I thought I’d need a 12700K for my build but had to settle for 12100. Got it 1 year ago.

This thing runs everything I throw at it and gives me at least 60FPS.

Even heavily moded Stalker Anomaly gives me reasonable performance.

I switched sides after about 12 years of using AMD CPUs (a 12700k was cheaper to build than 5800X), and this mini beast was a very very good first impression of Intel for me.

    Are you aware that a cheap common mobo like Asrock b760m pg riptide can overclock this CPU and in my experience it should have no problem running at 5Ghz all cores ? Then it is even sweeter deal. Just note that when overclocking this CPU on these special boards while safe you lose Sleep in Windows.
