A great processor from Intel… Stable under massive parallel processing apps, and doesn’t appear to over heat using the proper heatsink. I chose a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE heat sink, and haven’t had problems with heat. I run the processor on a B760 chipset ASUS ATX mother board, and have not had any issues with compatibility. A great processor!

The media could not be loaded.
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.

I ended up having to do a new computer build after the G. SKIL RAM died (DDR4). The RAM was in an older computer that had an Intel 8th Gen Processor. I was hoping to just find a less expensive way out of upgrading, but between only being able to get motherboards and processors from China (Intel 9th, 10th gen), plus Windows 11 wasn’t friendly with those gens of processors, I opted to bite the bullet and settled for this Alder Lake processor which was “processor of the year” a couple years ago on Tom’s Hardware. I combined it with an ASUS ROG STRIX Z790Z-E motherboard, Crucial 4800mhz DDR5 RAM (that’s what’s recommended by Intel), a Noctua 120mm dual-fan air cooler, recycled Samsung solid state drives, and new case fans. The i9 processor in that configuration is very fast. For those that complain that the ASUS board has trouble accessing the internet, yep I did too. Turns out that I needed to use a laptop to download the Ethernet and WiFi drivers from Intel and a few more drivers, too. Also learned that my older RJ-45 cable was a problem so replaced it, too. Someone on the internet said that the i9K processor is so powerful having fewer RAM mhz doesn’t matter, so I took the recommendation and saved some money without sacrificing performance. This will likely be my last build, so I bought a new Planteks case to put it all in. 🙂

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 .

An older version, but more powerful than most. Works very well.

Exceptional bang for buck gaming CPU, no issues with microcode like the 13th and 14th generational chips.
It was THE flagship chip for the 12th gen chips. If you’re building your own PC and want to buy Intel and this is in your price range, buy without hesitation (until late 2026)

Good chip before 13th & 14th Gen chip problems

I purchase this CPU 1 year ago and it cost me 74,000 JPY back then.
the price didn’t drop much since that time and the performance is satisfying so far.
the new generation spec is higher so if you want to buy this CPU don’t. instead, you can buy i7 Gen13 as it will have the same spec plus a better cache than the 12 Gen.
it might be better to buy the K version in case you have issues with your GPU to troubleshoot.

I’ve put together a few systems and run some retail 12900k chips so far and the 12900k is by far an amazingly fast CPU.
Unfortunately this one I ordered from Amazon came already opened. As soon as I opened the shipping box I could tell it had been opened before. The edge was uneven and the label crease was loose. I put my X-acto Knife down (which is what you need or something similar to open these as the label is there for a reason) and with just the gentlest of pressure the label peeled away from the center where someone oh so nicely had finely cut the label horizontal to make it easy to fold one side back over the other and with just a quick once over it looked almost normal.
If I hadn’t opened a few of them already with Intel’s fancy new packaging I probably would not have noticed but the way the packaging normally is, it is VERY precise, tight, even lines and you will not be easily or gently opening it up with a simple light finger pry.
My biggest fear was there wasn’t going to be a CPU in there at all but luckily the right CPU was in there that matched the container batch but if something is sold as new I don’t do open boxes.
Make sure to check your packages before opening. The seal should be nice and tight and straight. The edges of the back flap should be firm and secure against the other flap and the bottom line/edges should be even and exacting.
Give a gentle pull on each corner of the box where the label keeps it sealed to make sure it hasn’t been altered or tampered with. It should be VERY firm and unable to just pull open easily. Look at the condition of the box itself around that area and even the gold disk inside.
Fresh, brand new i9 12900k’s are very pristine and boxed with precision.
Still, they are fantastic processors overall and a worthy upgrade from 10th and 11th gen.

This thing never goes over 15 percent usage, and most games its actually using 0-4 percent. Even on Escape From Tarkov at max settings 4k 140+ fps its using 4 percent at max and usually is at 0-1 percent, I don’t know if it’s my computer reading an error but I use a few apps to check including the task manager tab. I use an NZXT AIO and the temps on this thing are under 20 idle and when I’m gaming on any game it never goes over 45 and usually is in the low 30s. I tried WOW classic, Retail, Cyberpunk, Spiderman , and regularly play Escape from tarkov and all at 4k max settings and this thing just stays cool and and low usage. My GPU barely works as I have a 3090 TI, my GPU is usually at USAGE 40-50 percent at max 60 percent and stays cool, so I don’t think anything is bottle necking.
My old computer has an I5 and I have a laptop with an I7 and when I am gaming they are usually at 90+ percent usage. Even my friend with the AMD 5800x3D was getting at least 30+percent usage for AAA games. This is the first Computer I’ve built where I’m actually not even worried about the CPU for how cool it runs. I’m really shocked on how good its performance is, Definitely recommend.
