Intel CPU Core i7-12700F / 12/20 / 2.1GHz / 6xxChipset / BX8071512700F

Buyer beware that the i7 12700F DOES NOT SUPPORT CPU OVERCLOCKING! Only 12700 and 12700K have overclock capabilities. If you try to enable CPU overclocking in BIOS on the 12700f, you’ll find that it’s locked to 2.1 GHz. The more you know…

Insane value at $310 massive upgrade from 9700k make sure to get a good b660 or z690

Nice upgrade from my old i7.

Paired with a z690 motherboard and Scythe Mugen 5 cooler, the performance is on par with a 12700K (see the picture).On a z690 or b660 motherboard with good VRMs, 12700F can run at high power rating (PL2) continuously. And, a better cooler than the one included, Scythe Mugen 5 for me, keeps the CPU cool to avoid thermal throttling (never exceeds 70C under any load). When paired with a good cooler and motherboard, the performance practically matches 12700K. The latest CPUs are no fun to overclock anymore as they draw too much power and cooling becomes too expensive and noisy for the little performance gain. So, I went with this CPU and completely satisfied.

While this is a great CPU with all the bells and whistles, but for gaming there is not real reason to go with this rather than i5 12600K(F). This may shine in productivity tasks where core count matters more, but overall its a decent CPU.

Ya actualize la bios y todo queda muy bien , muchas gracias

Running this in my sons dual boot Mint Linux/Windows 10 desktop. Linux for productivity, windows for gaming. Everything is smooth, though we did disable the e-cores in linux until the kernel fully supports them. Impressive CPU.

Nada de este producto fue digno de apreciar

i9 12900も検討しましたが、空冷ファンで安定した運用をしたかった為こちらを選びました。結論としては i7-12700Fで十分で、むしろベンチで高負荷掛ける状況でなければ有り余る性能だと思います。最近の部品不足や円安で若干値上がりはしていましたが、それでも消費電力も抑えられていて長く使える良いCPUだと思います。
