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

This was a huge upgrade to my system for good price. Im back into the modern pc world. Win 11 runs great

Fast AF Boi!!

I like the 8 performance cores and the 8 efficiency cores. The efficiency cores are multi-threaded and the performance cores are not, thereby providing the best performance possible. I paired this processor with a Gigabyte Aorus Z690 motherboard and an Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card and 32 GB of 6200 Mhz DDR5 memory. Works GREAT!

The processor is amazing. Upgraded from an Intel 8700k. Paired it with 6400 mhz DDR5 memory on a AsRock z690 Taichi motherboard and my Nvidia EVGA 3080Ti and Im consistently in the top 5% of benchmarks world-wide with barely any tweeks except selecting the XMP profile in my bios. Blows away anything currently AMD is offering in the same price range.

VROOOOM

Theres nothing more to say, if you only want gaming get an i7, unless youre into emulation thats the only instance where youll get an actual edge

Awesome Cpu blazzzing fast !!!!!! for gaming and other tasks . i see that the temps for this cpu work up into the 70s and even higher 80 + my recommendation is to undervote your cpu if your just gaming that will lower temps. With good thermal paste Kingpin cooling KPX and a water cooler im getting 55-58c in gaming hope it helps.

I absolutely love the gold packaging this came in. The product works as intended and its worth every penny considering how much cheaper it is than the MSRP.

Meets all my needs for high-end photo editing use. PS and LR run with ease.

better pack a juicy 360 aio or the beefiest cooler you can find because this thang gets hot
