700 360mm radiator for super cool temps... And get a DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 board for Gods sake lol dont get DDR4 like a clown

Bonjour, processeur fait pour le gamig, rapide, efficace et simple. Attention de bien prendre une carte mère compatible !

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

Performance is perfect for gaming

GREAT CPU, GREAT PRICE, FAST SHIPPING!!!!

Upgraded from an i5 7500 to the 12700k. Definitely worth it, pairing it with a GTX 1070ti and the extra cores definitely help in a lot of games.
