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

thank you

Chose this processor over an i9 and it is Simply one of the best processor I have ever owned.. this cpu is a beast and super easy to overclock. I would recommend this one to anyone who wants power on a budget!

Performs like a beast! Running 5.4 Ghz stable, liquid cooled with no thermal throttling.

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.

i7 is so much more affordable than i9 and probably not that big of a performance difference

Muy bueno

You wont find any DDR5 you have to spend on DDR4. No upgrade path if you want future CPU. Beware of the TDP it might be too much for a basic cooler.

This is a great CPU for the money. Sure you can spend more, but its easy to overclock and runs great. The built-in GPU is... meh. Good for work, not games. But its cool that its built in, because if you ever have a problem with your GPU this is a backup. LOVE IT!

So far, this is working great. Just be aware that it does not come with a cpu cooler. Also, not all software supports its GPU or can make good use of all of the performance/efficiency cores. That is not a complaint about the chip. Just make sure that your software/use/need can utilize all that this chip can offer.
