12th Gen i9-12900HX ES Q015 Modified FLASH HX desktop 1700LGA Can overclock
Mr Su’s brand new BGA to LGA has finally arrived! New chips, more fun to have. The new generation BGA to LGA chips all have unlocked core multiplier and unlocked SA voltage enabling new ways to fine tune your system.
The biggest change this time is that no BIOS mods are needed! Yes, that means no more BIOS programmers and most LGA1700 motherboards will run these straight out of the box! That’s not it, you can also theoretically overclock on B and H series chipsets too! No need for expensive Z series for overclocking. Yes, that means H610 can now overclock memory too!
Another improvement is the memory compatibility. You can now run up to DDR4 4000 in Gear 1 mode, up to DDR4-4800 in Gear 2 mode, and up to DDR5 6800+ (2 DIMM DDR5 motherboards only, DDR5-7000+ can be achieved with better CPUs and motherboards)
PCIe improves to PCIe 4.0x16 for graphics and 4.0x4 for M.2, enabling the use of all the latest and greatest graphics cards, SSDs, and other peripherals. (PCIe 5.0 x16 was tested working but not validated thoroughly)
CPU stepping is also identical to retail (C0 Stepping); therefore, there are no major silicon level bugs and will get all the latest microcode and security updates.
This generation of BGA to LGA will be the first and probably the last generation to be able to run AVX 512 (requires motherboard, BIOS support, and also e-cores disabled). This enables them to be no only very efficient for scientific calculations, but also excelling in PS3 emulation which can be accelerated with AVX512.
All HX BGA to LGA chips include a 16 or 32EU Intel UHD iGPU. They support the latest codecs such as AV1 and is a great companion for your video encode, decode, and Quicksync accelerated tasks. The iGPU can also handle system diagnostics and light gaming when you need it in a pinch
Type 1: Q015 i9 12900HX ES Version. 16 (8P + 8e) Cores and 24 threads. Max P Core turbo 4.4GHz, max E-Core turbo 3.2GHz.
Type 2: Q016 i5 12600HX ES Version, 12 (4P + 8e) Cores and 16 threads. Max P Core turbo 4.0GHz, max E-Core turbo 2.9GHz.
Both models support core and memory overclocking, PCIe 4.0x16, and Intel UHD Graphics.
Please remember! This generation of magic CPU can be in the H610 B660 H670 Z690 W680
B760 H770 Z790 motherboard used! There are no restrictions! This is an exciting thing!
Tip: Do not use a motherboard with 4 memory slots. The best compatibility is the motherboard with dual memory slots.
