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

The integrated graphics are still short of AMDs but with a gpu it should fare well. I was able to play esports title at 1080p but would not recommend. I paired it with a 3060 ti and a Noctua NH-D15 chromax black dual tower cooler and have had not issues with it. Staying cool and stable at 5.1Ghz on all cores and 3.9 on e-cores during overclocking. I did run it at 5.2 for a while but had a few crashes. I am very pleased with the performance.

Overall, I believe at the time of this review that the 12700K chip is the best value for the power you can get. My typical price point is about $350-400 and with 12 cores, it is an awesome upgrade from my 3rd Gen Ivy bridge processor. It was simple to install and worked perfectly with no issues.

This CPU replaced a defective i5 I bought and I couldn’t be happier. It runs fast and pretty cool for my work load and moderate gaming. The price was a steal. If you plan on serious gaming make sure you have decent cooling.

GREAT CPU, GREAT PRICE, FAST SHIPPING!!!!

like the speed in tandem w m.2 drive

So far, this is working great. Just be aware that it does not come with a cpu cooler. Also, not all software supports its GPU or can make good use of all of the performance/efficiency cores. That is not a complaint about the chip. Just make sure that your software/use/need can utilize all that this chip can offer.

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

Came in perfect condition, snapped right into place, and worked on first boot. Havent had the need to push it to its limit so far, but even with a whole bunch of stuff running, it gives me absolutely no trouble, so Im sure itll be fine for a long while.

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

Ich verstehe halt nicht warum ich einen kaputten CPU geschickt bekomme das ist halt einfach nur unnötig und zeitaufwendig
