12-Core Alder Lake Desktop CPU

The Intel Core i7-12700K is a 12-core desktop processor with eight performance cores and four efficient cores. It runs at a 3.6 GHz base frequency and includes Intel UHD Graphics 770. The chip fits the LGA 1700 socket and has a 125 W base power rating with a 190 W maximum turbo power.

OEM Tray Requires Separate Cooler

This unit ships as an OEM tray processor without a retail box or bundled cooler. You must supply a compatible LGA 1700 cooling solution rated for at least 125 W base and 190 W turbo heat output. Installation follows the standard LGA 1700 mounting procedure; the main risk is using a cooler with insufficient capacity or incorrect mounting pressure.

Verify Motherboard And Power Before Order

Confirm your motherboard uses the LGA 1700 socket and carries a BIOS version that supports 12th generation Alder Lake CPUs. Check that your power supply can deliver the 190 W maximum turbo power alongside other system components. The processor includes 25 MB L3 cache and 12 MB L2 cache and supports Windows 11.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 12-core 3.6 GHz processor is running correctly after installation?

Enter the BIOS to verify all 12 cores are detected at 3.6 GHz base clock, then run a CPU stress test to confirm the 125 W base power and 190 W maximum turbo power are reached under load.

What is included with the OEM BX8071512700K and what must I purchase separately?

The package contains only the processor; a compatible LGA 1700 cooler must be bought separately because no cooling device is included.

Should I choose the 12-core version with 25 MB L3 cache and UHD Graphics 770 or a different capacity?

This model provides 12 cores (8 performance + 4 efficient), 25 MB L3 cache, 12 MB L2 cache and Intel UHD Graphics 770; select it if those specifications match your workload requirements.
