Great CPU
When i received the package it came in a core i5 box and when i opened it had the correct cpu i ordered and once i hooked it up to my pc i had a better experience loading up stuff slightly faster and running games at better fps.

I wasn’t sure if this was going to perform better than the i7-6700k but I really think it was …
I upgraded from an FX-8320 to this CPU and it SCREAMS. For the cost, I wasn’t sure if this was going to perform better than the i7-6700k but I really think it was worth it based on the increase in gaming quality I’ve seen. But even with the huge increase in performance, there have been some drawbacks, though somewhat minor in my opinion.I’m going to go ahead and mirror what about half the reviews I’ve seen here and on Newegg have said; it gets hot. Hotter than it really feels like it should. Some people haven’t had issues and I think they’ve won the Silicon Lottery and I am very jealous of them. I, however, am a huge loser in the lottery I feel. With a Corsair H105 I’m seeing around 36-40C idle temps and at 100% load… Well I can’t really tell how high up it can really go because when I fire up Prime95 with small FFT’s the temps go straight up to 100C and I have to cancel the test within seconds. When running in-place FFT’s I see around 77-80C. Now granted I HAVE had my H105 for around 3 years now so it’s possible it’s not having fun working with my motherboard or the pump is going bad and I do plan on replacing it soon, but in the mean time I really don’t think these temps are normal at all. Part of the problem could be the mobo (GIGABYTE AORUS GA-Z270X-Gaming K7 Gaming Motherboard LGA1151 Intel Z270 2-Way SLI ATX DDR4 Motherboard for reference) delivering too much power to the CPU, and some people have said that driver updates fix this problem and I really should have done that before this review so I will update later if that DOES fix it. Because of this issue I’ve been unable, out of fear, to overclock at all though I’m sure outside of stress tests I wouldn’t have to worry about it overheating much while gaming or day to day use.The other issue I’ve had is also related to temperature. While idling I periodically would see vastly different temperatures on each core. And when I say vastly, I mean the difference between Core 0 being 35C and Core 1 being 65C. This would happen randomly when running programs OR idling and would lead to a huge annoyance; my case fans turning up to compensate for just a few seconds then winding down. Not the biggest annoyance but I’ve heard others talking about this and I believe I’ve found a solution. After disabling the onboard graphics, the mobo option to deliver power to it was still set on. Using the Gigabyte App Center utility Easy Tune I turned it down and am no longer seeing this issue, so yay for that.Overall I’m very pleased with this product, despite it’s temp issues. These issues may seem huge but in all honesty I never see temps higher than 65C while doing anything other than stress tests and my problems could stem from mobo issues but none of these have caused me to regret my purchase. I struggle whether or not to rate this at 4 or 5 stars due to my issues, but mine aren’t as extreme as I may have portrayed them and most others don’t seem to be experiencing this level of temperature and that leads me to a solid 5 star review.

Great product, and I’m lucky to have one of the fastest cpu reported
CPU: Intel i7 7700k:l have mixed feeling about this processor, first lets start with the positive side:Pro: Great speed, i was able to overclock it to 5.53 ghz without a problem, and reached benchmark number one on CMU-Z with speed of 577 beating any similar processor around.with clock speed 4.2 – 4.5 ghz this CPU speed is more then capable to handle any application no matter what, i’m running Lightroom, Photoshop, Bridge, Time Lapse application, plus other application and yet able to play COD in the background at full fps on Eco mode :)Cons: processor can overheat and have spikes in temp, this is what many reported and i have noticed till I was able to fix it by resting bios, i was able to solve this issue buy bios reset, and i’m not sure if it was a bio, but now i’m no longer overclocking the CPU, i’m leaving it on Eco mode or performance up to 4.5ghz.Temp works idle 30c maximum while playing games <45cBenchmark is beyond great, since i received fastest single thread result in july 2017 @ 557Maybe when i'm going to receive my new liquid coolant i will give it another try, but it will be for benchmark purposes only, since there is no application which will require anything above 4.5ghz that i'm using.

Great Processor
Really sped up an old system. Kick some more life out of it till intel figures out how to make reliable chips again.

