    Very happy with this CPU. Ran a couple benchmark tests and saw that the performance was pretty consistent with other’s builds.

    I purchased this processor to build a new PC for my wife. I currently have a i9-10900k on my own setup and have an issue with it running too hot (with custom cooling). This i7 is almost on par with my i9 with no overheating issue with just a standard AIO.

    Big Improvement from 9900K

    Fast! Paired with the MSI Z-690, this processor really is incredible. Had an issue with Corsair 3600 MHZ RAM, so I had to use a pair of 3400 sticks. Once my system posted, all bets were off! Judge improvement from my 9900K. Runs MSFS with a lot of power. Great buy!

    A Powerful Processor

    A very powerful CPU for the money, especially if you can get one on sale. I haven't built a new system in ten years, so the difference will be massive once I get everything together... which brings me to DDR5 and that fact that I still cannot find any. Also, Z690 motherboards are expensive.

    Best CPU I’ve owned to date. Sure, the 12900k was better but the price on the 12700k is difficult to beat. Should get a long time out of this one, reminiscent of the old 2500k - long term value for those who keep a CPU for a long time.

    i7 > i9

    If your looking for the perfect CPU for intense gaming and dabbling in multi-threaded apps every now and then, then this is the CPU for you. Way less than the i9, close to the same performance. Overclocks easy but gets a little toasty.

    One of the best cpu you can buy at the time with lots of performance. Paired this bad boy up with a 3080 and have no performance issues whatsover. These cpus are power hungry tho and suggest undervolting because they sure do get hot.

    Great value compared to 12900k!

    great CPU - much better value than 12900K! If all you do is gaming I would probably suggest 12600k or maybe even 12400, but I do both productivity and gaming and wanted something that had all 8 P-cores without paying the full price of a 12900K.

    I mean its an intel i7, you know what you’re getting into, obviously comparable to an R7, just make sure you know what type of motherboard you have and what you may need more of in terms of cpu

    My first time building a PC and this CPU runs all my games programs really well. The performance cores handles the games really well while the efficiency cores handles the background tasks.
