Good deal, but I'd prefer to spend a little more for the Tomahawk motherboard.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Co...bo.4549365 $350 combo

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32...6820374369 $105 for slightly slower, but lower latency, RAM. You could also buy the ram featured in OP's combo.

$455 total, so $18 more for bigger heatsinks, 2 more USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a better audio chipset, and LED power headers.

If you have an MC near you, it's hard to argue with that unless you really want the game.

My nearest MC is 6 hours away though, so...this is a no-brainer for me.

Good luck getting 6400 cl32 to work on this board consistently. 12700k IMC can be very RNG.

DDR5 6000 CL36 Samsung b-die couldn't hold stable in OCCT, but a random 10 layer JEDEC 5600 cl46 Hynix A die kit will do 6000 cl30-36-36-76 without much issue lol


Latest bios seems to have fixed my issues (but still less stable with DDR5 samsung bdie, maybe my kit isn't great.. idk why corsair used 8 layer PCB's on those).

I'm assuming this CPU is much better than my current one?

Decent deal, I might have bit if it was an ITX combo. Still running OC 8700K gang.

Yes, I have a i7-6700K. Compared to the 12700K, 200% increase in single-core and 300% in multi-core. Geekbench [geekbench.com] results. I know it's not comprehensive but should give a general idea.

Seeing these deals make me feel like I got shafted when I upgraded to Alder Lake. I did buy when it first released so I have used it for a year and a half, but these deals are less than half what I paid. Platform costs never drop this far this quickly. I guess that is what competition does.

Yeah, current gen performance doesn't make me regret building my 12700k system last year but plummeting pricing of cpu/mobo/ram/ssd has. I had to go with DDR4 back then since DDR5 was too expensive.

Competition plus supply returning to normal and demand dropping off with the end of lockdowns caused the current pricing, I wouldn't even describe current pricing like this as normal as before covid we weren't regularly getting cpu/mobo/ram deals like this.

I'm still running a 4770K (w/ 32GB DDR3), and this is starting to get tempting. Since multiple people were asking about their X700K part, I figured this would be a useful comparison. I know Passmark isn't perfect, but it's quick and easy.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/comp...-i7-12700K

The single thread increases are what mainly concern me. For a decade they've been marginal but Alder Lake was a huge uplift. They still aren't double my CPU from 2013 until looking at a 13700K or better, but it's still tempting with other components dropping in cost recently.

i had this mobo, the pch (chipset) runs hot, tried editing power settings in bios and that (maybe) bricked it.

the audio chip is also 10 years old. never buying msi again, on my shitlist with Asrock

I thought this too. Had this been a 12900 then I'd bite perhaps
They also have a 12900 combo with the same mobo for around $435 all in.

I think it was missing the ddr5 ram carts though.

My son is wanting to build a gaming PC and I haven't kept up with processor specs over the years. Is the I7-12700K pretty good? Paired with a decent video card, will he be able to play CS Go, Fortnite, and those kinds of games with good graphics settings?
