        efficiency

        I was on a 9th gen i5 so was failing a bit on the new config, this 12th gen i7 is perfect for front line gamer config.

        For gaming use only, I can't wait to find a game that makes it cough. My 7800xt is now the weakest link in my configuration.

        my opinion

        so on the whole everything is fine except that the processor arrived at my house in a very damaged package.
        I fitted it anyway, we'll see later,
        Otherwise in terms of playability and road holding I'm pleasantly surprised I'm throwing in an I 7 9700K.

        More is better

        An oversized processor for many uses, especially gaming. Very good benchmark performance. Just make sure you have a good cooling system. In a 100% stress test on all cores, it consumes 240W. With a well-built 360mm AIO, its temperature is maintained at 80-85°c.

        The monster is back

        I upgraded from a Core i7-9700KF to a Core i7-12700KF and what a joy it is to play with this processor - it's a monster, instantly responsive. I'd recommend it to gamers looking for a powerful CPU.

        For MAO-oriented PCs

        I wanted to change my DAW PC this time, and unlike all my previous computers, I decided to choose each element in a configuration that would evolve over time according to my needs.

        As far as the INTEL CORE I7-12700K processor is concerned, I'm fully satisfied. It's paired with a GIGABYTE Z790 UD AX and a BE QUIET! DARK ROCK 4 PROCESSOR FAN. It's fast and efficient, and more than enough for computer music.

        To help others, here's the software I use:
        - Windows 11
        - Steinberg: Cubase Pro 12, HALion, Dorico 4 ;
        - Native Instrument Komplete Ultimate ;
        - iZotope ;
        - Superior Drummer 3, EZbass
        - etc.

        After several months of use, I'm really pleased ^^.

        Very good.

        Being used to INTEL CPUs for most of my life, I am very happy with my choice.

        - The performance for my various jobs and games is very good, especially since my previous CPU was an i7-4790K (OC at 4.5Ghz).
        - The integrated IGPU is useful for me and works well.
        - No temperature problems so far, although I'm using a (well adapted) fan.
        - No problem with the OC after some tests, but I only use the boost mode for the moment.

        Anyway.
        It's all good for now and for my use. It remains to be seen how durable it is.

        Opinion on component as part of a complete configuration

        Being used to INTEL processors for a long time, I don't regret the choice for this model which offers gaming performance very close to the 12900 but at a lower price.

        The fan supplied with the box is very noisy!

        I'm switching from a 4th generation i7 box CPU with a box fan to this new generation and it's clear: the new fans are horribly noisy! If this is important to you, don't hesitate to replace it.
        As for the performance of this CPU, nothing to complain about...
        Note that the box version without fan (the KF) is more expensive... So do your calculations if the OC is not important for you.

        From perf to cube

        I'm not sure what else to say, this processor makes the coffee.
        I haven't managed to push it to its limits yet, it doesn't seem to suffer when I throw tons of calculations at it to do machine learning, it's still a very good investment to be safe for years.

        Perfect

        I went from 4790K (very old) to 12700KF, and it's night and day.
        The test results are impressive in benchmark. On my side, it was easy to make it saturate at almost 100% :)
        If you are a 3D artist, use a 3D software and test the renders. The speed of calculation is impressive.

        Coupled with an Asus ROG Strix Z690-G Gaming Wifi + corsair DDR5 in 5600Mhz, it's the ideal combo.

        As for the temperature, I use a Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black. In idle, the processor is around 28/30° and in quite intense stress 75° (tests in a heat wave at about 37° outside).

        In short, an excellent processor. Thanks to LDLC.

        Good management

        ! I have no expertise to evaluate a processor !

        Nevertheless, despite the synchronization of 1 NVMe + 5 SSDs on a remote server, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Bridge, VS Code and 4 servers in localhost, Starcraft 2 and Lost Ark launched at the same time.

        The processor holds up without any problem, it doesn't heat up particularly, I don't feel any slowdown of it. Its performance is good.

        Powerful processor

        The performance is quite good. But I came across one with a very low overclocking margin. Asus' predictive score is 65/100, while a good processor should be above 80/100. Bad luck.

        Temperature problem set

        I'd like to make an edit on my previous comment, my cooling problem is fixed, I hadn't tightened the waterblock enough due to a faulty part. The CPU runs in boost mode on cinebench at 66° maximum, and 27° in idle, so all is well. I recommend it!

        Temperature problem

        Very powerful processor but it heats up a lot. I am watercooling with 3 x 120 mm dedicated and the processor reaches 100 degrees in turbo mode at 4.8Ghz, I am obliged to "restrict" it to normal mode at 3.6Ghz for the moment until I find a solution.
        I give it 8/10 because I think I can fix the problem. If not, my real grade would be 5-6/10.

        Great!

        Nothing to complain about, impossible to charge it to 100% in normal use.
        In intensive use it is remarkable!
        Some people advise to deactivate the e-cores for certain games because it slows down the performances, for my part I did not notice any slackening yet

        Fast and efficient

        What about this CPU...

        I came from an i7-6700K, which was holding my RTX 3080 back quite a bit, but I didn't know it was that bad. Once I changed the processor (and the motherboard), it was all over. Everything is incredibly smooth in ultra/extreme 1440p ultra-wide, without excessive heating (with a Corsair 2x120mm AIO, it goes up to 70°C maximum), in a great silence.

        As for productivity, I work on Linux (backend development) with Docker containers all over the place, and whatever I do, the system follows in all circumstances.

        I was a bit dubious about the gain (compared to the astronomical price), but the use of the system has removed all my regrets.

        Opinions on Core I7-12700K

        Installed on the Asus ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI motherboard, I had no problems with the functioning. Processor recognized, operational and very reactive at the application level.

        It's about time!

        Finally Intel is getting back to work and offering a good processor. It allowed me to switch from a 9700K to a 12700KF (not graphics optional but not really needed). The hybrid operation is a good solution and allows to be energy efficient when not playing. On the other hand, despite a H115i Corsair, it heats up hard when working at full speed (80°C), so it's quite energy consuming. For the overclocking, apart from stabilizing the voltage delivered to the processor, which goes crazy at times (benchmarks), I don't think it's of much interest given the extra power consumption required.

        Intel is back in the race!

        Very very good processor, I was waiting patiently with my old i7 7700K, and what can I say WOW, compress a video while playing, stream and play, everything goes cream, not a micro freeze nothing. The temperature is decent under full load if you have a good cooler and a good thermal paste of course 65/66°C for my part. I have not tested the OC for the moment but it can largely take 10°C more, I recall that its TDP is at 100°C so there is still some margin even if I advise a safety threshold to avoid premature aging of the Proc at 75/80°C max!
