Pros: Great performance, decent thermals I haven’t had it configured long but in geek bench (not perfect I know) I got 1915 ST/14043 MT with stock settings and air cooling (Noctua NH-D15). I got these scores with DDR4, so the speed is great even without DDR5 which was a lot cheaper since I could use my existing RAM. I ran a CPU stress test for a while and it maxed out at around 67-68 degrees Celsius. Cons: Power usage is higher than AMD 5800X/5900X, but not dramatically so from what I have…

Pros: Easy install Fast gaming Cons: Dont use a old version of windows. Newer drivers werent compatible Overall Review: Worth the upgrade for me. Coming from a i5 8500

Pros: Gaming with this cpu has been a real treat. Most games Ive played hasnt been able to push the i7-12700k to its limits, and Im talking games like Tarkov, Apex, etc.. for that reason it stays moderately cool with my Corsair AIO cooler, and I am positive a big air cooler would perform just as good to keep it cool. The efficiency cores and performance cores are a cool new idea to processing power, and its nice to have for having multiple things open at once. Ive only gamed on an amd 8350x…

Pros: – Extremely fast – Very efficient – No Compatibility issues as yet – Great all around work horse if you don’t want to go with the I9 Cons: – slight thermaling issues Overall Review: Great overall cpu I would highly recommend.

Pros: – Fast and able to handle many tasks at a time – Price, not much more than 11th gen for about 20% increase in performance Overall Review: For my first time PC build, I decided to upgrade from the Stone Age to gen 12 Alder lake. Was so close to going gen 11 Rocket Lake, but I’m glad I treated myself for a little bit more in terms of price for a huge leap in performance. It does require windows 11 and as of now I’m having difficulties with my peripherals (Razor Kraken Tournament edition)…

Cons: Used ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO CPU Cooler and it hits 99 degrees C when running Prime 95. I’m not sure if that’s just because it’s a hot CPU or the large air cooler isn’t sufficient. Overall Review: I use it for gaming. I used to use it for simulation work and may get into that again. Worth the upgrade from an i7-4790K.

Overall Review: A great CPU so far, super fast and all – I upgraded from a 7-th Gen “Kaby Lake” system – so it is way faster, generally consider things to be twice as fast and up. As some of the detailed reviews show, you get similar / most of the speed of the Core i9 “K” model, but with way less power consumption and heat – and we are still talking about 20 H/W threads! I should mention that, even though it is using about twice the power of my old Core i7-7700, air cooling still works fine…

Pros: This processor can complete an infinite loop in about 4 and 1/2 hours. Seriously, this is an amazing fast processor at a price that cannot be touched. Recently I was a AMD fanboy but this processor got me back to Intel. Cons: Doesn’t make omelettes. Overall Review: Very highly recommended.
