Very powerful and fast. Been great for gaming and video editing

The value of this processor is insane for gaming and other relatively straining multicore workloads. Incredible.

Awesome CPU, value for the money and almost as fast as an i9 13900k

Good performance, runs very hot though, even with an NHD15 cooler

A solid performer that I installed a year and a half ago and works flawlessly. With everything else that I have overkilled on my build, this intel i7 has no trouble getting up with day after day.

Best one I ever used. It’s a beast in gaming and it don’t get that hot.

I have never had such a amazing cpu! this monster is better than the 12gen i9!!!! and yes it does run warm, but with a good cooler this guy will always try to run as fast as it can while never having cpu interuptions or slow downs even under 100% it is incridably snappy and unless your benchmarking its sooo hard to fully use it!

Very fast and runs relatively cool for the performance. Definitely a must buy cpu for pc enthusiasts

Great chip, paired with my 4080, it makes for an incredible gaming experience. Now that they’ve fixed the throttling issue I haven’t seen my cpu go near 75c.

Had to go with the 7 because of the 9s heat issues but this thing ia insane

Best CPU out there right now! Huge upgrade to my previous cpu.

Insanely powerful processor, Very good for the price.

It runs a little hot but over all its a total beast of a processor.

This cpu has been fantastic. Even with some of this gen having the issues, I have seen no problems. Pc is running lightning fast.

Wow, OK. I did not expect to have an I9 12900K in an I7 It does get really hot though.

This CPU constantly outperforms by a large margin, all other processors that I’ve used in the past. I have it running on a light overclock, but this is not needed as it has handled everything, I’ve thrown at it thus far. Highly recommended for use in gaming, video editing, and anything else you could throw at it.

This processor absolutely rocks. Coming from an i9-9900k to this was a pretty great jump in performance for me. Getting a great boost in FPS across the board when gaming in 4K and other tasks such as rendering video and editing audio are much faster. With the change to P-cores and E-cores I would definitely recommend this processor for anyone coming from 11th gen or previous.

It’s Intel, lets be honest, when will anyone ever be disappointed with their purchase of an intel chip. The chip works great and put out some great numbers on a benchmark. Great alternative to the I9’s if youre looking to get a great chip at an affordable price.

just what I needed, and a great mix of value and power. Works like a gem.

Upgraded from my 12600K to this CPU. There is a very noticeable difference when it comes to more CPU demanding games. Paired an RTX 4080, there are virtually no bottlenecks. Also, productivity benchmarks are among the highest I have seen on any of my machines. This i7 is even faster than the previous generation i9 12900k for a lot less.
