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

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

I had been planning to hold off for Raptor Lake, but my Z370 mobo died, and I decided to go ahead and get an Alder Lake i7. So far its impressive. It runs much cooler than my i9-9900k (mild OC) ( 59C-63C under a gaming load vs 75C+) but that couldve been due to the my old AIO being in its death throws for the past few months. 3DMark CPU score went up noticeably as well. Overall, Im pretty happy with it. Havent messed around with overclocking yet, but there doesnt seem to be as much headroom left as there used to be, from what Ive read 5.3 Ghz is about what you can expect. The days of getting another 800Mhz - 1 Ghz+ over stock clocks out of a CPU are gone it seems.

A very useful CPU, but for gaming, the 12600k may be more cost-effective. But Im glad I got a special price.

This my second build on alder lake. I was so impressed with the i5 12400 I put together I gave it to a family member and decided to go with a i7 12700k. Its just amazing, blazing fast and well priced, I couldnt be happier.

Upgraded my gaming PC from an old i7-6700k and this thing is FAST! It does run pretty hot though, so make sure your cpu cooler is up to the task and you have good airflow in your case. Bonus feature: Doubles as a space heater in the cooler months!

Proformance is great and I over build because I try not to overclock. Should last me a long time.

I got 5.3Ghz across all 8 p cores 75° average running multiple loups of conebench r23 at 1.385 volts

Excellent
