Any significant differences between these 3? I already have a Z690 board with 32gb DDR5 6000 RAM.
My main use cases:
-
Gaming 3440x1440
-
Heavy excel work
-
Youtube, Chrome
12600k - $160
12700k - $200
12900k - $275
Thank you

I would go 12700k as the best choice. It is a good middle option from those 3.
12600k - its ok
12700k - gives you better performance and it’s fine with the cooler. This should be fine with heavy excel work.
12900k - you need a much better cooler.

The Phantom Spirit 120 is an excellent cooler and will be absolutely no problem for the 12900K.
Saying otherwise is simply untrue.
