DON'T BUY the i9 12900K! Intel i7 13700k Review #creators

I paid $238 USD for my I7-12700K for my Z790 cause my wallet gave me permission so I have no problem living with these differences. 🖥

now: don't buy the i9 13900k! 👉intel i7 14700k

hey this info is good for me thanks for the help i am getting ready to make my new pic soon this year and this helps a lot thanks !!

Fr bro i get rtx2060 used like new 200 dollar + and intell i9 12900k used 370 dollar only,and i get 700w psu,asus motherboard,16gbram,500gb ssd,2tb hdd,rgb fan and casing set,all total is 610 dollar only

i really like how you showing power sonsumption at 100% utilization because i running programs which can do that if you desire (some computing boring stuff) and that is important when i choosing PSU for my setup

Fast forward to now when the 12900k IS cheaper. Amazon lists the 12900k for almost 10% less than the 13700k, and the Microcenter bundles are 25% cheaper! None of these tests show 25% lower performance, on any metric. Does this video have any relevance now that the relative prices have completely swapped?

oops too late

I bought the 12900k... whoops

@thetechnotice i am a 3d architecture visualizer works in 3ds max corona and vray.. Pls tell me should i buy amd or intel?

What about KS version?

Pitty you did not compare the 13700k with the 13600k for best value for productivity and less with last gen..

AMD prices are way too high wtf

12900k was on sale for 299usd so I got that instead

Wow you're right. Thanks for the heads up!

I just build myself a new rig with a 13700KF a week ago and cant be happier. Upgrading from a 10700k and gained 30+ fps in world of warcraft which is the only game i play. Only thing I tweaked is turning on xmp to have the ram work at the advertising speed. No overclocking yet. I roll on a noctua nh-d15 and actually used a thermalright antibending plate. My temps are reaching 65-70c while playing. Not sure if temps are ok but i do plan to overclock abit like i always do but i read some people say its not necessary with this processor. Will investigate on it soon.

Thanks!!!

Just did a prize check AMD 7900x is higher prize set then I7 13700.
AMD says they are cheaper, but not today they are.
And dont ever use over 2 Ram sticks you will never get the true benefits out off it.
But 65 Watt for box version and K version 125 watt. Save energy.

I upgraded from a z97 Mark S DDR3 with i7 4770k at 4.8Ghz to a Z690-F (Might seem expensive but what is cheap nowheredays) with an i7 13700k and it is a incredibly huge difference even tough i was still able to properly play all games with the RX5700XT and the old setup. The i7 13700k will also be more then enough for at least 6-7 years or even more with a good motherboard and DDR5 Ram. The performance increased by at ca 5-15% depending on the game because of CPU bottleneck which is now GPU bottleneck because of the overkill CPU. But keep in mind that you should go for a Z-series and not the B-series because the B-series motherboard might seem good and cheap but you are not able to undervolt or overclock in with the B-series. In that case you should go for a non "K" version because you can't enjoy the proper unlocked version of Intel CPU's wich are the "K" ones. Buy cheap buy twice is very common in the PC world. The Z790 might also get cheaper in future for more DDR5 frequenzy but that doesn't really make a huge differenz. For people who only play games the Ryzen 7 7800x3d might also be a better choise because it delivers i9 13900k performance for nearly about the price of the i7 13700k but only in games because of the huge 3d cache. Both are defenetly a future proof choise :)

hi - and thanx! idle consumption is VERY interesting .. pc is - depending on use - on average mostly running in idle for @ least 50% of the time or even more. so this is a really important point.

my i7 13700k is around 28000 score for cr23 multi core. why is it like this?

Can get the 12900k cheaper now than 13700k though

You go way beyond the standard reviews available, much appreciated! Very useful info on the the average power consumption. I have the Ryzen 9 5900x, and use Lightroom a lot, with a lot of passive use--big exports. It is very good, but sometimes I'd like better. I will likely upgrade to the i7 13700K in near future.

Sporting a 13700k with the fury beast DDR5 64gb 5200 and it's an absolute beast paired with the Z690-I ROG STRIX from Asus. Those 24 threads are a joy to have. i'm using 2 x 990 Pro 2TB in both PCIe Gen4 M.2 slots.

I was going to get a 13700k but changed my mind when I found out about the motherboard flaw that made all 13th gen intel cpu's have poor contact with cpu coolers resulting in cpu temps that are over 95c. Went with a AMD 5700x instead since it was only $188

Hey! So I’m building my first setup . (This is my first and starting setup) I got the asus z690 prime-a motherboard. I7-13000k CPU and Vengance Ram ddr5 5600Mhz C36. So the setup doesn’t boot it shows DRAM yellow led. I’m trying to solve the issue and wanted to know if you have any info. that is it the bios update problem that it doesn’t recognise the 13gen cpu? Or is something else. I would be happy for any information or knowledge about this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.

Would the i7 13700k be good enough for obs streaming while gaming?