i7-7700K OC’d and Running at 5.1GHz (Water cooled)
4 of 5 Stars – Value for the MoneyThere is little headroom on increased speed and the price to get there is higher than previous generations. If you aren’t planning using Windows 10 – Kaby Lake will not support previous versions of Windows natively (There may be work arounds but…) It’s worth noting, this version does not come with a Stock Fan, so you will need to buy a 3rd party CPU Cooler for it.This System Buildi7-7700KASUS ROG Maximus IX HeroCorsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU CoolernVidia GTX 1080Ti Founders EditionG.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GBEVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2 PSUCorsair Graphite Series 780T Full TowerWindows 10 HomeGetting to 5.1GhzI updated my ASUS BIOS to the newest versionI used the ASUS Windows app AI Suite 3 to stress test the system to its Max stable performance. It actually did a very good job. I rebooted Windows, (hiit F1) entered the BIOS and saved the OC settings into the ASUS BIOS Profile. This saved a lot of time doing manual settings in the BIOS first, then running stress tests.TempsMy Temps Idle speed 28-30C – Under Load 70c-73cKaby Lake CPU’s run warmer under load – but should Never exceed meet 80c Max temps.I never run my older Intel CPU’s beyond 60c as stability couldn’t be insured. All my OC’d PC’s are still running 9 years later. With that said, Kaby Lake CPU’s run warmer. I have not experienced instability under Max load with the i7-7700K.ProsThe i7-7700K can be overclocked to a stable 5.1GHz with water coolingConsYou need to run Windows 10. Although some online forums offer work arounds to this limitation. Is it worth it to run into issues down the line.The speed performance premium may be too high for some.Other ThoughtsConsider that I still run two i7 2600k systems I built in 2011 (running at 4.8Ghz) on Air Cooling, The stock speed of a i7 2600k is 3.4GHz – The i7-7700K runs at 4.2GHz and requires water cooling to get to 5.1GHz. The headroom for increased speed considerably less then it was six years ago.ConclusionIf you’ve purchased or built a high end PC in the last two years for gaming, there may not be a lot on offer here. A GPU upgrade may deliver more tangible speed results.If you use applications that are CPU dependent 3D rendering or Video editing, this increase in speed is welcome.For gaming, nVidia/AMD GPU’s play a bigger role on your gaming than CPU’s once did. If you are buying this for gaming, there are cheaper alternatives. I’ve been running this for 3 days without issues. Games: Doom, Battlefield 1, Battlefield 4, Overwatch ran smoothly, without issues – The water cooling fans kicking in consistently.

Responsive seller I recommend!

Usei pouco ainda, mas até o momento atendeu as minhas expectativas

El rendimiento de este procesador es fenomenal! Es una muy buena adquisicion y el precio no me parece demasiado elevado para lo que es! Como contra calienta un poco mas de lo que estoy acostumbrado pero mi recomendacion es si no tienen buena refrigeracion para su sistema y van a usar el procesador para tareas basicas es utilizar el modo economizador de energia en windows y bajarle el maximo uso del CPU a uno 50%. La verdad para las actividades comunes no hace falta mas que eso y la velocidad sigue siendo extrema. Para jugar si devolverlo a alto rendimiento

super cpu, spara forte, la mia sembra essere tra quelle fortunate pure, reggei 5.1ghz , cosa che non tutti gli i7 7700k reggono, alcuni non reggono nemmeno i 4.9 ..quindi soddisfattissimo, specie abbinato al raffreddamento a liquido che ho abbinato (cooler master masterliquid lite 240..costava 4 lire messe in croce,un po rumoroso se sparato a palla,ma chissenefotte) ..la cpu,ripeto un botto,sono soddisfatto, sia in overclock, che in turno mode, cbhe in modalità tranqui, linux mi permette i 5.1ghz .. windows10 a malapena i 4.5 ..vabbè …. unico neo IL COSTOOOOOOOOO!!!! ma poche storie, intel costa, e la qualità si paga

This processor is awesome. I recently upgraded from a 3770k to the 7700k, and MAN is the difference amazing. The reason for the upgrade was I got a GTX 1080, and it was being bottlenecked by my CPU and RAM. That bottleneck has been alpha and omega’d. It’s destroyed. I couldn’t be happier with the processing speeds. Games like playerunknown’s battlegrounds (which are heavily CPU based due to lack of current optimization) are running significantly smoother. When I stream playerunknown’s, for example, OBS’s cpu load is typically between 1-2%, which means it doesn’t impact my gaming experience at all. Doesn’t get any better than that.â¢â¢ Current Overclock â¢â¢I’m currently rocking my Z270-A mobo’s built in turbo 4.9ghz overclock (haven’t bothered manually OC’ing yet), and temps are fantastic. Keep in mind, I went all out and bought an H100 v2 watercooler, which I can also highly recommend. It’s worth every penny.â¢â¢ Addressing The Bad Reviews â¢â¢I’ll never understand reviews that drop two lines and say something like: “runs really hot, even with my great watercooling setup.” First off, that gives me very limited information. I don’t know about his building history. Is it his first time? Did a friend build it for him? Is he overclocking WRONG? Did he get it all put together from a store, and the employees messed something up?The reason I say this is because my experience has been the complete opposite. My buddy recently purchased the same CPU with an NZXT watercooler, and he runs around 30 degrees idling in a hot, Calgary summer. Similarly, mine runs at 29 when not under load and fluctuates between 55-65 when playing games like the Witcher 3 with Ultra everything (and maxed hairworks). It sounds like that person’s cooling system either isn’t actually working or there’s a major thermal paste issue… or a “no thermal paste issue.”â¢â¢ Conclusion â¢â¢If you want a processor that will crush triple A gaming titles for the next 5 years, this is an excellent buy. When the i9 and above drops, the 7700k’s price may fall even lower… so keep your eyes open for sales. I couldn’t be happier with this processor.
