Intel Core i9-12900KF Desktop Processor 16 (8P+8E) Cores up to 5.2 GHz Unlocked  LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

So Intel will not back this product up, so dont waste any money on them, they will ask you if you enabled XMP, and if you have a DDR5 system you will and then state that your warranty is void. Worst 600.00 I ever spent

i was a devoted AMD fan, until the X570 Ace started bothering me with the dreaded USB issue, after trying serval fixes, including Bios updates that came promising to fix the issue, also am a system builder since 2005, and as my part time business I build high end systems, and seeing how many stability issues AMD has from time to time I wanted to just give Intel a chance, and am glad i did, this is now in my main system, along with my trusty FTW3 3080, had to upgrade my motherboard and went with a Z690 Aero D, DDR5, am really happy with it, saw a noticeable improvement over the AMD with DDR5, at 1080p 1440p and 4k, but mainly I saw a great improvement in VR, i have to bring up that this isnt an advisable upgrade if you are running anything new gen, like AMD 5k or Intel 10th or 11th, as the differences will be negligible, but if you are in the market for the best right now, nothing that AMD offers at the moment competes as far as single core, or multi core for the most part, and ironically this time intel offers better value, good times indeed.

I built a new computer for photography work and it is amazingly snappy and quick. This chip on an Asus Strix Z690-e motherboard, Asus TUF 3090TI, 64GB DDR5 6400 memory, Samsung 980 pro, NZXT Kraken Z73 all work famously together to keep the system fast and cool.

I installed a large air cooler with 3 fans in large desktop with 5 fans and good airflow. but it is not enough for the recently released i912900KF. it still overheats and reaches 90c-96c degrees within 7-10 minutes of rendering when its 90% workload.

Lo mejor que ha lanzado Intel hasta ahora

Works great. Cut my CPU load almost in half from my old i7 system. Stays cool (using EKWB waterblock) and never goes over 50°C even with stress testing and hard gaming. Price is high compared to AMD’s offerings, so that’s kind of a negative, but overall this is a rock solid CPU.

If you need the speed Id recommend this CPU. Coupled with windows 11 you will have a power house gaming/media production system. Be sure to get a quality cooling system. At full tilt this CPU will be creating over 260 watts of heat.

While I was away on a deployment I wanted to come back home to a little PC project, but wanted to build something more high-end (my previous build being an i7-9700K and 2080 Super). Luckily I heard about this i9 getting on the market and I was looking at the Ryzen 5900X, but I had a good experience with my previous Intel CPU (Nothing bad with the couple Ryzen builds I’ve had either).

I dont play anything too intensive. Maybe Elden Rings? I am more of a FPS/CSGO player and this CPU goes up by maybe two degrees when I play those games. With a Noctua DH-15 this thing is ice cold.

excellent article, good communication with the seller.
