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

Got a bad one. Worked like crazy trying to figure out the issue and on board video was working some but not always. Sent it back and got another that works amazing. Water coolers dont have the correct spacer for this chip but I checked the website and got one for under 10. So factor that into your water cooling cost.

Been using for over 2 months and no issues so far.

Ça marche bien, avec assez de coeurs et de lanes pour samuser sur des machines virtuelles, mais moi qui garde mon ordinateur constemment allumé (inactif, mais avec chrome ouvert et une trentaine donglets dont certains sactualisent tout seuls), jai bien augmenté ma conso par rapport à mon 7700K précédent.

Good buy

Perfect quality. Everything was as advertised.

Definitely be sure to have adequate cooling on this beast - even with a moderate overclock youre quickly drawing a ton of power and making a ton of heat! Great value for money if you need the horsepower for CAD, photo/video work and gaming.

Performs like a beast! Running 5.4 Ghz stable, liquid cooled with no thermal throttling.

Coming from an AMD Ryzen 3700X. For my workflow and use (heavy video editing/rendering & general computing), this CPU rocks. I was surprised to see some operations taking half the time to complete. The difference between waiting a half hour instead of an entire hour is a game-changer for me.

I was deciding between i7-12700k and the i5-13600k.

This is a very quick CPU, but it runs hot. Doesnt come with a heatsink. I used a Noctuna double radiator
