Absolutely Not. Hyper 212 is for a 75W cpus and under. 100W if really want to push it. 12700k double that, 150w and can easily push 200w+. Are you trying to stay under a certain budget?

I understand I did more research after I bought it ofc I would like to stay $130 and below if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 25, 2023 Toms says Thermalright FC140 is the bestestest for that CPU. I know it can take Intel wattage with 7nm AMD. I would lean towards that and PS120, not to be confused with PA120.

I may make mistakes, that's how we all learn. Folding at Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put one on a 7700x but I haven't put a load on it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
