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

benchmarking it are easy. doh only rtx 3070 8gb version.

Intel has knocked it in the bleachers with this one. Super fast. No OC necessary. Using it with Win11 and a 3080 gpu. Incredible. Not regretting it at all. Glad I decided to go with Intel on this build

This unit is powerful for all of your needs. Just remember this thing runs really hot!!! Make sure you use a good cooling system. Otherwise, you will have thermal throttling issues.

Went right into my ASUS Prime Z690-P D4 motherboard no problem. Used an aluminum thermalright block to hold it in place instead of the motherboard bracket. Worked well with a Thermaltake TH240 cooler. No problems at all. Started right up first time, and installed Windows 11 to a SSD and not had a problem since. Much faster than my older 4th gen Intel 4790K.

Purchased this CPU to finally upgrade my tired 8086k that I have had for close to 4 years now, and considering I also own a 3090 I was lucky enough to get last year, it was time. Paired with said gpu and a MSI Tomahawk Z690 with a Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black cooler, this cpu runs complete marathons around my old 8086k. Certain games that would fully saturate my 8086k while also getting notifications from something like Discord would introduce very bad stutter, however those are completely eliminated with the 12900k. Temps are high when Im doing full resolution photo renders from my DJI Air 2S or Sony a6400 or straight up benchmarking, but that is expected and Im not one to sweat about 80-90c temps, but if you are I would recommend the 12700k/5900x as they both run cooler and draw less wattage. However in gaming with multiple different Firefox tabs and discord/telegram open, it never even touches 70c, so your experience may vary depending on what type of work load you are doing. Make sure that if you do have a high powered gpu that you also have a high output power supply with a high efficiency rating as well, as my system can suck north of 600-750w full tilt (my power supply being a 1200w platinum EVGA that doesnt break a sweat under full load).

Llevaba 10 años trabajando con Xeon, y tengo que aclarar que han sido procesadores excelentes y duraderos, pero necesitaba actualizarme a un procesador que fuera más rápido y he tomado la desición correcta con este i9. Trabajo en diseño en general, edición de vídeo, animación y 3D, donde existe un beneficio gracias a su potencia, todo se mueve como mantequilla.

El procesador es excelente y su rendimiento no deja que desear. Si duda una de los mejores procesadores actualmente. Sin embargo, a máxima carga es díficil de refrigerar y posee en consumo muy alto de energía, pero en el resto de aplicaciones el consumo suele ser muy bajo y mantiene buenas temperaturas

This thing is an absolute beast of an CPU over colock is not recommended, with the power draw

Works great in my new system. I wouldnt say easy to install, but none are, I always sweat bullets when I latch down the CPU holder. But other than that stable and powerful. Heres my build, rock stable and fast as hell!

Increased my 3D Mark Time Spy cpu score by 70%.
