Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.7GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W

Its nice to see mainstream CPU with more than 4 cores! I hope well see 8 core version for z370 chipset, thanks Intel.

A great chip that performs how youd want it to. Its basically a factory-overclocked version of the 8700k, and it can still be overclocked even more. I left mine alone and it came out great.

So fast like a lightning! Windows loading screen rarely displayed. it goes straight to the login screen. Probably best with SSD and 3200 MHz ddr4

Upgraded from a i7-4770k and motherboard that were starting have stability issues and wouldnt go past 4.2Ghz even though in the past it would get to 4.5 or higher. Out of the box without any major overclocking this one gets to 5.0/5.1 quite easily.

Excellent after delidding

Took a star for spectre and meltdown.

Una bestia totalmente, logre hacerle un overclock a 4.9 GHz pero las temperaturas subían cerca de 80 hasta 87 - 89 grados c y no es lo que quiero la verdad, incluso no note mucha diferencia en lo que respecta benchmarks de cinebench, quizá en un medio más real donde realice un render de Solidworks puede haber una diferencia pero a decir verdad no considere que valiera la pena, quizá solo necesito un delid o mejor enfriador pero eso no está en mis planes. Para jugar pues que se pude decir le saca todo el jugo a tu tarjeta de video, por ahora juego a 1080p con una 1080ti y rara vez sube del 30% de uso cuando suba a 1440p pues la carga será aún más baja. Si lo vas a comprar te recomiendo un buen enfriador minimo de 240mm un h100i v2 cumple la tarea perfecto.

Probably overkilling for my use but Im glad I got it. Paired with a powerful bequiet air cooler, most of the time runs at 25 celsius. The most power you can get at the best price. A no brainer if you like to keep your computer for years.

A good stable processor

Nothing unexpected. Great performance years after release. Can get a bit warm after overclocking. Only downside is the core count (more cpus are adding similar or higher amount of cores for same or lower price). Great clock speed. Locked at 5.1 ghz for years with 34-40 C idle temp. Bought mainly for gaming so as mentioned, more options are available now for productivity.
