• The i7-12700F works just fine. This CPU is what my system build is based on.

• Just my opinion..... I purchased a 13600K as it seems to be the best bang for your buck right now. It is 29 bucks more than the 12700F. If you go to google and type in '12700F vs 13600K' you will see the overall improvements of the newer processor. The only place it is worse is slightly more power consumption. Also, keep in mind that you are putting a 13th gen processor into a 12th gen motherboard. This works fine, but you will have to update the bios (most likely) to accept the new processor. MSI has instructions for such a bios update. This is a great motherboard and the 13600K is a great processor.