13700k was perfect for me. I went from 3rd gen 3820 and a cheap used 3930k to 13700k. I carried over a 1080ti and a noctua d15, using a thermalright frame now. I'm still just amazed at what it can do, and how much control that I have. Out of box R23 was 30001 and it hit 97c. I have barely messed with anything, but my cpu got to 5.4 all and 5.8 on the best 2 cores without adding voltage.

Temps were a little too crazy for me, I just wanted to hit 31k in R23 really fast. Im just now messing around with a nice undervolt and I feel like this is how they should be. I lost barely any performance even in synthetic benchmarks with a -.190 voltage offset. 5.3 on 6 cores, 5.4 on the best 2. Dropped from 97 in one run to 81c after the 10 minute throttle test.

It really seems like every single chip can significantly reduce the voltage offset and run the same clocks, I just wonder why they're set on kill. I mean it pretty much requires high end liquid cooling to not throttle. Manufacturers are just in a race to cherry pick numbers from their own set of benchmarks so they can put them on a bar graph without any labels or something.

I7-13700k is beast for gamers

So far and I having a lot of luck with the i7 13700K, Out of the Box it was OK but from everything that I read it's meant to be overclocked so I tried undervolting and overclocking it and the temperatures and performance are way worse now and I cannot get it fixed it still runs fast but it's not better than my previous processor so a waste of money as of right now

i got the 13700k for 330$ coming from a 9700k is INSANE

I got the 13700kf I only game and do CPU work. On a MSI z690 was able to put it at 5.6ghz all P and 4.5ghz E core. That’s max it can do without de lid. I was able to hit 5.7-5.8 but it needs a de lid for that. Amazing performance and when I’m gaming it’s only pulling 40-70watts. Full OC load at 1.28v I’m pulling 240 watts about 100w less than my 5.3 ghz 11900kf at full load.

Don’t buy the i7 buy the i5

Should I go for i7 for Blender 3D?

bought for the same reason, so far very happy

I really like the idea of idle power consumption being significantly lower than ryzen. However, when rendering a feature length film, with full color grading and vfx we should be looking at overall energy used vs time taken to render. The 125W max power consumption of a ryzen 5950x seems more reasonable than the nearly 250W max power draw from the 13700k in this case. Though we limit ourselves by not utilizing DDR5. It’s really a matter of what you can get for a certain deal. I went ryzen am4 back in January because ddr4 ram and motherboards were less expensive. Choosing your cpu is definitely based on scenario and workflow/load. Personally I’m happy with my 5950x work rig for the years to come. I have. 12400f in my gaming rig, and I think if I ever wanted to upgrade cpu, I’d try to grab the 13700k at a good used price.

I'm thinking about upgrading to a 13700k and wondering if the asus z690p will do the trick or should I spend more and go with a 790? Any thoughts are welcome thanks!

just ordered it todayy. cant wait to get it deliverrred to meeee. damn my typing ~~~~

Me watching this after I got a 12900KF for Christmas 😐
Edit: With that said at the time my dad bought it, the 12900KF was $20 less than the 13700KF and for some reason thought I already had a 12th gen i7 in my PC when I had the 12400.

I picked mine up two days ago for 300.

Thanks for sharing basic idea of what is to choose for my new PC. Since 13700kf is cheaper than 13700k, but 13700k perform better than 13700kf. Is it worth it to choose 13700k rather than 13700kf in terms of performance different? FYI I want to use the new PC for Blender and animation in UE5.

I chose the 13700K for my new build for a host of reasons, many of them covered here. Since I do not do "drop-in" upgrades on the same board, Socket 1700 being end of life had no bearing. Another reason: I suffered through the teething issues of AM4 and chose to let others Beta test AM5.

Good info! Besides price, any advantage to getting the 13700k vs 13900k?

would you consider the 13900k ahead of the 13700k far enough to justify the 200EUR+ price difference?!
Because it seems that the PUGET Benchmarks indicate that the difference is reeaaaaally slightly and shouldn´t be felt that hard, or am I wrong here?

Excellent presentation! And based on your presentation and recommendation I purchased Intel i7 13700. But could you kindly tell me why your are using Asus Pro Art Z690 board instead of the Asus Pro Art Z790 boatd? Thanks again and continued success to you and your channel.

The 13700K is $379 at Microcenter and they'll give you $20 off the on motherboard of your choice if need a motherboard

Intel Core i7 13700 is $379 at Microcenter and $20 off the motherboard of your choice if you need one..... In your eye AMD! ..... I have nothing but respect for AMD. They're a tough little company that's been giving Intel hell lately to the point where they're no longer sitting on their hands releasing incremental and insignificantly better cpu's.

Love my 13700k. Undervolted to 1.25vcore and scoring 30k in CB23. Destroys my previous 12700k

I just got the i7 1300k as you recommended, along with all the upgrades for the do it all computer on your video, but I got 4 sticks of Corsar Vengance 32 GB DDR5 5200MHz. Will this work ok for video editing?. I have seen on another of your videos that it can be a big problem, I wonder if with this CPU will work fine, or I should stay with 64 on RAM
