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

This is a very quick CPU, but it runs hot. Doesnt come with a heatsink. I used a Noctuna double radiator

I can’t believe how insanely fast this processor is. I paired this with a TUF Z690/noctua and couldn’t be happier!

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.

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

CPU did not work

Perfect quality. Everything was as advertised.

The 12700k easily crushes anything I throw at it, was debating between this and the 5800X but this was cheaper at the time and performs better.

This is a great CPU for the money. Sure you can spend more, but its easy to overclock and runs great. The built-in GPU is... meh. Good for work, not games. But its cool that its built in, because if you ever have a problem with your GPU this is a backup. LOVE IT!

Im a first time builder, and Im working with this CPU, it overheat 3 times in bios when i first started out. Overheats on cinebench and some games that push it to about 40% CPU usage. There are work arounds but as a first time builder i would have preferred to not have to deal with that. Nevertheless, at least Ive experienced dealing with a chip that runs very hot.

Very good design, low profile for air cooling, performance as expected
