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

If youre here then you probably already know this CPUs reputation so I dont think I need to say much more. Im using a cyorig H7 to cool it (at stock clock speeds) and that works fine, at 100% load it reaches around 60c but I rarely have it at full load as Im not rendering video or anything. In all gaming scenarios so far, including PS3 emulation, it hasnt gone over 50c even with ambient temperatures varying between 24c and 30c throughout the day. Im sure with overclocking that would change, and Ill probably get a more capable cooler for when I do (eventually) decide to overclock but air cooled temperatures, even with a relatively cheap air cooler are perfectly fine.

Top!!!

Absolutely a powerhouse, definitely worth an upgrade from my old 4770k.

The item does not work at all. When I ask them to return they ask me to pay 25$ thats unfair it is not my mistake.

unfortunately i received the box opened with only fans no processor in side

With a nice $100 Noctua air cooler you can destroy all your friends in benchmarks. Probably the best cpu next to the i9-9900k that you can buy. I can stream at higher quality than all my friends and get a little higher fps than most of them. Its fantastic. Best cpu I have had in my 20 years of gaming. COOLING IS KEY IF YOU DONT BUY A REALLY NICE AIR COOLER DONT EVEN BUY THIS. I was able to overclock mine to 4.7 without even touching voltage.

Ottimo processore, mantiene delle temperature davvero basse (naturalmente con un dissi aftermarket) e riesce a gestire qualsiasi carico senza troppi problemi, consigliato ad occhi chiusi!!

CPU au top Overclock a 5GHz sans pb (attention avec Water cooling over size. Très stable et enfin très performant.

In case anyone seeing this doesn’t know, it’s better to have a lower core count higher frequency processer like this for gaming as opposed to a more expensive 10 core processer. Amazing product.

Let me start this off with this is a great chip but it is just a 8700k with the limited sticker on it. The 5 ghz clock speed is only for a single core and most everything now a days uses more than one core also all benchmarks I did paired with my 1080 ti they where almost identical in almost all categories including over clocking to the same speed only reason to buy this card is if you want it to collect it. For anything other than that buy a 8700k it’s 75$ cheaper and will do the same job spend that 75$ on a different upgrade.
