I’m preparing the right cooling setup based on what you already own. Your current i7-5820K is stock, while a 12700K would be significantly more powerful. Expect it to run much hotter, so you’ll need better cooling solutions.

That's what I was considering! But I'm just trying to think it through. If a program charges based on taxable amounts, it's possible it would handle lower values better, making it seem more efficient for smaller figures. Does that make sense in this situation? Or is there another way it operates?

12700K represents a much more compact chip, likely referring to Intel 7 technology at 10nm. They tend to heat up quicker and reach stable core temperatures more slowly (temperature spikes then gradually drops). Comparing CPU performance under different loads isn't straightforward due to these differences.

Intel CPUs are typically designed as nuclear reactors, but this time they function effectively unlike some inefficient models (like the 11900k) that run at lower voltages (1.2-1.25V) at high speeds (4.8-5g) on the power cores to cut energy use and heat generation, making cooling simpler. A solid dual-tower setup such as the Fuma 2 should work well.

Thanks for the suggestion! I have a Noctua NH-D15S cooler, which seems solid. My main worry is the case: I need it to be as silent as possible for my vocal recording tasks (audio-description work), so I might be getting the Define 7. I’m aware it doesn’t provide excellent CPU cooling.

Consider the top-rated air coolers based on their cooling performance.

The 12700K reaches higher temperatures but isn't something you need to worry about much. It generates that amount of heat only during full operation; lower loads and idle times will keep it cooler or close to what your 5820K provides. You can also adjust the voltage or set power limits for improved temperature control. For a comparable performance with better efficiency under load, consider the Ryzen 5900X and enable Eco Mode. Overall, modern AMD CPUs tend to maintain more of their speed when limited compared to Intel options, making Ryzen a potentially better choice if you opt for power limiting.
