The intel Core i7 (Chinese: Core i7, nickname: Love Wife) processor is a prefix for intel's 64-bit quad-core processor introduced in 2008. It is built on the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture to replace the Intel Core2 processor that was the credit of its predecessor and continues to support the x86-64 instruction set.
Intel's task for the Core i7 is to target mid-to-high-end users, with excellent performance and more acceptable prices. Core i7 has been developed since Bloomfield (2008), literally 12 generations, and the memory of 5 generations seems to have only produced a notebook version (if there is any omission, I hope to correct it).

The 12th generation Core finally ended the 14nm era, the process technology stepped into the new era of 10nm, and the CPU pin was changed to LGA 1700. The all-new Alder Lake architecture introduces large and small kernel designs for the first time on the X86 platform. Fully evolved I/O specifications with support for the latest DDR5 memory as well as PCIe 5.0. The nmR specifications have been upgraded to UHD 770. The i7-12700K and i7-12700KF are all assembled.
I7-12700K and i7-12700KF leapfrog fighting capabilities: Based on a hybrid architecture based on the new 10nm ESF process, the new LGA1700 package interface is used. The TDP thermal design consumes 125W of power and does not have a built-in kernel display due to the designation F suffix. According to official data, Alder Lake's IPC is 19% better than the previous generation, and the performance is lifted by the previous generation's flagship i9 11900K
With a design of 8 large cores (P core, performance core, main single core performance) + 4 small cores (E core, performance core, main multi-thread optimization), a total of 12 cores and 20 threads, the maximum frequency of the performance core is 5.0Ghz, the maximum frequency of the performance core is 3.8GHz, and it is equipped with 25MB tertiary cache.
The 12th generation processor interface is replaced by the LGA 1700, which is a full 500 more contacts than the 11th generation LGA 1200. Therefore, the 12th generation Core must be equipped with the motherboard of the new 600 series chipset, and the clip of the heatsink must also use a special size that supports LGA 1700. The i7-12700K/KF series can reach the highest frequency of 5.0GHz, support 16 PCIe5.0 high-speed buses, backward compatible with mainstream PCIe buses, memory can support DDR4 and DDR5 generations at the same time.
Which is the "three-year box" or "three-year loose film"? Where is the "three-year scatter" sacred? It is understood that the so-called "three-year loose film" is a typical store behavior, intel official commitment to three-year warranty is only the genuine "three-year boxed" version. "Three-year loose film" should be the product of the brand machine, the current situation of the difficulty of the graphics card has improved slightly, and even the brand machine channel can not get the physical card (or the physical card is used as bait to sell the whole machine) After getting the whole machine, the graphics card is taken away at a higher price, and the remaining hardware flows into the retail market, and the "three-year loose film" came into being. In fact, this kind of "three-year loose film" is no different from no warranty.
In summary, Coler brother believes that the Intel platform still needs to buy a genuine boxed processor with a three-year warranty, which is also a peace of mind. The reason why this platform recommended this time with 12700KF with B660 actually does not need to be explained, although B660 can not exceed the CPU, and in fact, 12700KF is really the existence of manual super, and B660 is also able to 100% play 12700KF performance, not to mention can also be smaller than the memory, why not enjoy it.
12700KF performance indicators are obvious, a total of 12 cores 20 threads, P core reference frequency 3.6GHz, E core 2.7GHz, the highest turbo frequency up to 5.0GHz, plus 25MB high-speed three slow, any game is also enough to cope with the existence, the only thing to pay attention to is to strengthen the heat dissipation, it is best to directly on the water.
MSI MAG B660M BAZOOKA DDR4 motherboard, the younger brother of the single brother, this guy is more pragmatic than the brother mortar production, in the CPU power supply to maintain the arsenal series consistent pragmatic attitude 12 + 1 + 1 pure digital power supply, a comprehensive aluminum large-area heat dissipation module can ensure the power supply requirements of the 12 generations of all CPUs.
Green and black interlude set of four DDR4 specifications dual-channel memory slots, the user only needs to insert the memory sleeve into the same color slot or four full to open the dual channel mode, so as to obtain a double memory bandwidth, here for example, a single channel is equivalent to a lane, dual channel is two lanes, the same time can pass the vehicle is doubled, that is to say, the data throughput of the dual channel is twice that of the single channel. The 660M BAZOOKA motherboard also offers two 16X graphics card slots and two M.2 slots, and the expansion capacity is not inferior to the ATX board.
The video card recommended here is RTX3060Ti 8G, Yingzhong brand, it is the lowest price RTX3060Ti I found in e-commerce, although the card bar has a lot of low-cost card screenshots Bo eyeballs, but in fact, there is no picture, pure nonsense! Even if sanctions against Russia may lead to narrower out-of-circulation channels for graphics cards, the improvement of the environment in which single graphics cards are out of stock will still take time to appear, and the RTX3060Ti is still the most deserving gaming graphics card at present.
The Viking Ship's Avengers memory is still quite cost-effective, pure black aluminum vest, making it look very powerful, coupled with the design of its low vest, so that it is more friendly to more compact chassis installation, its frequency, timing does not need to be too entangled, small super is also acceptable.
M.2 high-speed solid state has become an indispensable game tool for everyone, and the performance improvement it brings is really the existence of "using it and not going back". Even if it is a cost-effective version like the Black Competition M390 1TB, although it is not worth mentioning in terms of performance to maintain a continuous read and write break of 3000MB/s in front of PCIe4.0, its price advantage is still very obvious, with 1500 to buy a PCIe4.0 1TB, you can buy two pieces of Black Competition M390 1TB, the doubling of this capacity is real.
