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

If you are using this hard, get a large cooler, it has many cores and they can generate heat. That done, it is great.

Good

Read the reviews. The 12th Gen i7 puts even the 12th Gen i9 to a test. It is fast and startups only take seconds. Stable as a rock.

Hice instalación en una board Asus Prime P Wifi (no alcanzo para mas $$), fue un proceso sencillo, todo viene marcado y le coloque enfriamiento por aire, Noctua, Excelente!!!! forzando el sistema no pasa de los 60 °C.

If youre thinking about it and you have a 7700k or earlier, just do it; its time..... Almost 50-100% increase in fps in all games and can play some games I couldnt before.... Get an LGA1700 360mm radiator for super cool temps... And get a DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 board for Gods sake lol dont get DDR4 like a clown

I upgraded to this CPU after some HEAVY research, asking Reddit (Both Intel and AMD subreddits), weighing in money VS performance gained. I have used AMD since I was a teen and started building computers. The conclusion is this: It is an amazing CPU, runs faster and cooler than my Ryzen 7 1700. The price AND performance VS AMD (Also including a board) was better than if I had went with a Ryzen 7 5800X.

Came on time, works great, hasn’t failed so thats good. Serves my purposes.

This CPU has a lot going for it, wether your getting into 12th Gen for its impressive gaming performance or not overwhelmingly expensive prices, this cpu will definitely put the power you need into the system your building & with the right cooler you will never have to worry about this chip getting beyond 40-50c under load with its factory tune. By far one of best decisions i made when i build my friends first pc this year.

Paired with a Noctua D15 and the Elite AX Z690, this thing is insane. Massive step up from my i7 6700k.

I think all of the modern chips are overpriced since the great shortage but I wanted a new pc and chose what would be best for my application. Runs great (if a little hotter than I was anticipating) and I havent had any problems yet.
