Intel Core i7-12700KF Desktop Processor 12 (8P+4E) Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked  LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

Works well for my purposes light gaming and CAD

Just make sure you find the appropriate cooler that comes with the hardware you need, the noctua nh-d15 does come with it for sure. It’s been fantastic for me and I do not regret my purchase

Only two cons is its not at msrp and this CPU takes a bit more power than the 5900x

Compared to the 12900k this thing is an icebox! Very acceptable gaming performance as well as traditional multithreaded workloads. Pleased with this professor generation’s i7.

Easy to install with no issues. Well packaged and arrived on time.

excellent

Intel badge sticker stuck to the manual, obviously opened and messed with.

Im not here to talk benchmark numbers or min/maxing or whatever. I paired this CPU with a Noctua air cooler and an EVGA RTX 3080 FTW, and I cannot be happier with the results. Temps below 65 degrees under load and zero issue while gaming at 1440p.

The shipping was fast and came in not damaged

Totally recommend it. Cinebench R23 multicore 26k score. Temps with noctua nh-15 max 85 during test
