Best CPU for Gaming - Refleckz - Jul 13, 2022
As the title says I am looking to buy a CPU strictly for gaming shoot me the best one you guys know of.

Intel Core i9 11900K, there's also a prime day deal for this.

if price doesn't matter then i9-12900KS, but you need water cooling, it didn't work well for me even with noctua nhd15

I have a 5950X and while it’s great at gaming I also managed to play with a 12700k pc and that thing is a monster in video games. The 12900k is quite appealing but the power it can draw with the heat it can pump out makes it not as worthwhile for the 3-8% performance increase in games.
So as of right now 12700K (AMD 5800X3D is also good) has my vote. If you have money and don’t care then probably the 12900KS.
I sticking with AMD 5950X and I’m looking forward to their 7th gen.

+1 for this suggestion. Even beats Intel's flagships in many titles. Hands down the best at moment for gaming.

I don't think you need much. I'm using a 10700F, no issues in gaming since installation.

Don't you literally have a 5900x already? lol
If anything, get a better cooler. That 212 EVO is already shitting itself trying to cool that 5900x.

This is presently the objectively correct response based on benchmarks.

Why would he use such a shitty cooler on a 5900X lol. Just get a Noctua DH15s or whatever.

Intel Core i7 12700K is the best combination of price and power.
