  • Overkill for me and Most.
Style: i9-12900KS
This started a new PC build for me when it was on sale for $320. I haven't built a PC since 2007, so it has changed a bit since then. This thing runs hot at full load. Watch gamers nexus on YouTube. It will pull a solid 250+ watts running cinebench. I'm using an Arctic Freezer 2 420mm with a thermal grizzly contact frame and kryonaut, and it will load up to 80 degrees almost instantly without throttling but drop immediately to 25-30 degrees when the load stops. This is with ambient at 22 degrees. This thing is brutally fast, though, and in reality, outside of load testing it, I have rarely seen it go over 30% usage. The more recent i5 and i7 processors can more or less be equal in most use cases. i5 13/14600, i7 13/14700. This processor is still top-tier and will be for a few years to come. 12th gen i-series processors were a game-changer, the 13th-gen improved on them a bit with more e-cores, and the 14th-gen is looking like a stop-gap to the next big thing. You won't be disappointed; make sure to keep it cool. ... show more

  • Handles anything you throw at it
Style: i9-12900KS
Got this for a steal on Prime day and it works great with the system! Handles schoolwork, multitasking, and gaming with ease! The iGPU works fairly well on its own too (used it for about a week while waiting for my 4070-Ti). Great performance for price!

  • Cooking with fire...
Style: i9-12900KS
I came from an AMD 2990WX build that while it was good and stable, always had some quirks about it that just annoyed the crap out of me at best. While this probably can't multithread to the same degree, it does represent a lot of power and speed. 5.2GHz across 8 cores / 16 threads, on an air cooler and I'm not touching anything for OC...it's great as it is. Even the 'slow' cores clock in upwards of 4GHz, which the TR tapped out at best with 4.2 and that was only for a couple cores-worth. This one on air, does back off that max clock not soon afterwards; but I also have this in a 4u rack mounted case, with 4 chassis fans; vs the previous build which was on a 360 radiator/AIO, and had 13 system fans; but I was going for a rather ridiculous build with that vs this build I'm going for subtle/sleeper. That this system runs as fast as it does, with as little fan noise, on air...is something rather amazing. ... show more

  • 12900KS great Processor.
Style: i9-12900KS
This has everything i wanted in a CPU lot's of cores and threads for heavy editing and for gaming this might be the best gaming CPU i have had and some will till you it gets hot or uses a lot of wattage but i went in the bios and fine tuned it now even with it running 100% i never go above 80C and my last cinebench score was over 28.000 not bad for a 348.00 CPU i do recommend this i don't think you will be un-happy and it will give you many years of service.P.S.i also recommend using an anti bending plate Good luck. ... show more

Style: i9-12900KS
This processor is a monster. If you dont want to have to worry about buying a cpu for a few years, this is the one. Most games i play this thing is chillin at 15% CPU usage. A robust cooler is a must. This processor has a LOT of cores. Personally, i use the Noctua NH-D15 cooler and it does a phenomenal job of keeping this cpu cool. I highly. recommend installing Intel’s XTU program, which will allow you to manage the cpu in many ways. Good cpu. ... show more
