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

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。

Upgraded from an i5-7500. Have been considering whether should go for AMD or Intel for this upgrade and finally decided to give an Intel a try after reading the positive reviews of the Alder Lake.

I built a gaming desktop PC with this cpu and a Zotac 3080 trinity GPU. I get higher frame rates with this cpu than the zotac 3080 while playing the new call of duty mw2. I get max:200fps with this cpu and max:165 fps with the gpu, while doing the benchmark test, COD has in game. Keep in mind, I am not the most tech savvy, when it comes to computers and over clocking.

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 .

Fast and seamless but needs a beefy cooler

Hovers around 30° even while playing games on high graphics all night even with my cheap cooling fan, no problem keeping up with many programs open I don’t think I’ve seen it past 12% use in task manager so far

Intel always a good value. This CPU didnt disappoint.

the CPU works great and is super fast. i didnt really want to pay for the latest and greatest, mainly because i have found that a 10% increase can add 50% to the price of the CPU. one thing to watch out for, there is no cooling fan in this package, so you have to buy one. you can get the CPU with a fan, but its a different part number. personally, even though it cost more to buy the fan separately, i believe the Noctua cooler i got will work much better than anything Intel provides.

the cpu seem fine ( no noticeable damage ) but for me that unboxing look very sketchy and low quality for a 600$CAD product

Just avoid this cpu all together unless youre a fanboy or stuck on anything older than 4th gen. Both i5 and i7 here on a rtx 3080. Gaming is pointless on this cpu and its just a fact. In 1440p and 4k u gain absolutely nothing over my old 10700k. Except for horrible Temps. This will average Temps at least 10c higher then previous Intel or my ryzen 5900x. And worst part is Intels unnecessary change in cpu cooler layout. U will spend weeks finding a cooler or trying to get manufacturer to send u a bracket to update existing cooler. Literally had to return my first one I purchased from best buy because I couldnt even find a cooler within the 15 day return policy and didnt want stuck with a DOA product. And the fact AMD is already releasing ryzen 3d which surpasses this by 20% it makes this jump to Intel again pointless. Because we all know Intel will change socket and layout again leaving us stranded again with no cooling options. Worse part. Not even a cooler in box to test cpu with. Had to buy a hideous noctua as it was only thing I could get my hands on that fit
