  • Powerhouse Cpu
Style: i9-12900KF
This processor is an absolute powerhouse. It handles everything I throw at it from high-end gaming to heavy multitasking and content creation without breaking a sweat. The performance is incredibly fast and smooth, with excellent responsiveness and low latency. Paired with a good cooling system, it runs efficiently even under load. No integrated graphics, but that’s expected and not an issue for anyone using a dedicated GPU. A top-tier CPU that’s worth every penny. ... show more

  • Great high end processor
Style: i9-12900KF
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. ... show more

  • Good
Style: i9-12900KF
This cpu is amazin! For even the heaviest of gaming it stays cool with a good dual air tower cooler. It installed into my motherboard just fine. You will need to have a more powerful dual tower air cooler with very fast fans or a liquid AIO cooler if you want to do rendering with this CPU because it will run very hot in those situations. big fan of intel and very glad with this CPU. Good product. ... show more

  • Great value for the money, fastest processor I have ever had. Runs hot as balls
Style: i9-12900KF
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. ... show more
