Not sure how many people will end up buying these, but I have so if you have you can post in here with tips suggestions or just pics of your baby.

I have a i7 12700k and Asus Rog Strix Z690-A WiFi D4. i will be ordering a Lian Li o11D XL Rog on Monday.

Here are pics of mine

Bit of an OC see how it goes, cooling should be good enough.

Here’s my system, so far so happy. 12 gen performance is amazing

Same board. It's a good one and imo the best DDR4 board for ADL. Why the fan on the ram? mines at 3800 1.4v and does not need a fan
Here's mine now

My ram is touching each other and is at 1.5 volts, so active cooling helps

These are not bad, apparently will do 4000+ but not tried

Surely there's more than 2 alder owners here, or perhaps people on tpu just really hate alder

My 12700K rig is about half completed. I put the LGA 1700 mounting hardware for my Arctic LF II 280 on the ASRock Z690 Steel Legend WiFi then installed the CPU last night. I also installed the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB and Samsung 970 EVO 1TB on it before calling it a night. I have to do some slight Dremel mods to the case for the 280 to fit properly (the 360 I planned on using just won't fit no matter what I mod) and planned on doing that today along with final assembly but the power went out here at 8 a.m. this morning and didn't come back on until 9:30 tonight.

I'll be using 64GB of G.Skill TridentZ 3600 C16 (4x16) that I had on hand.

I have already gathered this stuff, waiting for RAM, delivery scheduled for January 5.

Just though I would add mine...12700K, DDR4 3600, RTX 3080 and the Asus Srtix-A D4 which has been great...

Customer States : Cpu Watercooler will not fit , No LGA 1700 kit available. Sooo i got out my Dremel and made it fit, temps are fine .

Launch Day 12900K here.. and Asus Strix Z690-A D4 board, seems like a popular choice.
I'm in the minority with cooling Mine's on air, I had to cut a small piece of plastic off the VRM heatsink to get the Noctua U12A to fit
Previously had my corsair H150I on it, but i just prefer air so i went ahead and broke out the Dremel.

Temps are good though, 74C under full load. Cinebench loop

And this-

For my loop

I like the Distribution thing.

Hi all, just a quick sanity check as I start down the road of Alder Lake overclocking which seems a bit more complicated. I have overclocked my 12700K through a per core overclock, 1 core at 5.4GHz, 2 cores at 5.3GHz, 3 to 4 cores at 5.2GHz and 5 to 6 cores at 5.2GHz and 7 to 8 cores at 5GHz. E Cores synced at 39 with a ring of 40. I have gone for an adaptive vcore at 1.35v...Running Cinebench R23 I am hitting 88 degrees C on the hottest core. This is with a 360mm AIO. Would this be okay for a 24/7 overclock?

Idle temps in the UK are good between 21 o 26 degrees C...

A very long read about Memory and CPU OC on Alder Lake but i recommend it to you.
