Some background information: I wanted to upgrade after receiving an Amazon gift card (I have never ordered computer parts from Amazon though). I upgraded from a Ryzen 7 1700, with an ASUS x370-f board. I really wanted to upgrade, and was sad also that Windows 11 did not support my CPU! I will give it to Microsoft for this, as it made A LOT of people upgrade their entire computers, all for basically the same OS as of now with newer looks, and not much done under the hood (EXCEPT for 12th gen Intel, so good news there too). Sadly, my old board STILL doesn't support the Ryzen 7 5000 series, and only the 3000 series (They are working on a BIOS apparently for the 5000 series, because of people who were in my shoes). I first almost ordered the Ryzen 7 3800XT, for $400! After a couple hours of research, asking, and thinking about it... I cancelled that order (Thankfully) and thought "Well, if I am going to spend this much on upgrading my CPU, I might as well go all in/spend a little more for something better, as this may be my last big upgrade in this regard for awhile." I was then going to get the Ryzen 7 5800X with an Asus board. There lied a problem of price, I could not find a board AND get that CPU still within my budget (At-least not a board that wasn't worse than the one I had in ways). I mentioned I had posted on the AMD subreddit, and even they suggested I go Intel (Intel is just killing it as of now, hands down, although I am sure AMD will retaliate). I ended up getting the MSI Z690-A DDR4 (I wish I had the money for DDR5 RAM, I would have went with the DDR5 version as it was basically the same price). I had A LOT of second thoughts on this board though, as it just didn't seem "Premium" as the one I had (I am going to do a whole review on it after this. I'll save my Pros & Cons for there.) This CPU also auto-clocks itself up or down depending on the load (Saw it clock down to 1GHz, although not for long, for example if not much processing power is warranted, which makes sense and I wish everything did). So if idling, it will clock down and save power/heat/and therefore longevity is increased. I absolutely love this CPU coming from AMD. Anyways...
If you have a Corsair H100I RGB Platinum or similar cooler already: The included 1200 screws work just fine with the 1700 socket and this CPU, even though you are supposed to get the 1700 kit/screws for this CPU (Which I did, but they are taking FOREVER to ship, so I googled, and someone said using the 1200 screws will work just fine). I get better temps. than my Ryzen 7 1700. I can even overclock EVEN MORE but have no need, and no point.
TL:DR
Upgraded from: Ryzen 7 1700, Asus Rog Strix x370-f gaming.
Upgraded to: i7-12700K, MSI Z690-A DDR4.
Parts kept: 4x8GB 32GB DDR4 CL16 3000MHz RAM (With XMP, D.O.C.P), RTX 2070. The RAM works great with this CPU as well, although it TECHNICALLY (Latency wise, runs at 2T on Intel instead of 1T on AMD) runs slower than when on AMD (AMD's infinity fabric) but obviously whatever Intel is doing makes up for that, and therefore my RAM either runs faster/the same)
Pros: It is an amazing CPU for price VS performance. The i5-12600K is good as well (I almost just went with it), and you would be fine going with it for gaming (As even it still has more cores technically than the Ryzen 7 5800X, it also beats the 5800X even though THIS CPU is supposed to be its comparison rival brother.) This CPU has cool temps on my Corsair H100I RGB Platinum cooler, and the P&E core structure are REALLY cool and fun to watch when doing tasks/gaming. It shipped fast!
Cons: Literally none with the CPU itself. Just with shipping - It shipped really fast! Was here in 2-3 days after purchasing on here. The biggest complaint I have is Amazon's shipping (SO BE AWARE OF THIS) I have never ordered computer parts from Amazon, and have always used New-egg. They just left the CPU in my mail-box, and if it weren't for me looking at my camera's, and looking out for this part, it would have sat in the mail-box all day. My mail-box sadly is not very weather proof as well, and if it had been raining... It wouldn't have been good. Although it did come in a big box around it. The CPU also was jarred loose and flopping around in the box (Not held into the front window).
I hope this review helps people!

The installation process of the i7-12700K was smooth and straightforward. The immediate improvement in processing speed and multitasking efficiency was astounding. As someone who juggles between demanding tasks like gaming, video editing, and 3D rendering, this processor has exceeded all my expectations.
Seeing the transformation in my PC's performance, my girlfriend, who primarily uses her computer for graphic design and occasional gaming, became keen on upgrading her system too. After installing the i7-12700K in her computer, she's been thrilled with the significant enhancement in her workflow, especially with how seamlessly it handles graphic-intensive applications and multitasks without a hitch.
The 12th-gen architecture of the i7-12700K really stands out, offering exceptional multi-threaded performance while maintaining efficient power usage. For our gaming sessions, this CPU has been outstanding, providing smooth, high-frame-rate experiences.
In terms of thermal management, the i7-12700K is quite efficient. It maintains reasonable temperatures under load, although investing in a good cooling solution is advisable to ensure optimal performance.
Admittedly, purchasing two of these processors did put a dent in our budget. However, considering the dramatic improvements in both our computing experiences, it feels like a worthwhile investment. The efficiency, speed, and multitasking capabilities it offers have made both our digital lives much more enjoyable and productive.
In summary, the Intel Core i7-12700K from Amazon has not just met but surpassed our expectations. Its blend of raw power, efficiency, and multitasking prowess makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of users, from gamers to professional creatives. If you're contemplating an upgrade or building a new PC, the i7-12700K should definitely be on your radar. Just be aware, its impressive performance might just have others wanting one too!

I was wrong...
This cpu is a monster in my eyes. Running with 32GB of ram (ddr4) and matched with the RTX 4070 GPU being cooled by the Artic Liquid Freezer ii, there is nothing stopping this from performing to its max. I would recommend this piece of kit to anyone, starting out or continuing on with building computers for their "high end" gaming etc. I have not once seen this struggle.
Seul défaut c'est que très vite quand on prend une 4080 il tire un peu la langue en 4k. Je vais devoir le changer après 2 ans à cause de bottleneck, mais sur une config avec une 3080(ti) ça doit être une très belle synergie.
Très bon sur les tâches processeurs aussi, pour l'utiliser pour faire un peu de rendu les perfs sont vraiment bonnes.
