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

This is the fastest processor Ive ever owned and with it I upgraded my entire pc. Even though I purchased last years model its still extremely fast and works well.. Make sure you pair this with a good motherboard otherwise it can run pretty hot.

Now has a thin film over it. Don’t know how it receives electricity and signal from the socket on the motherboard, probably similar to wireless charging, but at least it protects the pins so less likely to damage them while handling the CPU during the build. After all CPU is the most or second mot expensive component in a PC build.

Talk about bang for your buck

The processor is amazing. Upgraded from an Intel 8700k. Paired it with 6400 mhz DDR5 memory on a AsRock z690 Taichi motherboard and my Nvidia EVGA 3080Ti and Im consistently in the top 5% of benchmarks world-wide with barely any tweeks except selecting the XMP profile in my bios. Blows away anything currently AMD is offering in the same price range.

If you get this processor it has high temps problems if you look it up you see online that it cant handle top of the line liquid coolers bought intel i9-12900ks works like a champ no high temp problems the best one out there!

This thing is truly impressive. It also comes in a very shiny golden container. It makes you happy the moment you open the package. As far as I have researched this is the absolute best and most powerful processor on the market as or 9/6/2022. I definitely recommend.

It didn’t work and returned it, haven’t been reimbursed after several weeks

I decided after half a decade of using AMD I decided to give intel another try. I am happy to say that they won back another customer. Clock speeds are amazing and processes run seamlessly.

This unit is powerful for all of your needs. Just remember this thing runs really hot!!! Make sure you use a good cooling system. Otherwise, you will have thermal throttling issues.
