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

Just avoid this cpu all together unless youre a fanboy or stuck on anything older than 4th gen. Both i5 and i7 here on a rtx 3080. Gaming is pointless on this cpu and its just a fact. In 1440p and 4k u gain absolutely nothing over my old 10700k. Except for horrible Temps. This will average Temps at least 10c higher then previous Intel or my ryzen 5900x. And worst part is Intels unnecessary change in cpu cooler layout. U will spend weeks finding a cooler or trying to get manufacturer to send u a bracket to update existing cooler. Literally had to return my first one I purchased from best buy because I couldnt even find a cooler within the 15 day return policy and didnt want stuck with a DOA product. And the fact AMD is already releasing ryzen 3d which surpasses this by 20% it makes this jump to Intel again pointless. Because we all know Intel will change socket and layout again leaving us stranded again with no cooling options. Worse part. Not even a cooler in box to test cpu with. Had to buy a hideous noctua as it was only thing I could get my hands on that fit

Upgraded from 6700 6th gen i7 and love the upgrade!

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!

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!

This my second build on alder lake. I was so impressed with the i5 12400 I put together I gave it to a family member and decided to go with a i7 12700k. Its just amazing, blazing fast and well priced, I couldnt be happier.

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？

this is really a next gen! low temps,stable,really fast and big overclocking opportunity!

Ridiculously easy to overclock and runs stable. AMD processors in the past, Ive had to fumble with the settings for a long time till I got it right. With this CPU, everything just worked and no additional configuration required. I paired this with the Asus TUF Gaming Z-690 Plus Wifi D4 motherboard and they pair nicely. I picked this board cause of the DDR4 support and it runs perfectly. Only complaint I have is that it uses a lot of power.

Excellent upgrade option.

Intel obviously isnt a slouch when it comes to processors. However, this one really hits the sweet spot between performance and price. Well see what happens when AMD releases the Ryzen 7000 series later this year, but if you dont want to wait, generally prefer Intel, and dont want to spring for an i9, this processor will absolutely take what you can throw at it.
