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

Processor runs reasonably cool, typically 20c less than my GPU on the same water-cooled loop. I installed Windows 11, and it shows 20 cores. Benchmarking with RDR2 shows a laughable difference from an I7-6700K, which is a 7 year old processor; it was 2-3fps on average. Its all about the GPU folks, the CPU after 7 years makes just about 1% difference.

All you really need

It was fairly easy to install components and performs miracles

Contenta con el pedido. Super cuidadoso el empaque.

The processor is easy to install. To use it,

Been using Ryzen for the last 3 years, I upgraded from Ryzen 7 3700X. This is such a great cpu that could easily last the next 5 years.

With an sp rating of 64 I thought I’d lost the silicon lottery but I’m still able to push 5.4 3 cores snd 5.1 all cores on a 360aio in the low 80s under high load for long runs. So even a “meh” is a beast in disquise.

She’s a snappy one. You could overclock it, but you won’t need to right away. It chews through everything very quickly.

Excelente

Easy to install with no issues. Well packaged and arrived on time.
