Intel Core i7 12700K 12 Core/20 Thread LGA1700 CPU

I bought one of these 'Processor 300' CPUs partly out of curiosity and partly because it was 20-odd quid (it's not worth more than that!).Clearly this CPU is not designed for heavy workloads, although it does not 'crash' as another reviewer states, it merely cripples the system so other applications sometimes become unusable - it doesn't take much to push a dual-core CPU to 100% usage these days.Used sensibly, this is a great, power-frugal CPU. I've deployed it into a HTPC in my living room, a job which it is perfectly suited for. At idle it can be made to consume less than 5W of power, and only goes to around 12W when playing back a 4K HDR video file. The built in graphics decode everything in hardware, including AV1. CPU usage is very low when consuming media.If used in a home server or HTCP, this CPU is a good deal at 20 to 30 quid. Just don't buy a dual core CPU in 2025 and moan that it is underpowered.

It a great cpu .i playing i highend games i just got a msi 4060 with it and i playing game well over 60fps and not water cooled just a big tower fan cooler and it plenty quiet .it work really well.does not go pass 70 it around normal 40 and 60c .low heat .ease installed.yes it easy value for money .great core size .but i only play in 1080p but my moniter his 180hz and i play everything on high or ultra.

Nice

I got this CPU for my first PC build.So far, I do not have any complaints with how it handles.Similarly, fitting it was not an issue as everything was quite straight forward.I would say you are getting what you expect with an Intel processor.No complaints from me!

First off I must admit I did have a panic when I realised that this seller was in the USA. My bad I should have checked. However it arrived in the UK within 3 days and was with me on the 4th. Then I got in a funk because I began to worry it was a fake. Absolutely not, this is the genuine article. I bought this processor after upgrading my main box. I planned to use the old mobo , power supply, memory and graphics card to throw together a budget Linux box. All went as planned and this processor fairly eats everything I’ve thrown at it. Clearly there are newer processors out there but if you are looking to build on a budget this is a good compromise.

Saves 10% of my time over others in photoshop.I was worried about the product quality ordering from amazon but I really did not need to.Excellent product and works like a dream in my pc

Building a new 12gen - DDR5 system and needed to upgrade my old 6700K CPU.Upgraded to this 12700K and to be honest, I was sceptical of the adverts selling page at first and the images advertising this 12700K CPU as they where mostly Chinese text.However, waited on some of the past buyers to answer some questions, after receiving some positive replies I decided to go ahead with the Purchase and I don't regret it!Thanks to the seller for their understand with my worries, they replied swiftly and Product was delivered 5 days ahead of time from the Florida US.This is a Genuine INTEL 12700K Processor for anyone else thinking or wanting to buy from this seller.Thanks again for an awesome, Smooth, swift service from TECH DEALZ

The media could not be loaded. This is a good cpu I have build a few now with this i7 and all good def worth a buy.
