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

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.

I had been planning to hold off for Raptor Lake, but my Z370 mobo died, and I decided to go ahead and get an Alder Lake i7. So far its impressive. It runs much cooler than my i9-9900k (mild OC) ( 59C-63C under a gaming load vs 75C+) but that couldve been due to the my old AIO being in its death throws for the past few months. 3DMark CPU score went up noticeably as well. Overall, Im pretty happy with it. Havent messed around with overclocking yet, but there doesnt seem to be as much headroom left as there used to be, from what Ive read 5.3 Ghz is about what you can expect. The days of getting another 800Mhz - 1 Ghz+ over stock clocks out of a CPU are gone it seems.

Installed much easier than I thought it would, and it works like a charm. However, I thought i was a bit expensive..

Runs cool and runs all my games well. -1 star for the packaging only one side of it was padded

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.

Funciona a la perfección, los programas que eran pesados ejecutan de manera fluida lo mejor es que llegó en los tiempos indicados.

Muy bien

Excellent upgrade option.

I know there is faster but for the money someone please tell me which ones they are. Very impressed !

I got the MSI Z690 Edge Wifi motherboard to go along with this CPU. I am super happy with it. It runs cool with my AIO, and pairs well with my RTX 3080 12GB. What more could someone want?
