Great CPU , best bang for your buck!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This CPU is great! , best bang for your buck in my opinion! Can't go wrong with the 12 cores and stays cool with my Corsair icue h150 Elite Capellix 360mm ill post some pics , and when playing fortnite , it stay at around 45c and idles at 30-35c! Its recommended to atleast have as many cores as the newest gaming Consoles out there and the PS5 has 8 Cores , so if you wanna future proof your system a bit , Id go with the i7 , but if you really wanna save some money , the i5 is perfect since it has 10 cores!

Q: QuestionDoes it come with a cpu cooler?
Asked by Joey.
- A:Answer No it doesnt. Als be careful you buy a cooler that works with LGA 1700 or you buy a motherboard that includes LGA 1200 cooler mounting support as well (which is what I chose to do)

Q: QuestionDoes the processor come with a graphics card installed?
Asked by Ej.
- A:Answer This chip does come with integrated graphics only the KF models do not have integrated graphics, it’s an alright idea to use onboard graphics until the gpu market settles.
Answered by Bruh
Q: QuestionDoes it have integrated graphics? In the overview it says "Processor Graphics / Intel UHD Graphics 770". But below that, it says "no integrated graphics" in 2 different places. I was under the impression that the K series DOES have integrated graphics.

- A:Answer Yes it has integrated graphics.

Q: QuestionMy current PC has an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz would this fit my pc?
Asked by Chase.
- A:Answer Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. No, both processors have a different socket; therefore, a motherboard that supports the Intel® Core™ i5-10400F (socket LGA1200) is incompatible with the Intel® Core™ i7-12700K processor (socket LGA1700). For detailed information about the Intel® Core™ i7-12700K processor and compatible products (boards), visit: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/134594/intel-core-i7-12700k-processor-25m-cache-up-to-5-00-ghz.html Thank you for choosing Intel!

Q: QuestionI have an ASrock B365m/OEM motherboard and i am currently running a i5-9400F CPU. Can I upgrade to a i7-12700K without compatibility issues?
Asked by jman21.
- A:Answer Intel® Core™ Desktop processors (12th gen) use the LGA1700 socket and require motherboards based on Intel® 700 Series Desktop Chipsets and Intel® 600 Series Desktop Chipsets. Intel® 600 Series and Intel® 700 Series require a BIOS update when upgrading from Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors 12th or 13th to a 14th gen.

Q: QuestionI'm slowly learning this computer stuff but my current PC has an Intel Core i5 9600k 6 Core 3.7 GHz so I'm assuming this would be a substantial upgrade, correct?
Asked by Phoenix4Hearts.
- A:Answer You will need a compatible motherboard for this cpu and sufficient cooler as it doesn't come with a cooler and make sure power supply compatible plus powerful enough and the most important part, make sure the pc case can fit all this without problems
