        Purchase of a customised tower

        I would like to thank the salesperson for their warm welcome and advice on choosing and assembling my tower.
        I highly recommend this shop.

        does the job, but...

        Good product and good value for money for a branded water cooling kit.
        However, I agree with the previous comments: get another thermal paste and don't use the one provided.
        Impossible to apply properly, too pasty, a real headache... luckily I had some left over, otherwise I would have spent the whole afternoon on it! :)
        One star less for that, otherwise no complaints.

        Very satisfied, fast delivery

        Good CPU at a fairly competitive price, great performance for gaming.
        I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to upgrade from an i3/i5 to an i7 without selling a kidney with the new-generation i9.

        At the top but

        A former supporter of Intel for reasons of compatibility/reliability with audio software etc., I am still not disappointed. I'm still not disappointed. Provide good cooling, I was advised nhd15g2, and I am more than satisfied with the result. The price is worth it and not so excessive when you see the level of quality and silence!

        Very good CPU at a competitive price

        A very good CPU at a very competitive price in 2025, because two generations have been released in the meantime. That said, it's still more than good enough for many applications, including gaming (unless you pair it with the most powerful GPUs, I suppose). Personally, I've underclocked it to limit heat and ventilation, and I still have plenty of room for manoeuvre.

        quality equipment

        quality equipment but very long delivery time, due to waiting for another part which was finally bought elsewhere from another supplier in 2 days, during this month's wait ldlc did not get back to us, very disappointed.

        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.

        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.

        Excellent

        This processor surprises me for its power reserves.
        Otherwise it runs well.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one.

        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!
