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

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.

This thing is a beast, I have not countered any issues whatsoever. Awesome upgrade!

Excellent upgrade option.

Hovers around 30° even while playing games on high graphics all night even with my cheap cooling fan, no problem keeping up with many programs open I don’t think I’ve seen it past 12% use in task manager so far

Ridiculously easy to overclock and runs stable. AMD processors in the past, Ive had to fumble with the settings for a long time till I got it right. With this CPU, everything just worked and no additional configuration required. I paired this with the Asus TUF Gaming Z-690 Plus Wifi D4 motherboard and they pair nicely. I picked this board cause of the DDR4 support and it runs perfectly. Only complaint I have is that it uses a lot of power.

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

Pas de problème au montage : jai monté un ventirad noctua NHU12A : quand le proc travaille à 100%, il reste sous les 80°C. En fonctionnement normal, lensemble est silencieux. Attention si la CM marche à la DDR5 : cest 2 fois le prix de la DDR5.

Runs faster than a first gen threadripper and it has integrated graphics which helped with troubleshooting on my build. Overall quality gaming experience on 1440p with dedicated graphics. And might handle minecraft without one and no mods at 1080p.

Idles in the 20s. Does require a beefy cooler, Im using a Noctua D15S. I did have a U14S on it idling in the low 30s, but the fan was revved up by default to a level I didnt enjoy. Make sure you need this much power. If youre just gaming get a 12400 instead. This processor trades blows with the amd 5900x. Performance and stability are excellent. I have five nvme m.2 drives on it right now (four on motherboard and another in a card). Everything is lightning fast. Be aware the drivers will NOT work with the older versions of Win10, and you will need to make a newer version of Win10 from microsofts own site. Aside from that minor inconvenience, everything works well.

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.
