discussion Air Cooler for i7-12700K

[lman]

Hello all,

Any recommendation for an air cooler for Intel i7-12700K ? And do we need any adapter kit to make it fit with LGA1700 ? I have a Noctua tower cooler used to cool my i9-9900K/LGA1151, not sure if this will work.

Thanks

Refer to this chart.

If going with air, then you could look at either of these:

Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo
Scythe FUMA 2

Steve did a review of the 34 Esports a few days ago and while most of it is on a lower power you should still be fine on the higher powered 12700K.

I don't know if you have the room, but i have an NH-D15s on my 12900k and it works great.
