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

I put together a gaming PC collecting parts over time as I had funds to purchase. Finally put it all together and it ran well for about 2 weeks and then I began having blue-screen crashes. Now it wont even complete a windows install on a clean drive without crashing. Tried two mother boards, 6 memory sticks, 3 NVMe drives, and two power supplies before being forced to realize the processor is causing my issue. I am now out of the quick return path grace period and must try to RMA through Amazon. If you buy one of these chips, or any part for that matter, use it right away in case it is a bad part.

the CPU works great and is super fast. i didnt really want to pay for the latest and greatest, mainly because i have found that a 10% increase can add 50% to the price of the CPU. one thing to watch out for, there is no cooling fan in this package, so you have to buy one. you can get the CPU with a fan, but its a different part number. personally, even though it cost more to buy the fan separately, i believe the Noctua cooler i got will work much better than anything Intel provides.

I undervolted the CPU -0.12 offset which lowered core package from 73c to 62c at 141W in Cinebench R23 for 22957 score (which is average for a 12700k). Watched videos from JayzTwoCents and The Tech Thing Guy on undervolting. One thing that you WILL run into if you plan on liquid cooling with any of the big brand AIOs is that they all say LGA 1700 compatible but none of them actually ship with the LGA 1700 bracket for some reason, you have to turn around and contact the company and theyll send you a free bracket in 2-6 weeks. Thats why I ended up getting the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 (which turned out to be amazingly great, check the review on Gamers Nexus), because you can buy the free LGA 1700 bracket for $7 here on Amazon and skip all the hassle/delay of getting one sent for free afterwards.

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.

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

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.

Al momento de comprarlo tenía duda sobre si me llegaría muy maltratado, ya que es importado de Amazon USA, pero venía en excelente estado, cumplieron con el tiempo de entrega y no tuve absolutamente ningún problema en el envío ni en la entrega, además de que está a un precio más bajo que el resto. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, sobre todo para las personas como yo que están armando su primer PC Gamer y de trabajo y buscan pieza por pieza.

Built my own computer and this was key to making it work. Great value. Happy with my purchase.

Intel always a good value. This CPU didnt disappoint.

Un muy buen producto. Lo ocupo para desarrollo de software y la verdad es muy rapida la computadora, aun cuando ocupo docker.
