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

Bought for Xmas present gaming PC Build. Will update if something goes sideways.

With an sp rating of 64 I thought I’d lost the silicon lottery but I’m still able to push 5.4 3 cores snd 5.1 all cores on a 360aio in the low 80s under high load for long runs. So even a “meh” is a beast in disquise.

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.

Replaced my 8700k with the 12700k. happy happy joy joy! No complaints.

Super performance, I like it VERY MUCH)!!!

Excelente

Estuve mirando mucha información antes comprarlo y hasta el momento ha funcionado muy bien, lo mejor es que la versión KF prácticamente no tiene diferencia en rendimiento VS la versión K, y es casi 100 dolares más barata

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

Processor runs reasonably cool, typically 20c less than my GPU on the same water-cooled loop. I installed Windows 11, and it shows 20 cores. Benchmarking with RDR2 shows a laughable difference from an I7-6700K, which is a 7 year old processor; it was 2-3fps on average. Its all about the GPU folks, the CPU after 7 years makes just about 1% difference.

Works well for my purposes light gaming and CAD
