        Very good

        Taken as part of a set-up, I'm satisfied. Everything works perfectly. Fast, efficient, what more could you ask for?

        Core i7 12700k

        Superb processor. Very good potential without increasing frequency. Excellent choice for a reasonable price.

        Perfect

        As a replacement for an I7 8700, on a PC for advanced video editing, in conjunction with an MSI MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI DDR4 CM with 32 GB DDR4 ram.

        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.

        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.

        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.
