Review: A quick studio upgrade - I installed it in an LGA1700 motherboard with a decent tower cooler. That setup matters, since this processor can draw more power under heavy loads, and I would not pair it with a tiny cooler. Once I had the system running, I opened a large layered client file while exporting a batch of mockups. I could keep checking references and adjusting type instead of waiting for the export to finish first. That was the moment I felt glad I chose it. The unlocked multiplier is nice if I decide to tune things later, though I am running it at stock settings for now. One thing to remember: KF chips have no integrated graphics, so you need a separate GPU. For my studio build, it has been quick and responsive, and it handles the mix of design tasks I throw at it. Review: Works well with gaming computer - The Intel Core i7-12700KF is an outstanding processor for gaming, streaming, and productivity. With 12 cores and boost speeds up to 5.0 GHz, it handles demanding games and multitasking with ease while staying competitive with newer CPUs. It’s unlocked for overclocking, works with both DDR4 and DDR5 platforms, and offers excellent value for high-performance PC builds. The only downside is that it runs best with a strong cooler since it can get fairly warm under heavy workloads. ## Features - Intel Core i7 3.60 GHz processor offers more cache space and the hyper-threading architecture delivers high performance for demanding applications with better onboard graphics and faster turbo boost - The Socket LGA-1700 socket allows processor to be placed on the PCB without soldering - 11 MB L2 and 25 MB L3 cache offers supreme performance for computation intensive apps - Intel 7 Architecture enables improved performance per watt and micro architecture makes it power-efficient ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09FXKHN7M | | Best Sellers Rank | #27 in Computer CPU Processors | | Brand | Intel | | Built-In Media | Intel Core i7-12700KF | | CPU Manufacturer | Intel | | CPU Model | Core i7 | | CPU Socket | LGA 1700 | | CPU Speed | 3.6 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 25 | | Cooling Method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,344 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00735858498982, 00735858498999, 04054842419953, 05032037234047 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 7.09"L x 7.09"W | | Item Type Name | Processor | | Item Weight | 80 g | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Mfr Part Number | BX8071512700KF | | Model Number | BX8071512700KF | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Platform | Windows | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Core Count | 12 | | Processor Count | 1 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 20 | | Processor Series | Core i7 | | Processor Socket | LGA 1700 | | Processor Speed | 3.6 GHz | | Secondary Cache | 20 MB | | Software Update Supported to Date | unknown | | UPC | 735858498999 735858498982 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Box: 3 Year Limited Tray: 1 Year Limited | | Wattage | 125 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU Manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU Model:** Core i7 - **CPU Socket:** LGA 1700 - **CPU Speed:** 3.6 GHz ## Images ![Core™ i7-12700KF Desktop Processor 12 (8P+4E) Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AqEkc2BuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: can use 12700kf without gpu to plug monitor?** A: NO IF U WANT TO USE THE 12 GEN WITHOUT GPU YOU SHOULD BUY (12700K ) WITHOUT (F) . (F) MEANING NO GPU IN THE CPU **Q: Will this work on a z370 sli/ac motherboard?** A: You need an H670 or Z690 at the moment, z370 is three generations behind, it's also an 1151 socket not 1700 **Q: I have the (relatively new) hp envy 10th generation intel core i7 (2.9 ghz, 8 core processor). would this cpu be compatible and simple to change out?** A: These new chips (12Gen Intel) use socket 1700 I think your HP with that 10th gen CPU uses a socket 1200 so they are not interchangeable. **Q: Does it have a big difference in power with 13700kf?** A: Hi there. Thank you for your question. With every new generation, Intel's aim is to provide new technologies and better performance.

What reassures me most is that it doesn't get very hot during normal use. 🙂🛠️ ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i7-12700KF Desktop Processor 12 (8P+4E) Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi LGA 1700(Intel 14th,12th &13th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,4xM.2 Slots,16+1 DrMOS,WiFi 6,2.5Gb LAN,Front USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C,Thunderbolt 4(USB4),Aura RGB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/372868015-core-i7-12700kf-desktop-processor-12-8p-4e-cores-up](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/372868015-core-i7-12700kf-desktop-processor-12-8p-4e-cores-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
