  1. CaceeK –

    Amazing processer to use for games. Or for rendering games.

  2. Cesar –

    Works great and haven’t had any problems, Haven’t run into a game I couldn’t run 🙂

  3. r3FleX –

    Extremely fast. There’s a reason why intel Is highly regarded.

  4. RalphK –

  5. BBerson –

    Very good chip! Was the best one I’ve bought so far.

  6. Cherry –

    I went from a i7 8700 to this a man o man what an upgrade

  7. Mike –

    great processor. runs nice and cool with tt 360 aio

  8. Zeale –

    Do you have lots of money? Do you enjoy high end gaming (in 2023)? It is probable that this will do what you need it to do. Placed in a RTX 4070ti build, with 32GB 3200 DDR4 memory. Never recognized any particular slow performance with this CPU, although it runs a little hot. Doesn’t come with a fan or cooling device, like most Intel processors.

  9. Alex –

    Good cpu for the cost. Good overclock performance and value for the cost

  10. DavidG –

    This is an awesome CPU. Obviously not worth the full price when there are better options today, I got this on sale for $275 and I couldn’t be happier with the performance compared to my previous i7-9700f.

  11. AndralynA –

    It gives me no problems as far as I’ve seen since it’s been installed and my computer has never run faster since the upgrade.

  12. Paul –

    The CPU is exactly as advertised. No graphics but powerful little tool.

    3 stars because it didn’t come with a CPU fan. Never had I ever received a CPU without a matching fan… Not sure why they wouldn’t include one.

  13. Imperf3ct –

    This processor is amazing. I noticed dramatic improvement compared to my last CPU. Ordered online and it was ready in under 10 minutes! Best Buy has never let me down!

  14. RacetimeS –

  27. DirtyArty –

    The Intel Core i7-12700K Desktop Processor impresses with its formidable 12 cores (8 Performance + 4 Efficiency), boasting speeds up to 5.0 GHz when pushed to the limit. Its unlocked potential is a treat for overclocking enthusiasts, providing a substantial performance boost for demanding tasks and gaming. Compatible with the LGA1700 socket and 600 Series chipsets, it ensures future-proofing and efficient power management. However, the 125W power consumption might concern some users conscious of energy efficiency. Overall, it’s a powerhouse that caters to both productivity and gaming needs, albeit with a slightly higher power draw.

  28. Haishan –

    this thing is a workhorse! ive got mine clocked to 5.0GHz and it runs like a dream, keep in mind this unit will require a water pump air coolers are not enough!

  29. CeasarM –

  39. Raslorn –

    I love it i have it paired with a evga 3090 ftw3 and have a 240mm aio on it and never breaks 60c with the 120w power set up. previous cpu was a r7 5800x and it blows it out the water, no doubt.

  40. CorbinK –

    Other than the very tense lever lock for the lga1700 socket. No complaints, runs everything my girlfriend has put it through. Great gift!!

    This product was for an affordable price but also works wonders in my game. This is the perfect cpu for gamers.

  46. SusanS –

    Grandson had this put together for gaming.
    He is very happy with it.

  47. AJBro –

    Overpriced for being 12th Gen. It only supports ddr 4 and 5 speeds of mediocre values. DDR5 is the future, therefore get 13th gen for a bit more money but a much better performance.

  48. BrandonY –

    It’s run perfectly and I’m really enjoying my use out of it

  49. WaisheM –

    Great processor, has very good thermals and doesn’t overheat.
