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

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 .

Exactly as described

Upgraded my gaming PC from an old i7-6700k and this thing is FAST! It does run pretty hot though, so make sure your cpu cooler is up to the task and you have good airflow in your case. Bonus feature: Doubles as a space heater in the cooler months!

The 12700k easily crushes anything I throw at it, was debating between this and the 5800X but this was cheaper at the time and performs better.

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

Gets the job done takes lots of stress..

Guter Prozessor, kostet aber auch sein Geld. Verursacht bei mir teilweise Spulenfiepen, ansonsten ein gutes Produkt.

No regrets

Very fast at a good price point. Upgraded from i7 series 9. Twice as fast as the previous CPU, when using my astronomy image processing software.

Amazing upgrade from Gen 4
