    I bought 12700K to exchange my old 12400F on Z690 chipset. I got some FPS increase (5-10%) with 6700XT and I'm going to upgrade GPU also in near future.

    It is an amazing CPU for the $260 price tag. It was the CPU that got my computer back up and running and after a month of almost non-stop work it’s still as fast as when I first bought it

    Intel's 12th gen i7 is a huge improvement over the previous 11th gen i7. It offers more cores for literally the same MSRP plus the support for new connectivity like PCIe 5.0 and DDR5. I can't wait to complete my build with an RTX 3080.

    Great CPU. Single threaded, multi-threaded, this does it all. Definitely the sweet spot for Alder Lake in terms of well-rounded performance. If you're only gaming, definitely check out the 12600K, but if you have any production workloads that can benefit from extra threads, this is incredibly close to the 12900k for far less money.

    I had a 7700k and althought it was still a good performing cpu, I could tell it was aging a little. With Windows 11 (I know, not everyone's cup of tea) requiring more modern cpu's I decided to upgrade. The performance boost was extremely noticeable and I actually enjoy running Windows 11.

    Purchased as part of a new build to replace a four year old intel i5 based PC. Paired with an Asus Prime D4. Gets the job done in a quarter of the time! Haven’t tried any overclocking modes yet, still setting up the system. Running with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 cpu cooler, seems to stay cool.

    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.

    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.
