  • 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.

  • 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

  • Exelente
Style: i9-12900KS
Muy buen procesador. Me sirve estupendamente para trabajar con programas 3d, teniendo varias escenas pesadas abiertas y sin sentirse lento, además para renderizar va muy rápido.

  • Downgraded from 14900k
Style: i9-12900KS
My 14900k kept crashing games and was unstable right out of the box. Downgraded to this and it's solid at least and saves me about $300. The FPS difference for my purposes (gaming) is very minimal (<10FPS) from all my tests.. and my computer actually works. Also got 6800MT/S RAM to work with this if you're in the same boat. Definitely going AMD on my next build after this headache though. ... show more

  • Over-clockable!!!
Style: i9-12900KS
This beast of a CPU arrived on time and was well packaged. I bought this for a new gaming monster of a computer. Pros: Easy to mount. My CPU with little to no over clocking, runs at 3.5Ghz. With some fine tuning, it can run stability at 5.7Ghz on all cores with Efficiency cores running at 3.8Ghz. Awesome!!! Cons: Pricey considering the 13th generation is only $120 more dollars than this at the time of purchase. Ran into some issues with the CPU being recognized, but with a BIOS update, fixed. No other problems that i can find. If I find any I will update this review. Overall I think this CPU is an awesome one. It has definitely has made my build a beast of a machine!! I recommend this to anyone that doesn’t want to upgrade to Intels 13th generation CPUs!! ... show more

  • Solid CPU
Style: i9-12900KS
Picked one of these for an overclocking rig because it was on disc out. Challenges 2nd gen 32 core threadripper processors in Cinebench R23. Glad I went with this instead of a 13th or 14th gen now that those are bricking themselves.
