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

Intel always a good value. This CPU didnt disappoint.

Pushing over 17000 on timespy with this baby without any fancy overclocking. Using the asus tuf mobo because ddr5 is sold out everywhere and the rog mobo wont fit my noctua fan. Check your fans site to make sure you have an lga 1700 functionality and that your mobo doesnt have mechanically problematic design.

Works really well.

My three cents:

This CPU replaced a defective i5 I bought and I couldn’t be happier. It runs fast and pretty cool for my work load and moderate gaming. The price was a steal. If you plan on serious gaming make sure you have decent cooling.

Undevolted and overclocked to 4.8GHz, 170w on Cinebench 23 pushing 23300 points. Under heavy worloads on Cubase I have cpu power to spare, and when exporting an MP3 with 100% utilization, temps stay in the mid 60s with a Vetroo 5 air cooler. Perfect for my needs!

I upgraded from an i7-4770 DDR3 and built a 12700k DDR5 PC and this thing flies. A mild overclock and xmp profile has programs opening instantaneously, and installs are super fast. No real workloads or gaming has been done yet, but I wanted the best, but didnt want to pay 12900k prices, and for gaming the I7 preforms only 1-2% slower according to most reviewers, so I will not be missing that tiny bit of performance.

I use this processor for gaming. Good performance and easy to install. Shipped and delivered fasted than expected. Thumbs up.

This cpu is the best gaming cpu I have ever owned . It runs stable and smooth in windows 11 and for gaming.

Exactly as described