The MSI 110R Krypton Gun 2 chassis has almost become a must-blow, because I have really used it to install machines for many players, and no one has said that the chassis is not OK so far. Double-sided tempered glass modeling, can observe the hardware working conditions in real time, optimized the main cabin design, can better solve the problem of hardware heat accumulation, front compatible with 360 cold row, top support 240 cold row, super 300mm long graphics card compatibility is also very easy, the material can be used as a bench.
MSI MPG A650GF gold medal full module power supply is also commonly used to dare to blow products, rated 650W casual is also enough to play this set of 12700KF, DC-DC's advanced power supply scheme with the all-Japan capacitor components to support, its power supply capacity is not to worry at all, full flat wiring is more conducive to chassis beautification, 10 years warranty completely worry-free.
12700KF has the highest turbo frequency of 5GHz, the comprehensive calculation of its game power should be more than 200W, so Corogo believes that direct water cooling should be a wise move, this CoreLiquid 240R 240mm integrated water cooling I have installed for no less than 5 friends, basically 11 generations and 12 generations of i7 in use, so I dare to blow so safely, its pump head separation design can make the cold head of the micro-water channel space larger, greatly improving the heat exchange efficiency.
As for the MAG274QRF monitor, it is not necessary to repeat it, a 27-inch standard game Donkey Kong, 2560×1440 resolution with 165Hz and 1ms GMG response, absolute game standard parameters, three-sided micro-border is more conducive to the layout of the three-screen state, multi-function bracket easy to achieve high and low, pitch and rotation, is the existence of typical game tools.
Next blow a set of i7-12700K platform, the specifications of this platform is obviously much higher than the previous set, then the direct result is that the value is also much higher, but since it is the highest version of the 12th generation of i7, more cost on the pay that is also understandable, Z690 and 3070Ti super dragon combination with Weigang Longyao D50 RGB light strip suit, naturally is a set of all-round platform that has the same look.
i7-12700K, the king of the 12th generation i7, has one more UHD770 core display than 12700KF, which is usually not used in this platform, but as the last line of defense, the existence of UHD770 can come in handy when the graphics card has some problems.
MPG Z690 EDGE TI WIFI DDR4 Blade Titanium Motherboard A Z690 backbone motherboard, it does not have the option of higher specifications of DDR5 memory is very wise, of course, MSI is Z690 EDGE TI WIFI DDR5 Blade Titanium Motherboard version, but DDR5 memory is indeed not competitive in terms of price and specifications, at first I really thought it would be 64GB capacity to start, which I almost believed!
The specifications of Weigang's Longyao D50 RGB memory are indeed much higher than the Avengers of the Pirate Ship, and the weight of a single strip is almost heavier than a pair of Avengers, which shows that the heat sink of the Longyao D50 is much thicker, even if it is a high frequency of 3600MHz, its heat generation is still suppressed steadily, which is enough to explain the problem.
If you play on this platform, Corogo only recommends you to buy the 3070Ti Super Dragon. First, it is definitely a high-end flagship card, with the smallest premium, and its supply is relatively stable compared to mid-range cards. Second, the performance of the super dragon is completely sufficient, and even the LHR lock computing power does not affect its game performance at all. After all, the budget for buying a 30 series mid-range graphics card is also above 4000, instead of buying a 3060 12G chicken rib card with more than 4000, it is better to add more than a thousand direct 3070Ti super dragons, which is definitely better than the 3060 game experience is not a level.
MSI M480 SPATIUM HS Black Racing Removable Hot Sheet Edition 1TB SSD This solid state I have been using, so there is a blowable capital. His speed is just like the nominal, it is indeed 7000MB/s to start, which is also the speed value of the pcIe4.0 high-spec version, and its heatsink is not only easy to disassemble and install, but also high! We have tested in the actual game that the SSD can basically be stabilized within 55 ° C, which is already a conscience temperature for the high-speed disk.
This CoreLiquid 360R 360mm integrated water cooling is currently very cost-effective, with a standard cold head and three 120mm PMW temperature control fans are equipped with RGB lighting effects, which can be coordinated with MSI MysticLight lighting software to call up the light color they need. Its heat dissipation efficiency is naturally stronger than that of the 240R, which is more than a 120mm fan.
The combination of MSI 100R Blade Chassis and MPG A850GF Gold Medal Full Module is naturally a highlight in this configuration, the 100R Blade chassis has an optimized large space box, coupled with 360R water cooling, I believe that 12700K will be very cool in it, MPG A850GF Gold Medal full module to drive 3080Ti is not a problem, not to mention the blessing of MSI's 10-year warranty, people have to say that this set of electromechanical value is worth it.
MSI Optix MAG343CQR Luna 34-inch gaming big stripe fish monitor, 3440×1440 resolution is more delicate than the traditional 1080P screen, using a 21:9 case VA screen, the effective screen is increased by 30%, equipped with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, the screen is smoother. Support HDR, higher dynamic light rendering, more realistic picture, support Adaptive Sync, effectively reduce screen tearing.
The rear RGB light ring is more playable, and the mysticlight glare system supports the synchronous hardware lighting effect to highlight your gaming personality. It is equipped with a rotating lift base, 2 × HDMI (2.0b), 1 × Display Port (1.4a), 1 × audio interface, and Kensington lock. The gaming monitor should have the features it has
This time the actual main blow 12th generation Core i7 two flagship models, in fact, to put it bluntly, these two models are simply inseparable in performance, the firepower blessing is the same as a lot of all of them, in fact, it is to highlight intel's domineering performance that has never been willing to be tolerated. And Coke Brother naturally hopes that DDR5 memory will return to the human world quickly; I hope that PCIe5.0 can come with NVIDIA RTX4000! Let's see another leap forward in gaming hardware.
