Product was easy to install. Made an absolute difference in my machines performance.

I will say that after a month of usage I have not had any of the stability issues I see posted around then internet, but as always, time will tell. ETA: I updated the bios of my MSI MPG Carbon MAX Wifi II the day I received the board to the most current A40 version.

Low Power consumption Awesome Temps Great IMC Powerful E Cores

8 cores of processing power yet low TDP X3D Cache makes for excellent gains in gaming performance I'm getting around 20-40 more FPS than my previous Ryzen 5 5600 1% lows are noticeably better, and games feel buttery smooth.

This processor is crazy fast. No problems with this one. AMD is still the cheaper and in some cases faster option compared to other choices.

- close in performance to much more expensive CPUs - 18 (!) cores - matches AMD in gaming and handily beats in productivity


First one was bad but second one is good no issues.



Much faster than my last CPU the 2700x from years ago. Improved my frame rate pretty substantially going from 70fps in STALKER2 to 150. The price was good - 135.00$ is a small price for the gains.


Usually upgrading a CPU doesn't do much for gaming. I didn't run benchmarks but the 12700k does feel like a massive upgrade over the 2600x Ryzen I had been using.

3d v cache

So far this CPU is great, I installed it on my new gaming PC I built and everything seems to be running well!

- 32 mb cache - Lower tdp than intel counterparts so it can work with cheaper air coolers - am4 clip on mounting is better, no need to fuss around with removing structural integrity backplates to get most coolers to work. - price is less than other comparable cpu that have less cache

Trade in program let me swap this for my old 13600k to get a much better binned CPU and two free games (Battlefield 6 & Assassin's Creed Shadows) for a grand total cost of $18 in the end. Not bad.

Exactly as described, no issues with the device. Immediately after the thermal paste cured, I put it through a stress test and it lived up to the projected improvement in performance I was expecting.

This thing really helped bring my pc back to life. Moved from an intel x99 platform (5930k) to this and i just had to move everything over and it booted up no issues. Much much much faster everything is snappy again.

-Locked 5ghz all core at 1.125v? Done - only being 7 points shy of a 5800x in Cinebench -PBO off + 85c TJMax (im on a stock cooler) + auto clock/voltage? 10 points shy of a 5800x -Can be undervolted, or over, while good and bad it has done 99 watts @ 1.25v and 5.2ghz -Apparently a 7600x without the iGPU, either way its the one to go for to start on AM5
