After 2.5 years, this processor is still amazing and seems like a great deal now. With memory becoming impossible to procure at any reasonable price, savings anywhere in PC building seems worth it. The entire line of 12th gen intel CPU's were one of their last extremely stable and reliable series, with the 13th and 14th gens having various post-production issues. This i9-12900KF chip in particular runs a bit hot (at least mine does ~45-50C idle on stock), but I've been able to easily undervolt it to more reasonable temperatures (~35-40C idle) while on both stock and overclocked settings (air cooled w/ thermalright peerless assassin 120 SE). For the last year, I've only been undervolting though as I've been more than satisfied with its capability in both multi-tasking scenarios and gaming. From video recording and editing; virtualized programming environments; to playing modern games on both windows and linux - this chip is more than capable and I do not feel close to needing an upgrade yet.

I ordered this processor since I needed to finally upgrade my system to something more current. However I did not know that even though the motherboard I purchased supported onboard Video, that this processor (KF) does not have the internal code to support onboard video. I was racking my brain and all indications were that I had a bad MB or RAM but in fact, I just had to install a standalone GPU that I wasn't currently using and all was well. MB, RAM, Video all working great. Now I know why this processor was cheaper and its not a big deal, but being a computer builder since the 90's and a certified electronics tech., I would have thought that my pre-investigation would have uncovered this from the beginning, but the advertisers evidently specifically do not mention this little fact in the Tech Details they post. So all is good but just be aware and have spare parts. You never know when you might need to prove something for a new computer build.

I am extremely impressed with the performance of the Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset. With its 125W power, it provides exceptional speed and efficiency for my gaming and productivity needs. The chipset is rock-solid, supporting my Intel Core processor without a hitch, and it delivers smooth multitasking and impressive overall performance. Overclocking capabilities are a bonus, allowing me to push my system to new levels without compromising stability. If you're looking for a high-quality chipset that offers great performance and power efficiency, I highly recommend this LGA1700 600 Series chipset.

Insane performance jump for me from i5 without switching socket or risking the i9 overheating issues (yeah, the'yre solved but I'm still leery of the product) Also an incredible price for the performance this chip provides.

I wanted to upgrade from my i5 and figured it didn't get much better than this run of i9s. It was packaged well, looked brand new, and clean. It went in my big box easily and fit nicely. It is a huge speed upgrade. Everything loads 116% faster. My browsers are lightning fast. My video editing runs smooth and fast. The gaming is insane. Everything renders so smoothly and faster than I have ever seen. However, the dual cooler I had purchased for this i9 is NOT working to keep it cool enough. I have six or so fans running inside the box, and when playing online games like Path Of Exile and Once Human, it overheats to 160 degrees within five minutes. So, I need to do more research to figure out how to cool this thing down. If anyone has a recommendation, let me know. Bang for your buck, though, this is a HUGE upgrade from even an i7.

I am a computer science teacher. This processor is wonderful. I have used AMD processors my entire life and made the switch to intel with this processor. This most recent purchase was actually my second copy of this processor. It is very doubtful you will reach its maximum. Because it is Intel and not AMD, each core is more powerful but there are less cores. This makes this processor better for things like video games, and less effective for things like machine learning. The installation is much easier now that Intel is not using long easy to bend pins. I have never had any heat sync issues with this processor, it is incredibly stable and works perfectly with a RTX 4080 ti.
