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

Coming from an AMD Ryzen 3700X. For my workflow and use (heavy video editing/rendering & general computing), this CPU rocks. I was surprised to see some operations taking half the time to complete. The difference between waiting a half hour instead of an entire hour is a game-changer for me.

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.

Overall, I believe at the time of this review that the 12700K chip is the best value for the power you can get. My typical price point is about $350-400 and with 12 cores, it is an awesome upgrade from my 3rd Gen Ivy bridge processor. It was simple to install and worked perfectly with no issues.

Excellent productivity. No cons.

The 12th gen i7 12700k is one of the best gaming CPUs on the market when you even out all the factors including budget, speed, performance, overclocking, etc. I have a 3 fan AIO to cool this beast, I recomend you do the same to ensure a long lasting chip.

Coming from 10400F

This is the most anyone should need for a while as of 2022 (at least for gaming).

Came on time, works great, hasn’t failed so thats good. Serves my purposes.

Este procesador tiene unas capacidades brutales en gaming y multinucleo, es muy estable... pero en overclock puede llegar has los 312Watts preparate una fuente que soporte.

OK
