SajinNot me. Still waiting to drop a 5000 series threadripper into my rig. =)ย Plus I'm at 4k, so a faster cpu isn't helping me out at this point.

GloR1ouS_Right now its like the reviewers are trying to get us excited before the reviews actually drop. They cant actually talk about numbers yet but the overall excitement seems really positive. I like the idea of efficiency cores making the overall windows experience a lot better with the hand offs.
Nereus Unless there's some kind of spectacular improvement over the 11900K, then I see little point for myself, plus it would mean getting a new motherboard for the new socket. Technically it's 24 cores for the 12900K vs 16 cores for the 11900K, but they are utilized differently. Real world benchmarks will be interesting. I don't think it will make much difference for gaming, but rendering and other multi-core intensive tasks will be interesting. Also will be interesting to see how hot the 12900K gets (which may in turn impact overclocking ability) - certainly the 11900K runs very hot, so the 7nm lithography on the 12900K may help. DDR5 compatible too - lots of new stuff going on = lots of variables to impact performance. I'm not going to be an early adopter, I can say that much.

Very little OC overhead and runs pretty darn hot. I got more out of 10th gen. That being said, the memory overclocking on 11th gen was better. But overall I'm hoping 12th gen is an improvement on 11th. But as you said, likely little impact on gaming/daily use, but may be more fun to push the clocks. I'm willing to dive in.

I'm willing to dive in.True, OC on my 11900K is not exactly awe-inspiring - on water and best I can get is 5.3GHz on all cores seemingly stable on Prime95. Any cores clocked higher than that, even if I graduate the clocks down on other cores, still is not stable under full load. 5.3GHz on all cores runs pretty damn hot under Prime95 too. Still playing around with it when I have time.
CraptacularOneI think everyone here will be "shocked" to learn I've ordered a 12900K, ASUS RoG Strix Z690-F and 32GB DDR5 5200Mhz Corsair Dominator RAM.

I can barely hit 5.2 on 2 cores on water in it's own loop and I'm pumping some voltage in there. 5.3 on a single core blue screens almost immediately.

I'm holding out for G.Skill. I figure by the time the Dark comes out, I should be able to land a 12900K and the memory. That and my Optimus block for the 3090 KP should helpfully arrive, so I can do a full loop rebuild. Yea?
CraptacularOne*snip*2) and perhaps more importantly, all the ASUS boards have elongated offset mounting holes that allow all current gen blocks and coolers work no adapters needed.
NereusCraptacularOne*snip*2) and perhaps more importantly, all the ASUS boards have elongated offset mounting holes that allow all current gen blocks and coolers work no adapters needed. That's helpful. Also EVGA boards aren't expected until the end of the year, and if the Z590 is anything to go by, that delay could venture well into 2022.
Nikos4LifeJust bought 12900K, upgrading from 9900K. But funny thing I can not find any motherboards at all ๐คฏ.Is there any release date for the Dark model? I would love to pair my 3090KP with it. Second option:Asus Rog Z690 Extreme if it is possible to find ๐Third option:DDR4 board so I could use my 3800CL14 kits and have some fun ๐ PS: As others members here I am still waiting for Optimus KP waterblock.

My guess is that it may not be available until early next year.ย ASUS are usually the first available - their release date is 4th November on Newegg - multiple models.ย
