Solution

Yeah, I read that article. It said liquid cooling systems are a good choice for high TDP CPUs like the 12700. Have you guys tried any liquid cooling solutions?

That's interesting, @Reeznov43. I'm not very familiar with liquid cooling systems but it sounds appealing. What do you think about them compared to air coolers?

I've used an air cooler for my previous builds and never had any issues. But for a high TDP CPU like the 12700, I might consider going with a liquid cooler this time around.

@blackfyre89, did you find any particular brand or model to be reliable? I'm looking for something that will handle the heat of the 12700 without breaking the bank.

Thanks for all the input, guys. Based on your experience and the TechReviewer article What Is the TDP of the Core i7-12700 CPU?, it sounds like a liquid cooler might be worth considering for my new build.
