Intel Core i9-12900K Desktop Processor 16 (8P+8E) Cores up to 5.2 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

It works well when I’m use for the server I’m using, it’s cores handle the tasks well

I bought this with a ASUS z690 gaming board and it wasn’t impressive compared to my similar i9 Core 9900k setup. Not worth upgrading unless you are a 7th Gen or older system in my opinion. Great to have ddr5 support but that isn’t really impressive either. Love intel but I feel like there is a bottleneck with processors these past few gens

Awesome Cpu blazzzing fast !!!!!! for gaming and other tasks . i see that the temps for this cpu work up into the 70s and even higher 80 + my recommendation is to undervote your cpu if your just gaming that will lower temps. With good thermal paste Kingpin cooling KPX and a water cooler im getting 55-58c in gaming hope it helps.

Fast AF Boi!!

The 12900k can be hard to justify. The 12700k is around two-thirds the cost and the difference in performance is only a few percent. Furthermore, you can get away with a moderate cooling solution on the 12700k whereas the 12900k really requires a top of the line cooler which will set you back even more. Even while using the NH-D15 CPU cooler I decided to underclock the 12900k a little bit in order to keep thermals in check, bringing the performance nearer to the 12700k. Given the option to do it over, I would have just gone with a 12700k and saved myself about $250.

This cpu is killer and can literally handle any game you throw at it on max settings, and the same can be said for most workload programs. However I bought it back in early 2022, when it was still way overpriced for what it is now

Very excited to get up and running, came in OG box sealed. Took a long time to get but very pleased

Intel has knocked it in the bleachers with this one. Super fast. No OC necessary. Using it with Win11 and a 3080 gpu. Incredible. Not regretting it at all. Glad I decided to go with Intel on this build

Good

Im very satisfied with this processor, Ive used Intel for many years now and Ive never had any problems with them. Looking back when I first started computer gaming, I was gaming on a 386 dx66 that I bought from Mongomery Wards...lol..
