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

Fast smooth and runs cool with DeepCool AS500 PLUS at stock without any problem, very pleased with this processor.

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

Exactly as described

Good buy

Insane cpu normally pushing 5100MHz has even gone up to 5500MHz.

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.

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

I produce music and visuals as my main PC usage and I have been super happy with the performance of this CPU. Given some high performance nvme you will not be disappointed.

Almost went with the 12900K, but chose this due to not needing another 4 cores for $300 extra. It’s been a couple weeks and been flawless.

Built my own computer and this was key to making it work. Great value. Happy with my purchase.
