Intel® Core™ i7-11700K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 (Intel 500 Series & Select 400 Series Chipset) 125W

It can get really hot, I was worried because I was only cooling it with a 120mm AIO, I called intel themselves and found out that this thing doesnt even start thermal throttling until °100c, its done everything I bought it for and it does it pretty well.

All signs point up. Stable on Msi pro wifi, runs like a stealth fighter. Using as work and gaming work horse.

Better than the i9 11900k

The CPU works great. It is super fast and was quite easy to install. Highly recommend it. Would not hesitate in buying again.

Wonderfully designed CPU. For those that want low power consumption and low temps just leave it stock. The 3.6 Ghz to 5.0 boost is designed to make this processor the Swiss Army Knife of CPUs. Overclocks to 5.1 all-core easily on the Z590 motherboards. Yes it runs warm but you wanted an excuse to buy that 360mm AIO. Two cores can overclock to 5.2 if desired. Probably could get all 8 pretty close to that with an open loop system. Scores 116-118% on userbenchmarks. I like AMD but they just dont overclock as well. Plus this processor is readily available at retail price. Some of the hate surrounding this offering is extremely misguided.

Closely matches 5800X (~97% across some synthetic benchmarks according to indep reviewers with meaningful lead in others) at lower price, with inclusion of iGPU, better reliability and availability (Also, ~same long-term power draw and better temperature than 5800X as well)! Excellent product if youre not waiting for Alder Lake later this year

Great cpu. My computer boots faster than my monitor wakes up. Programs open immediately and run well. The only down side to this cpu is that it eats 125 watts and produces quite a bit of heat. My case exhaust fans make noticeable noise keeping my case cool. Having said that, with proper cooling it is easy to keep the cpu under 70 c (under heavy load mine runs 58-65).

I have a ASUS Prime Z390-P motherboard and i’m looking to buy this Cpu will it be ok?

If you have a lga1200 platform this is my recommendation for a high performance gaming cpu. The 11th gen i9 is essentially just a binned and more expensive version of this. Otherwise you can go 10900K for slightly lower single core performance but more physical cores.

Works great
