Intel Core i7-12700KF LGA 1700 CPU - 12-Core, up to 5.0GHz, Without Cooler

Description

Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12th-generation Alder Lake desktop processor for LGA 1700 motherboards. Its hybrid layout combines eight Performance-cores and four Efficient-cores, providing 12 cores and 20 threads for compiling, media creation, demanding games and simultaneous desktop tasks.

The Performance-cores run at a 3.6GHz base frequency (2.7GHz for Efficient-cores), while Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 can reach 5.0GHz on suitable workloads. An unlocked multiplier enables CPU tuning on compatible boards. The processor also has 25MB Intel Smart Cache and supports PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 connections.

Memory compatibility spans DDR4-3200 or DDR5-4800, depending on the motherboard model; the two standards are not interchangeable on a single board. This KF model does not contain integrated graphics, so a separate graphics card is required for display output. Verify the motherboard's supported CPU list and BIOS version before installing.

Intel specifies 125W Processor Base Power and 190W Maximum Turbo Power, which should be considered when choosing cooling and a power supply. This is the boxed retail version with manufacturer ordering code BX8071512700KF; no CPU cooler is supplied. Install a compatible LGA 1700 cooler and allow for case airflow.

    After dispatch, the delivery time depends on the selected delivery service and the courier.

    Can I return my product?

    Yes, returns are accepted in accordance with our return policy and your statutory rights.

    Returned items should be complete, securely packed, and returned with all original accessories and packaging where possible. Once the item is received, it will be inspected before any refund or replacement is approved.

    For CPUs and other delicate electronic components, we check for physical or installation-related damage, including bent pins, damaged contact pads, socket damage, thermal paste contamination, missing parts, or other signs of incorrect installation, misuse, or handling damage.

    If the item has been damaged after delivery or used beyond what is necessary to inspect it, this may affect refund eligibility, and a deduction or refusal may apply where permitted by law.

    This does not affect your statutory rights if the item is faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose.

    What can I do if my item (or part of it) is damaged?

    If your item arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible and send clear photos of the product, packaging, and damaged part.

    Please do not install, use, repair, or modify the item before contacting us. We will review the information and advise the next steps.

    Damage caused after delivery, including incorrect installation, bent CPU pins, damaged contact pads, socket damage, misuse, or other handling damage, may affect refund or replacement eligibility.

    This does not affect your statutory rights.
