Intel Core i9-12900KF Desktop Processor 16 (8P+8E) Cores up to 5.2 GHz Unlocked  LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

Intel processor very pwerfull, recommend in 2023

It’s blazing fast. Buy the right motherboard with DDR 5 ram.

While I was away on a deployment I wanted to come back home to a little PC project, but wanted to build something more high-end (my previous build being an i7-9700K and 2080 Super). Luckily I heard about this i9 getting on the market and I was looking at the Ryzen 5900X, but I had a good experience with my previous Intel CPU (Nothing bad with the couple Ryzen builds I’ve had either).

Well worth the wait! This thing is fast. Love it, doesn’t get as hot as others are saying, I’ve got it paired with a 360 AIO so maybe that’s why.

You get what you pay for...... If you want the fastest chip on the market - this is the chip for you. But it is just as expensive. Also, get a big cooler as this thing gets hot under a load.

I got this over a 13th Gen since it is now fairly inexpensive and still plenty fast. I am using the Asus ROG Strix z690-E mobo so I should be able to upgrade to 13th Gen when those come down in price. This CPU needs a good cooler, I am using a ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. I am dual booting Linux and Win10 though I am running games mostly on Steam under Linux. Works surprisingly well.

i get the product and dont even have it for 4 months before i start having issues with my pc and it doesnt get to hot because i have a good cooler on it so think before you guys buy

Beast mode CPU. Bring the ice-water!

Happy at this time,all works ,Will let you all know when done tuning.

Im coming from a 3930k CPU that has performed its duty for many years in my custom build. So when I say this 12900kf zoom zoom zoooooomms, I mean it... Im running it with the NVIDIA RTX 3090 GPU and 64gb DDR5 4400 RAM. Well worth the money if you are into graphic design and video production using adobe software. I also do music production using Presonus Studio One 5.4 and up with Waves, izotope, and many other VTS and VSTi plugins. I cant say enough it simply makes my life easier and Im glad I got it!
