Intel CPU Core i7-12700F / 12/20 / 2.1GHz / 6xxChipset / BX8071512700F

Paired with a z690 motherboard and Scythe Mugen 5 cooler, the performance is on par with a 12700K (see the picture).On a z690 or b660 motherboard with good VRMs, 12700F can run at high power rating (PL2) continuously. And, a better cooler than the one included, Scythe Mugen 5 for me, keeps the CPU cool to avoid thermal throttling (never exceeds 70C under any load). When paired with a good cooler and motherboard, the performance practically matches 12700K. The latest CPUs are no fun to overclock anymore as they draw too much power and cooling becomes too expensive and noisy for the little performance gain. So, I went with this CPU and completely satisfied.

i9 12900も検討しましたが、空冷ファンで安定した運用をしたかった為こちらを選びました。結論としては i7-12700Fで十分で、むしろベンチで高負荷掛ける状況でなければ有り余る性能だと思います。最近の部品不足や円安で若干値上がりはしていましたが、それでも消費電力も抑えられていて長く使える良いCPUだと思います。

Buy it its awesome for the price

I bought the i7 and it didn’t work returned it on the 16 of august and I still haven’t got my money back

This chip runs cooler then my i7-9700k and uses less of the cores. Actually super happy with this upgrade. The new retention was alittle weird but overall great value. Fyi make sure you get the right cooler in my case i had the corsair h150i elite capellix so i had to order the new retention kit from corsairs website. You can use the old backplate it comes with just the screws are shorter. The cpu is thiner.

I mean its a 12th gen Core i7, It is extremly fast and does everything you throw at it!

While this is a great CPU with all the bells and whistles, but for gaming there is not real reason to go with this rather than i5 12600K(F). This may shine in productivity tasks where core count matters more, but overall its a decent CPU.
