The test configuration:
Here are the different components that equip our test platform. For the publication of these tests, I used the latest BIOS received although new versions will certainly be available in the days to come. MSI has been very reactive on the update of its BIOS during the launch.
We will also offer you in the coming weeks several overclocking guides for your processor but also for your memory kit.

A quick tour through CPU-Z to make sure everything is in order before we start our tests. We notice that with this version 2.0, our i9-12900KS is perfectly recognized as well as the DDR5 memory. We can see that CPU-Z recognizes the 8+8 (8 P-core + 8 E-core).
