    • Overkill for me and Most.
Style: i9-12900KS
This started a new PC build for me when it was on sale for $320. I haven't built a PC since 2007, so it has changed a bit since then. This thing runs hot at full load. Watch gamers nexus on YouTube. It will pull a solid 250+ watts running cinebench. I'm using an Arctic Freezer 2 420mm with a thermal grizzly contact frame and kryonaut, and it will load up to 80 degrees almost instantly without throttling but drop immediately to 25-30 degrees when the load stops. This is with ambient at 22 degrees. This thing is brutally fast, though, and in reality, outside of load testing it, I have rarely seen it go over 30% usage. The more recent i5 and i7 processors can more or less be equal in most use cases. i5 13/14600, i7 13/14700. This processor is still top-tier and will be for a few years to come. 12th gen i-series processors were a game-changer, the 13th-gen improved on them a bit with more e-cores, and the 14th-gen is looking like a stop-gap to the next big thing. You won't be disappointed; make sure to keep it cool. ... show more

    • Powerhouse CPU
Style: i9-12900KS
Have been using this CPU for over a year now, it's incredibly powerful and fast for gaming and video editing. It does put off a lot of heat though, I'd recommend using a 360 AIO to keep it cool.

    • Last good Intel CPU
Style: i9-12900KS
While its hot, its the last stable and good Intel CPU.

    • Excellent value
Style: i9-12900KS
Excellent value, runs great and is VERY FAST. Needs proper cooling (360mm AIO for example). Runs without throttling at Intel default setting. Definitely recommended.

    • Real, legitimate processor. Works great in my new build.
Style: i9-12900KS
What can I say? Sometimes you roll the dice on here for real vs knockoffs or no electronics at all. This vendor sent the real deal in a sealed carton. 5/5 would do business again.

    • SP is only 92 ! Indistinguishable from ordinary i9-12900k processor in form and function .
Style: i9-12900KS
The ASUS motherboard this cpu is mounted in says the SP rating is merely 92 . For these "KS" chips you expect to see 100 or higher . There is absolutely no reason to pay even a single penny more for this cpu instead of an "ordinary" i9-12900K since they are both the same thing ! Fortunately this was on special ! It works ....but so does the i9-12900KF cpu I own which retailed for $130 cheaper ! ... show more

    • Plain box
Style: i9-12900KS
I didn't get the "fancy" wafer box, just a normal intel box. It is a decent BIN. 97 SP overall, P Cores 108, E Cores 79.
