Powerhouse Cpu, won’t need to upgrade for quite some time. Stays cool with decent coolers, just make sure you properly apply thermal paste.

Perfect upgrade for my 17 10700k. Fast and good for gaming also it’s ready for Windows 11. Make sure you have the right motherboard.

Originally bought the 12900k to replace my 9900k, but decided to exchange for this instead. This i7-12700k offered practically the same performance for 1440p gaming as the 12900k, yet comes in $200 cheaper. It also consumes less power and generates less heat. The per-core performance on these new chips and the addition of the e-cores for background programs is superb. Windows 11 is a must for getting the most from this processor. Windows 10 will not utilize the cores correctly. Can use DDR4 or DDR5 RAM with this new generation of processors, depends on what motherboard you use. DDR5 is much harder to get right now and costs more, but seems to be the way to go if looking for the best performance or long-term compatibility.

This processor is great. Runs cooler than a 5000 series amd while gaming at least. Can get very hot with mce enabled on multitasking benchmarks. Plays those games that don't like AMD very well.

Upgraded from a gen 8, really loving the speed and performance, matched it with a MSI motherboard and am really happy overall. Kudos to my local Best Buy for having all the parts needed in store.

Awesome product, easy to overclock if you want. I left mine standard and I clock 5.1 on end and 3.6 low end while gaming. I play over 210 games and this cpu rock's them all.

Bought for new PC build. Easy to install after making sure motherboard pins are in order. Able to apply thermal paste for cooling easily. Nice for my gaming and work needs.

"Twelve" cores is a white-lie, there technically is, but eight of them are the ones you want for your every-day tasks. Effeciency cores shouldn't be disparaged, although I'm sure most people would prefer a full twelve cored. The K variant being over-clockable/boostable shines in gaming and in multi-core workloads. You get what you pay for.

Purchased this for my rig and it is a beast, paired with my 3090 it crushes any game at max settings that I throw at it. For the price to performance this is one of the best deals you can get.

This is a great value in the 12th gen lineup. the 12900k is faster but its also much hotter running and more expensive. Here you get the performance you want at a better value

It absolutely love this product.It performs very well and cooler.

Great processor, it chomps through anything I throw at it. Max threads score for 3DMark CPU profile test: 10,049. My old 6700k had a score of 3,272 for comparison.

Paired this up an ASUS Z690 and an RTX3070ti and my PC is disturbingly fast with fantastic FPS while gaming. Stays nice and cool thanks to my Corsair H150i capellix.

I am very pleased with this processor I have had any issues with it in the months I have had it and I will definitely keep using it

12th Gen Intel Desktop Processor is fast; makes 11th Gen Intel Desktop Processors not worth the trouble to purchase. No problems noted with 12th Gen Intel Desktop Processor.

Got this at a decent price since the 13th gen processors have come out so this is a beast of a processor for a great price

Amazing CPU, can do anything from video editing, to Photoshop with ease. Buy this CPU instead of going for a 13th or 14th gen because of the failure rates those two generations are having at the moment.

Incredible performance, and includes Modern Warfare II. It runs cooler than my 11700f. I got an increase of 40fps in Warzone. Im very happy

Great power for a custom pc that I built. Would buy this again due to the insane value it provides

Overral real good perfomance and very easy installation. Great price also.
