Believe it or not, but under that huge cooler is the Intel Core i7-12700K processor. While I intend to later upgrade to discrete graphics, initially I am using the GPU that is internal to the processor. It was satisfying when I threw the switch the first time and everything just worked. The GPU was powerful enough to run some virtual world software that I use at a good frame rate. I believe I made the right choice in this processor.
For the performance you get, this chip will last for a few years and handles games excellently. The 12700k does this perfectly. Be sure to get a Z690 board to unlock the OC capabilities of this CPU.
Perfect quality. Everything was as advertised.
I bought four of these to upgrade PC's around my house. Blazing fast runs cool. Be wary of the coolers you buy.
The arctic freeze 360 will destroy this chip, save yourself the time. I learned the hard way
