Don`t bother with i9 this is so good.

Upgraded from an 4790k and Im happy with my purchase. Easy stable OC to 5.2ghz all cores with temps going into the 50s under load and between 26-33 idle. Handles anything I throw at it paired with 32gb 3600mhz ram and sli1080ti sc black editions

Pros:

Good condition

If you dont have a cooler before buying this, get one ASAP.

Changement de config après 6 ans, déjà sur un i7 auparavant, je reste fidèle en ayant longuement hésité avec les nouveau RYZEN de chez AMD.

Great cpu. But runs hot af (stock) due to its architecture.

I just purchased the new Macmini 2018 and debated at first what CPU upgrade to get. I knew I didnt want the entry level i3; the other choices were the i5-8500 or this i7-8700 for $200 more. I am very happy I opted for the i7 update. The i5 was 6 core/6 threads, no hyperthreading, this i7 is 6 core/12 threads WITH hyperthreading. I have a Mac program that scans audio files and analyzes them to level the sound level equally (program is iVolume, for windows and mac, highly recommend it). This addresses the issue when playing music where one song is too soft, another too loud and constantly adjusting the volume. iVolume analyzes and writes the sound level info back into the audio file for iTunes to use to adjust the relative volume. Program is written to use as many threads as available, and will even show you how many it is using. On a MacBook pro from 2017 running an i7 7700HQ, scanning 7000+ songs in my iTunes library with iVolume would take 1-1/2 hours using 4 cores/8 threads. The Macmini with the i7-8700 took 20 min. Note, a third of these songs are classical music pieces/movements, some as long as 20-30 minutes, with very wide dynamic range. CPU temp never went past 90C with internal fan at max. Good indication that the newly designed cooling system in the new Mac is doing its job and is well capable of handing this i7 (contrary to some reviews which questioned whether the small form factor of the macmini would create a thermal problem with the higher end CPUs.) So, if you came here to read reviews on the CPU as part of considering whether it was worth the upgrade in the Macmini 2018 (like i did before purchase), I can highly recommend the upgrade, cost is worth it...at a minimum at least get the i5 upgrade over the entry level i3. Saving up $$$ now for a eGPU external add on (this macmini has four Thunderbolt 3 / 40 Gbps ports), which means Ill also have an excellent gaming rig when booted into Windows/Bootcamp. Oh, and I frequently have 2 to 3 Windows and macOS virtual machines running concurrently as well, with each VM assigned 2 virtual cores. One VM running Windows Server 24/7. Also usually have Xcode running, Plex Media Server, serving an entire household with family often watching multiple content on multiple devices concurrently, transcoding as needed, plus MS Office apps. This CPU doesnt even blink, running typically at 45C temp with all the programs I just mentioned; occasional bursts up to mid 50C.

The speed is insane coming off from a i5 4690K. Overclocked this i7 8700K @ 5.1ghz and everything is stable, could probably go even higher. Easy to setup in the ASUS Rog Strix Gaming E BIOS. Got the Corsair H150i AIO cooler and 4 Corsair HD120 fans to ventilate this beast and staying at around 35-55 C temp.
