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

my previous system (which I also loved) contains a Ryzen 9 5950x, this one smokes it. Thats just the way it runs, I dont run any benchmarks or tests other than the occasional video test. but this one just seems to do everything faster (as it should). However, to be fair, two years later and just about everything that could be upgrade from the 5950 system got upgraded.

Well worth the wait! This thing is fast. Love it, doesn’t get as hot as others are saying, I’ve got it paired with a 360 AIO so maybe that’s why.

Muy bueno. Satisfecho!

Latest gen, as fast as they come, and a good price to boot.

You get what you pay for...... If you want the fastest chip on the market - this is the chip for you. But it is just as expensive. Also, get a big cooler as this thing gets hot under a load.

If youve seen anything about it, youll know this bad boy loves to get fired up. Typically running cpu intense games at max graphics brought this chip up to 100°C! Thats tjmax! Ouch! I have a kraken x52 strapped to it as well and still needed to undervolt, which is probably saving her life. Once you do though, And properly, theres honestly no performance drop. Its definately too good of a cpu for what I use it for, I just like to say I have it. Definitely water cool this thingz unless you know what youre doing. Also, you might want to get one of those thermal grizzly mounts for it. Do it right the first time you mount it, and dont let it bend under those extreme temperatures.

Im coming from a 3930k CPU that has performed its duty for many years in my custom build. So when I say this 12900kf zoom zoom zoooooomms, I mean it... Im running it with the NVIDIA RTX 3090 GPU and 64gb DDR5 4400 RAM. Well worth the money if you are into graphic design and video production using adobe software. I also do music production using Presonus Studio One 5.4 and up with Waves, izotope, and many other VTS and VSTi plugins. I cant say enough it simply makes my life easier and Im glad I got it!

The only measurable task I have is video editing. This processor cut the time by 60-70%!

If you need the speed Id recommend this CPU. Coupled with windows 11 you will have a power house gaming/media production system. Be sure to get a quality cooling system. At full tilt this CPU will be creating over 260 watts of heat.

I love it!
