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

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.

I upgraded to this CPU after some HEAVY research, asking Reddit (Both Intel and AMD subreddits), weighing in money VS performance gained. I have used AMD since I was a teen and started building computers. The conclusion is this: It is an amazing CPU, runs faster and cooler than my Ryzen 7 1700. The price AND performance VS AMD (Also including a board) was better than if I had went with a Ryzen 7 5800X.

Im a first time builder, and Im working with this CPU, it overheat 3 times in bios when i first started out. Overheats on cinebench and some games that push it to about 40% CPU usage. There are work arounds but as a first time builder i would have preferred to not have to deal with that. Nevertheless, at least Ive experienced dealing with a chip that runs very hot.

I built a gaming desktop PC with this cpu and a Zotac 3080 trinity GPU. I get higher frame rates with this cpu than the zotac 3080 while playing the new call of duty mw2. I get max:200fps with this cpu and max:165 fps with the gpu, while doing the benchmark test, COD has in game. Keep in mind, I am not the most tech savvy, when it comes to computers and over clocking.

My last PC CPU was an intel 9700k and while gaming-wise the performance doesnt seem much higher. I obviously get a few more FPS, but it has not been so noticeable. I wouldnt be able to tell the difference on a blind test. However, this CPU is just amazing for every other task and overall I am happy with it.

Ne chauffe pas beaucoup, ne dépasse pas 60°c sous OCCT à pleine Charge, très stable sur une MSI Z690,

This cpu is the best gaming cpu I have ever owned . It runs stable and smooth in windows 11 and for gaming.

新品のマザーボードにとりつけて起動したら、マザーボードのLEDのCPUのところに赤ランプが？

Came on time, works great, hasn’t failed so thats good. Serves my purposes.

Un procesador rápido y eficiente, en conjunto con una buena tarjeta grafica, es una maravilla
