I love the Intel i9 unlocked processor. I have always used Intel and will continue to do so. All of my games operate smoothly, the graphics are amazing used with the correct moniter and Gpu. In my opinion Intel beats Ryzen hands down.

This thing was so patient with me as I turned it on without a cooler several times because my pump was failing. Sure it shut off when it hit ~102 Celsius but there was no long term damage and now it serves me well with a working pump. We love to see it.

Are usually go for the best products and it was a mistake for my first PC build I chose this chip and I didn’t know it runs that hot I built my PC I had enough fans but I had a 240 mm radiator I want a Micro Center and had to get a 360 mm cooler from the pool. The temps were at 89 to 92C after the deep cool AIO under stress, test and bench testing the temp stay under 60C , other than that I game hard on it and stream and the CPU usage never goes past 30%. It’s pretty overkill but that’s how I like my PC.

Purchased this for my new rig as opposed to an i7 based on price point at time of purchase (this was actually cheaper than the i7).
Paired with RTX 4060TI 8GB.

NO regrets.
This can handle anything I throw at it, without issue (gaming wise) and never goes above 50/55C (not overclocked and cooled with 240MM AIO from Corsair) Idles around 32/33C
Very responsive with plenty of clearance if I ever want to OC this guy.
Heat was a concern after reading reviews and only having a 240MM radiator (sitting over a 4060Ti), but no issues – heat or performance) at all.

Great time to buy with new gen just arriving recently.

Came packaged kinda poorly, and didn’t include the golden coin case, which makes me think maybe it was pre owned. When I opened the packaging though it had no paste on it and the pins looked brand new, so maybe they just don’t include it anymore since it isn’t the newest flag ship??

many cores, able to run multiple virtual machines with unnoticeable slowdown to other functions. Stays at 1-3% when playing games paired with a 3070. May upgrade to 13th gen later, but i really can’t complain in terms of performance. Only have a dualfan/dual heatsink cpu cooler and it stays below 60 celsius at all times. Rests at about 30.

I recently got my hands on the Intel Core i9-12900K Desktop Processor, and I have to say, I am blown away by its performance. This processor is an absolute powerhouse, with 16 cores (8P+8E) and speeds of up to 5.2 GHz. It’s also unlocked, which means I can push its limits even further if I want to.

Installing the processor was easy enough, although I did have to make sure my motherboard was compatible with the LGA1700 socket and 600 series chipset. Once I had everything set up, I fired up my favorite games and applications to see how the processor would perform.

The results were nothing short of impressive. The i9-12900K chewed through every task I threw at it with ease, from demanding video editing software to the latest AAA games. I was able to multitask without any lag or slowdowns, and my system felt incredibly responsive and snappy.

The processor also runs surprisingly cool, even under heavy load. I did notice a slight increase in power consumption compared to my old processor, but it’s a small price to pay for the sheer performance boost.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Intel Core i9-12900K Desktop Processor. If you’re a power user or a gamer who demands the best performance, this processor is definitely worth considering. It’s not cheap, but in my opinion, it’s worth every penny for the sheer power and speed it delivers.

This CPU is power hungry under load but in games the CPU is fast. This also works fine for workstation workloads but this shines in gaming for sure. Also if you have the cooling this CPU can be clocked even higher for better performance. But for this you will need a decent CPU cooler.

This cpu is killer and can literally handle any game you throw at it on max settings, and the same can be said for most workload programs. However I bought it back in early 2022, when it was still way overpriced for what it is now

This is the fastest processor I’ve ever owned and with it I upgraded my entire pc. Even though I purchased last years model it’s still extremely fast and works well.. Make sure you pair this with a good motherboard otherwise it can run pretty hot.

I found this on sale for $350. A 12th gen i9 for a comparable price to an i7 I mean the review writes itself couldn’t have been more excited to get such a great cpu for such a competitive price.

So far this thing is great! I upgraded from the 9900K and this has been a noticeable difference. I’m still in the process of updating drivers and reinstalling some software. I haven’t done any overclocking so the Cinebench score and temps are straight stock settings.
After seeing all the info on how hot this thing can get I added the Thermalright contact frame. It was a breeze to install. I watched the Gamer’s Nexus video about this frame and followed their directions.
For the motherboard I went with a MSI Z690 MPG Edge Wifi DDR4 so I could reuse my current RAM. I had to order a LGA 1700 bracket for the NZXT Kraken X73 AIO. I ordered both the frame and the LGA 1700 mount from Amazon and both arrived fast and were exactly what I needed.
So far my temps are staying in the general range of my 9900K. I’m planning to do a little gaming this week with it so I’ll have a chance to see how it does under my daily use. I also do a bit of Premiere and After Effects so I’m looking forward to seeing how it works there as well.
Overall, this is probably way more processor than I NEED. I was still able to do what I needed to do with the 9900K. I built the 9900K in 2020 during the height of the astronomically high PC price wave. I ended up getting this processor for about $100 less than I paid for the 9900K two years ago. So the price-to-performance upgrade for me was a no brainer.
If you want a fast processor at a reasonably decent price, this is a great one to get. Just be aware you will need to pay attention to your cooling.

