  • The best CPU I've owned so far. Rivaling even the 5900X! Intel is killing the game as of now.
Style: i7-12700K
I upgraded to this CPU after some HEAVY research, asking Reddit (Both Intel and AMD subreddits), weighing in money VS performance gained. I have used AMD since I was a teen and started building computers. The conclusion is this: It is an amazing CPU, runs faster and cooler than my Ryzen 7 1700. The price AND performance VS AMD (Also including a board) was better than if I had went with a Ryzen 7 5800X. Some background information: I wanted to upgrade after receiving an Amazon gift card (I have never ordered computer parts from Amazon though). I upgraded from a Ryzen 7 1700, with an ASUS x370-f board. I really wanted to upgrade, and was sad also that Windows 11 did not support my CPU! I will give it to Microsoft for this, as it made A LOT of people upgrade their entire computers, all for basically the same OS as of now with newer looks, and not much done under the hood (EXCEPT for 12th gen Intel, so good news there too). Sadly, my old board STILL doesn't support the Ryzen 7 5000 series, and only the 3000 series (They are working on a BIOS apparently for the 5000 series, because of people who were in my shoes). I first almost ordered the Ryzen 7 3800XT, for $400! After a couple hours of research, asking, and thinking about it... I cancelled that order (Thankfully) and thought "Well, if I am going to spend this much on upgrading my CPU, I might as well go all in/spend a little more for something better, as this may be my last big upgrade in this regard for awhile." I was then going to get the Ryzen 7 5800X with an Asus board. There lied a problem of price, I could not find a board AND get that CPU still within my budget (At-least not a board that wasn't worse than the one I had in ways). I mentioned I had posted on the AMD subreddit, and even they suggested I go Intel (Intel is just killing it as of now, hands down, although I am sure AMD will retaliate). I ended up getting the MSI Z690-A DDR4 (I wish I had the money for DDR5 RAM, I would have went with the DDR5 version as it was basically the same price). I had A LOT of second thoughts on this board though, as it just didn't seem "Premium" as the one I had (I am going to do a whole review on it after this. I'll save my Pros & Cons for there.) This CPU also auto-clocks itself up or down depending on the load (Saw it clock down to 1GHz, although not for long, for example if not much processing power is warranted, which makes sense and I wish everything did). So if idling, it will clock down and save power/heat/and therefore longevity is increased. I absolutely love this CPU coming from AMD. Anyways... If you have a Corsair H100I RGB Platinum or similar cooler already: The included 1200 screws work just fine with the 1700 socket and this CPU, even though you are supposed to get the 1700 kit/screws for this CPU (Which I did, but they are taking FOREVER to ship, so I googled, and someone said using the 1200 screws will work just fine). I get better temps. than my Ryzen 7 1700. I can even overclock EVEN MORE but have no need, and no point. TL:DR Upgraded from: Ryzen 7 1700, Asus Rog Strix x370-f gaming. Upgraded to: i7-12700K, MSI Z690-A DDR4. Parts kept: 4x8GB 32GB DDR4 CL16 3000MHz RAM (With XMP, D.O.C.P), RTX 2070. The RAM works great with this CPU as well, although it TECHNICALLY (Latency wise, runs at 2T on Intel instead of 1T on AMD) runs slower than when on AMD (AMD's infinity fabric) but obviously whatever Intel is doing makes up for that, and therefore my RAM either runs faster/the same) Pros: It is an amazing CPU for price VS performance. The i5-12600K is good as well (I almost just went with it), and you would be fine going with it for gaming (As even it still has more cores technically than the Ryzen 7 5800X, it also beats the 5800X even though THIS CPU is supposed to be its comparison rival brother.) This CPU has cool temps on my Corsair H100I RGB Platinum cooler, and the P&E core structure are REALLY cool and fun to watch when doing tasks/gaming. It shipped fast! Cons: Literally none with the CPU itself. Just with shipping - It shipped really fast! Was here in 2-3 days after purchasing on here. The biggest complaint I have is Amazon's shipping (SO BE AWARE OF THIS) I have never ordered computer parts from Amazon, and have always used New-egg. They just left the CPU in my mail-box, and if it weren't for me looking at my camera's, and looking out for this part, it would have sat in the mail-box all day. My mail-box sadly is not very weather proof as well, and if it had been raining... It wouldn't have been good. Although it did come in a big box around it. The CPU also was jarred loose and flopping around in the box (Not held into the front window). I hope this review helps people! ... show more

  • Best bang for the buck
Style: i7-12700K
It's very fast, efficient and works with most applications gaming, office work etc. Short of AI generation there is no need to go i9, this i7 works great! No issues with overheating and works well with almost any graphics card. Sons of the forrest, COD and all the bigger games play flawlessly with high graphics, Definitely happy with the purchase. ... show more

  • An amazing CPU
Style: i7-12700K
Don’t let the bad reviews of the 13th and 14th gen CPUs scare you away from 12th gen and down. The 12th gen CPUs are not affected by the performance issues. This CPU is amazing, powerful, and energy efficient so you don’t need a big expensive air or liquid cooler. Despite it being a powerful CPU and best of all, its a great price. This CPU is great for gaming or working or just surfing the web. It’s such a great price to performance. It honestly feels like a steal. Definitely recommend. ... show more

  • Intel Core i7-12700K No overclock issues here
Style: i7-12700K
Was skeptical after reading all about Intel cpu issues. Just made sure motherboard had latest Intel bios with fix. Built this new pc and is running great, slightly overclocked and temps are very low. Benchmarks are on the higher scale. I use this for productivity not really high end gaming. Will buy again especially at Black Friday pricing, it was a better buy than AMD. ... show more

  • Good processor
Style: i7-12700K
A friend recommended this processor, bought on sale. Cooled with an EK 360 AIO, it runs in mid to low 30s, mid to low 40s in light gaming. It feels like a good value, although I haven't kept up with others in this price range. Suits my needs fine, no problems or complaints.

  • Moderately priced
Style: i7-12700K
Very good higher end processor but questionable if somewhat better performance than compatible I5 is worth the extra cost. Also, high operating temperature may require a more expensive high-quality cooler.
