My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Intel Core i9-12900K 3.20GHz (Alder Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - OEM= £539.99

Total: £548.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)

Is there a difference between oem and retail ?
Apart from a box..

Explain ? Lol

Ignore that, oem used to have a shorter warranty but they're both 3 years now

So it’s literally the same processor ?

IceBear · 12 Dec 2021 at 16:55

Looks the same thing to me, unless I'm missing something.

Just found out it comes with no heatsink in the oem but I’m going watercooled so doesn’t matter lol

Do any ADL come with a sink? My ADL 12700k retail in box never.

Intel stopped putting heatsinks in 'K/KF' cpu's a while back. You still get them in the non 'K' versions.

It's also £60 more with the box but I guess it is a nice box