Great Upgrade from 9900K

It will handle all your multitasking needs with ease, even while gaming.
Only con I can think of is that it does run very hot so you’ll need a high end cooler to get the best performance

Sans doute l’un des meilleurs processeur du moment du coter de Intel. Le prix est assez leve mais la puissance ce fait ressentir, le passage sur la ram ddr5 est selon moi le meilleurs arguments de vente et un vrai avancement pour mon setup.

Trs pratique pour raliser des lives twitch sans devoir perdre de FPS en jeu.

There’s nothing more to say, if you only want gaming get an i7, unless you’re into emulation that’s the only instance where you’ll get an actual edge
It runs pretttty hot as it takes over 250 watts if it can, in my case over 270 so keep that in mind

Received at least a week earlier than the scheduled assessment for delivery.
Not installed yet but if you look at video reviews I’m sure you know this processor is going to preform when you need it as a creator.
At the moment I’m still using a 2010 year, i7 that endured the test of time in a properly built computer.
Now it’s time for the i9 12900K LGA1700 creator build computer to handle photography & video production in 2022.

Awesome Cpu blazzzing fast !!!!!! for gaming and other tasks . i see that the temps for this cpu work up into the 70’s and even higher 80 + my recommendation is to undervote your cpu if your just gaming that will lower temps. With good thermal paste Kingpin cooling KPX and a water cooler im getting 55-58c in gaming hope it helps.

I brought this processor for my gaming/workstation build .
Combining this processor with nzxt 360 mm liquid cooling AIO , things went smoothly.
It can handle literally all heavy tasks like 3d rendering , simulation , gaming , yet keeps temprature at 40c .
Highly recommended for best gaming rigs .
Note: 4th gen ssd is a plus for the build … Otherwise there might be bottleneck with gen3 ssds while doing 3d rendering works .

Now has a thin film over it. Don’t know how it receives electricity and signal from the socket on the motherboard, probably similar to wireless charging, but at least it protects the pins so less likely to damage them while handling the CPU during the build. After all CPU is the most or second mot expensive component in a PC build.

Other than that, the increase in core count and speed, couple with gen 4 SSD and RTX 3090 ti, everything else is just slow

The 12900k can be hard to justify. The 12700k is around two-thirds the cost and the difference in performance is only a few percent. Furthermore, you can get away with a moderate cooling solution on the 12700k whereas the 12900k really requires a top of the line cooler which will set you back even more. Even while using the NH-D15 CPU cooler I decided to underclock the 12900k a little bit in order to keep thermals in check, bringing the performance nearer to the 12700k. Given the option to do it over, I would have just gone with a 12700k and saved myself about $250.

Aside from the nightmare Alder Lake is with ram clocking, this thing does everything you need to. Consistently hits 5.1 – 5.2ghz when needed.

Don’t listen to the AMD fanboys who try to slander this chip for its heating. I literally just have a 240mm AIO and it doesn’t go above 78 and when gaming never even touches 70. Just do 5 seconds of research on a half decent air cooler or AIO and you’re fine with temps

Purchased this CPU to finally upgrade my tired 8086k that I have had for close to 4 years now, and considering I also own a 3090 I was lucky enough to get last year, it was time. Paired with said gpu and a MSI Tomahawk Z690 with a Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black cooler, this cpu runs complete marathons around my old 8086k. Certain games that would fully saturate my 8086k while also getting notifications from something like Discord would introduce very bad stutter, however those are completely eliminated with the 12900k. Temps are high when Im doing full resolution photo renders from my DJI Air 2S or Sony a6400 or straight up benchmarking, but that is expected and I’m not one to sweat about 80-90c temps, but if you are I would recommend the 12700k/5900x as they both run cooler and draw less wattage. However in gaming with multiple different Firefox tabs and discord/telegram open, it never even touches 70c, so your experience may vary depending on what type of work load you are doing. Make sure that if you do have a high powered gpu that you also have a high output power supply with a high efficiency rating as well, as my system can suck north of 600-750w full tilt (my power supply being a 1200w platinum EVGA that doesnt break a sweat under full load).

I only used laptops up to this point and this is my first PC build however I got this processor specifically for Workstation class computation and high performance gaming. The Core i9-12900K is blazing fast and uses very little watts for gaming mostly hovering around 65W~80W in the games I have played so far. It renders 3D projects at such a speed I hardly have time to do something else before it is complete which is a great change of pace. I would say the Core i5-12600K is better geared for gaming and this is much more geared towards production or enthusiast class gaming. I highly recommend this processor or anything in the 12th gen Alder Lake family.

Full System Specs:
ASUS Prime Z690-A
Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black
Intel Core i9-12900K 5.2GHz
NVIDIA RTX A5000 24GB ECC
