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

Perfect quality. Everything was as advertised.

I got 5.3Ghz across all 8 p cores 75° average running multiple loups of conebench r23 at 1.385 volts

Upgraded from an i5-7500 and a B8 gigabyte mobo. I was torn between a 13 gen i5 and this, and Im happy I chose this! First off, the box came damaged. The cpu was fine though. I paired this with a MSI z690 Tomahawk and a Thermalright peerless 120 se. The cooler keeps this guy at around 80*F, while gaming. As for the CPU, its a beast. I havent even tapped into what it can handle. I bought this when it went on sale for $264. Just for kicks, I had like 25 chrome tabs, afterburner, discord, a few random programs and Hogwarts Legacy all open and the CPU didnt get past 100*F nor did the CPU load go beyond 40%. The multitasking is wild. The thread count is crazy. Bottom line. This CPU is an awesome purchase and you wont be disappointed.

The 12th gen i7 12700k is one of the best gaming CPUs on the market when you even out all the factors including budget, speed, performance, overclocking, etc. I have a 3 fan AIO to cool this beast, I recomend you do the same to ensure a long lasting chip.

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.

Exactly as described

Pas de problème au montage : jai monté un ventirad noctua NHU12A : quand le proc travaille à 100%, il reste sous les 80°C. En fonctionnement normal, lensemble est silencieux. Attention si la CM marche à la DDR5 : cest 2 fois le prix de la DDR5.

Gets the job done takes lots of stress..

the cpu seem fine ( no noticeable damage ) but for me that unboxing look very sketchy and low quality for a 600$CAD product

Insane cpu normally pushing 5100MHz has even gone up to 5500MHz.
