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

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!

Believe it or not, but under that huge cooler is the Intel Core i7-12700K processor. While I intend to later upgrade to discrete graphics, initially I am using the GPU that is internal to the processor. It was satisfying when I threw the switch the first time and everything just worked. The GPU was powerful enough to run some virtual world software that I use at a good frame rate. I believe I made the right choice in this processor.

No issues & strong CPU!

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.

Great CPU so far. Only limiting this CPU at the moment is the early versions of Z690 motherboard software that might not be overclocking at optimal levels (using auto overclock). Make sure you have a good CPU cooler or a cooler designed for the LGA 1700. Currently the Gigabyte settings for overclocking (bios or windows app) is pushing the CPU above spec and will cause throttling. I am using a Corsair H150i Elite CAPELLIX 360mm.

Pas de problème au montage : jai monté un ventirad noctua NHU12A : quand le proc travaille à 100%, il reste sous les 80°C. En fonctionnement normal, lensemble est silencieux. Attention si la CM marche à la DDR5 : cest 2 fois le prix de la DDR5.

Ich verstehe halt nicht warum ich einen kaputten CPU geschickt bekomme das ist halt einfach nur unnötig und zeitaufwendig

I got the MSI Z690 Edge Wifi motherboard to go along with this CPU. I am super happy with it. It runs cool with my AIO, and pairs well with my RTX 3080 12GB. What more could someone want?

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

Worked as advertised
