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 .

If you are using this hard, get a large cooler, it has many cores and they can generate heat. That done, it is great.

自分のCPUが結構古いので、12年ぶりにアップグレードしました。

Excellent upgrade option.

After reading reviews of the I9-12900k, this seems like a better choice to me regardless of price. I am seeing very little difference in single threaded benchmarks, and maybe 15-18% faster multi threaded performance on the I9-12900k. But that comes at the price of using a lot more power and hitting over 90 degrees Celsius in some cases on temperatures when stress testing. While I dont normally overclock my system, I bet you could likely hit those performance numbers with an overclock on the 12700K if you really wanted to.

Cheap

Upgraded from 6700 6th gen i7 and love the upgrade!

This thing is a beast, I have not countered any issues whatsoever. Awesome upgrade!

It is an Intel CPU, what more is there to say. Easy install. Working great in my new PC build.

No issues & strong CPU!
