Perfect
As a replacement for an I7 8700, on a PC for advanced video editing, in conjunction with an MSI MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI DDR4 CM with 32 GB DDR4 ram.

For MAO-oriented PCs
I wanted to change my DAW PC this time, and unlike all my previous computers, I decided to choose each element in a configuration that would evolve over time according to my needs.
As far as the INTEL CORE I7-12700K processor is concerned, I'm fully satisfied. It's paired with a GIGABYTE Z790 UD AX and a BE QUIET! DARK ROCK 4 PROCESSOR FAN. It's fast and efficient, and more than enough for computer music.
To help others, here's the software I use:
- Windows 11
- Steinberg: Cubase Pro 12, HALion, Dorico 4 ;
- Native Instrument Komplete Ultimate ;
- iZotope ;
- Superior Drummer 3, EZbass
- etc.
After several months of use, I'm really pleased ^^.Review automatically translated -

Very good.
Being used to INTEL CPUs for most of my life, I am very happy with my choice.
- The performance for my various jobs and games is very good, especially since my previous CPU was an i7-4790K (OC at 4.5Ghz).
- The integrated IGPU is useful for me and works well.
- No temperature problems so far, although I'm using a (well adapted) fan.
- No problem with the OC after some tests, but I only use the boost mode for the moment.
Anyway.
It's all good for now and for my use. It remains to be seen how durable it is.Review automatically translated -

Opinion on component as part of a complete configuration
Being used to INTEL processors for a long time, I don't regret the choice for this model which offers gaming performance very close to the 12900 but at a lower price.

Powerful processor
The performance is quite good. But I came across one with a very low overclocking margin. Asus' predictive score is 65/100, while a good processor should be above 80/100. Bad luck.

Temperature problem set
I'd like to make an edit on my previous comment, my cooling problem is fixed, I hadn't tightened the waterblock enough due to a faulty part. The CPU runs in boost mode on cinebench at 66° maximum, and 27° in idle, so all is well. I recommend it!

Temperature problem
Very powerful processor but it heats up a lot. I am watercooling with 3 x 120 mm dedicated and the processor reaches 100 degrees in turbo mode at 4.8Ghz, I am obliged to "restrict" it to normal mode at 3.6Ghz for the moment until I find a solution.
I give it 8/10 because I think I can fix the problem. If not, my real grade would be 5-6/10.Review automatically translated -

Fast and efficient
What about this CPU...
I came from an i7-6700K, which was holding my RTX 3080 back quite a bit, but I didn't know it was that bad. Once I changed the processor (and the motherboard), it was all over. Everything is incredibly smooth in ultra/extreme 1440p ultra-wide, without excessive heating (with a Corsair 2x120mm AIO, it goes up to 70°C maximum), in a great silence.
As for productivity, I work on Linux (backend development) with Docker containers all over the place, and whatever I do, the system follows in all circumstances.
I was a bit dubious about the gain (compared to the astronomical price), but the use of the system has removed all my regrets.Review automatically translated -

Opinions on Core I7-12700K
Installed on the Asus ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI motherboard, I had no problems with the functioning. Processor recognized, operational and very reactive at the application level.
