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

Lost the silicon lottery. My CPU doesnt clock as high as advertised out of the box. Requires very extreme over lock settings to achieve 5 ghz.

Este procesador tiene unas capacidades brutales en gaming y multinucleo, es muy estable... pero en overclock puede llegar has los 312Watts preparate una fuente que soporte.

This is the most anyone should need for a while as of 2022 (at least for gaming).

the cpu seem fine ( no noticeable damage ) but for me that unboxing look very sketchy and low quality for a 600$CAD product

This cpu is the best gaming cpu I have ever owned . It runs stable and smooth in windows 11 and for gaming.

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.

This CPU is fast! Its great. Just be careful when youre inserting it into the motherboard and you should be good to go. It runs at a decent temperature in my Fractal case with Arctic 280 AIO. No bottlenecking in my games paired with DDR5 and a 3080 12GB GPU.

Upgraded from an i5-7500 and a B8 gigabyte mobo. I was torn between a 13 gen i5 and this, and Im happy I chose this! First off, the box came damaged. The cpu was fine though. I paired this with a MSI z690 Tomahawk and a Thermalright peerless 120 se. The cooler keeps this guy at around 80*F, while gaming. As for the CPU, its a beast. I havent even tapped into what it can handle. I bought this when it went on sale for $264. Just for kicks, I had like 25 chrome tabs, afterburner, discord, a few random programs and Hogwarts Legacy all open and the CPU didnt get past 100*F nor did the CPU load go beyond 40%. The multitasking is wild. The thread count is crazy. Bottom line. This CPU is an awesome purchase and you wont be disappointed.

je quitte un i7 6700k (6eme gén) qui avait fait son taf pour le nouveau i7 12700k et la cest le jour et la nuit.

Ive had this overclocked at 5.0 GHz for a couple weeks now and it hasnt skipped a beat. I bought an MSI Z690 MPG Edge Motherboard to pair with this beast of a chip. Keep in mind, it does NOT come with a cooler so make sure you have a reputable thermal paste and a solid cooler to pair with this. I have a pre-filled watercooler (Corsair Hydro Series H115i Pro) which is giving me temps idle as low as 19°C (not joking, look at the picture). Under full load, I have yet to hit over 50°C even gaming at 1440p (2k resolution). If Im being quite honest, this CPU is overkill for gaming. If you have the extra money, go for it. If not, a i5-12600k will be just as powerful for less money.
