Great CPU, but the included stock fan is completely useless

Very happy with the CPU performance. You will need a decent CPU fan, as the supplied stock cooler is really only suited for light workloads. Even running 3 cores at 100%CPU was enough to send it over 90 degrees.

Super powerful

Got this CPU as part of a custom build by PB. They built and delivered it in a few days. This thing is fast and can handle a lot. The PC is being used for large multitrack recording projects and so far, not even breaking a sweat.

Great powerful cpu

Its a great cpu with i7 power. Does extremely well for most tasks. Only drawback is standard 12700 cost about $10 more and this F version doesnt really save much.

Ideal processor for my photographic processing demands at a great price

Easy to install and start up. Processing large Photoshop files/ multi files is so much faster than my 3 year old PC

Great Modern Gen CPU

Works well for intended purposes. Maybe a bit overkill if just intending to game, but is great if you have some extra budget to spare over the 12600. One thing to note that I did not know before this was that 4.9Ghz is only for single core, and multicore boost only reaches about 4.5Ghz each.

Works like a dream.

Bought this for my daughters PC, she was in need of an upgrade. This along with CPU & RAM has taken her from 60fps to 400fps in Valorant
