    Best cpu on the market, doesn't get hot. Running it with a asus z790 formula mobo. I always go intel with my builds, this is the ram for you if you want to maxmize the graphics in your build.

    Intel's Core i9-12900K Desktop Processor is a beast! With 16 cores, up to 5.2 GHz, and unlocked for overclocking, it's good for any build.

    Dont listen to the AMD fanboys, this thing is fast and efficient. It only gets hot and power hungry if your overclocking and performing benchmark test such as Cinebench etc, otherwise this thing runs cool and efficient. Im using an Evga 360mm AIO cooler.

    Finally after waiting a year and a half I finally pulled trigger and decided to upgrade. I’m coming from a 4790k and wow amazing difference runs cool quiet and loads everything you can throw at it. Probably a little overkill for Gaming but build it once and you won’t be disappointed

    I had an i7 2600k, i7 8700k, and i9 9900k. I was pleasantly surprised by how much more powerful this new cpu is in comparison. Worth the purchase. I personally had to go ddr4 due to ddr5 shortages. However, im currently running 128gb 3600mhz ram. I think it’s a great compromise.

    It blows every game out of the water. Most importantly, it keeps good frames in Dragons Dogma 2, which is very cpu intensive.

    Very happy with my decision to go with this cpu over the 12700K. My new pc is running buttery smooth especially because it’s paired with the RTX 3070ti. Productivity has been a dream and games are running flawlessly in 1440p. If you’re considering it, just go for it.
