An utterly godlike CPU.
Got this for a new gaming rig I was setting up. The first Amazon package came as an empty box. The CPU box had clearly been compromised at some point at the Amazon Warehouse (I’d have to assume) and it had no CPU inside, only the documentation. Amazon was quick to send me a new one, and it wasn’t a huge setback since I was still awaiting the motherboard and case. Second package arrived just fine.You know what you’re paying for here. This is a really high performance CPU with the capability to be overclocked to your heart’s content, and (while nothing is “future-proof”) it should stay relevant for a few years to come. Paired with a nice GPU (1070 GTX in my case) it’s able to run literally anything I throw at it. Shadow of the Tomb Raider can run with nearly all settings maxed out/at high. It blasted through most stress tests I threw at it, and managed to score a 1456 on Cinebench’s CPU test, hitting only 71 deg C at most.This CPU (obviously) comes with no dinky stock Intel cooler, so I’m using a Corsair H100i v2 for cooling here, and it pays off in BOUNDS. I can OC stable to 4.9GHz (what I have it running at now) and it runs cooler, both at idle and under load, than my last CPU did with its beefy Coolermaster heatsink/fan. Albeit, the radiator fans can get a bit noisy at times, but I’ve been tweaking my OC profiles to reduce noise and I’ve gotten the noise factor down a bit.Overall, I’m immensely satisfied. This is the first time (since the days of the 8800 GTX) that I’ve had a “relevant” gaming PC, something that can actually run modern AAA titles, and my quality of life has improved drastically as a result. No more FPS drops when I try and watch Twitch while playing Overwatch. No more stuttering and lagging when the OS decides to run some CPU-intensive garbage in the background while I’m gaming. It’s pretty amazing.Here’s the full build, for anyone interested. I wholeheartedly recommend this build to anyone looking to upgrade or build their first gaming PC, and it’s relatively budget friendly compared to pre-built options, especially if you can snag some or all the parts on sale:Intel – Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz 6-Core ProcessorCorsair – H100i v2 70.69 CFM Liquid CPU CoolerAsus – PRIME Z390-A ATX LGA1151 MotherboardCorsair – Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 MemoryKingston – A400 120 GB 2.5″ Solid State DriveEVGA – GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Video CardNZXT – H500 (White) ATX Mid Tower CaseCorsair – 850 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power SupplyWhole build totaled out to about $1,300 after mail-in rebates.

Easy to overclock and runs fast
My second computer build i decided to build with Intel this time and it has been a much easier process to setup and overclock. I purchased the 8700K when it was new more than a year ago and have been using it since.Coming out of the box already running at 4.7GHZ on all cores is super impressive. I have always been a hound for speed so this makes it easy for me. Overclocking is a snap with Intel’s easy overclocking utility that comes with alot of tools for stability testing as well. I tended to use Intels software for benchmark runs, and my Motherboard software for daily driving overclock.Now not every chip is the same and even if you have an 8700k, you may not see the same performance that i have been lucky to achieve. It’s called the silicon lottery for a reason and I think I just got lucky. My Results are as such: highest Overclock achieved was 5.3 GHz on all cores. no problems and it worked just fine. For normal use i leave it at a nice and round 5 GHz and temps have not gone past 55c with a corsair AIO liquid cooler. So temps dont get hot, and it overclocks and is happy to sit there with no problem. I really dont know what else i could ask for since 6 cores/12 threads is more than enough for any workload i currently throw at it. In all gaming performance, i have not encountered any issues that are CPU related. Overall i couldnt be happier with my CPU.Pros:High Clock SpeedEasy to overclock12 ThreadsCons:At time of writing is more expensive than a 9700K

Very Good Processor
No issue with that processor, i already had one, now this is my second one.

my best cpu
i am a little biased since i love intel, i grew up taking field trips to the portland, or headquarters and i became a computer engineer when i first learned assembly code, the beauty of the architecture was instantly apparent. the new generation of chips does not add too much stuff, and seems more like a product designed to fill the gap until the 10nm chips are ready for consumers. it means that the jump isnt huge over the 7th gen chips in terms of features, but the stability and performance feel greatly improved to me. like the 7th gen chips, the VT-d and IOMMU technology means i can run linux as my OS and still play games natively, the turbo boost means i dont have to turn my overclock off when im just doing basic work, 6 cores means i can pin multiple cores to my windows VM and it feels just as responsive as a 4 core box, the common simple physical design makes relidding a breeze and compatibility a non-issue. it has encouraged me to get back into computers as a hobby, and i have since bought the 8086k as an upgrade and keep this one as a backup. i am now waiting with baited breath for an X series.

Super super recomendo melhor processador que existe no atual momento porem o preço um pouco alto mais com todas taxas do brasil não poderia ser mais barato mais enfim recomendo parabéns para quem adquirir este produto.

Este procesador en especial es la respuesta directa a AMD y su serie Ryzen por parte de Intel este procesador cuenta con 6 núcleos fÃsicos y 12 hilos de trabajo, como era de esperarse de Amazon el producto llego en tiempo y con la correcta protección, el procesador no cuenta con un disipador de stock asà que debes prevenir esto y comprar uno que se compatible con tu MoBo y el procesador.Del procesador como tal puedo decir que tiene un excelente desempeño tanto para tareas mundanas como word, excel, etc. hasta tareas que requieren mayor desempeño como renders, performance, multi task, etc. Donde brilla realmente este procesador es en gaming si lo comparamos con su equivalente de la 7ma generación o con el Ryzen 7 2700. En lo personal siempre he tenido una preferencia por los procesadores de intel y este cumple mis expectativas por mucho si lo que quieres es buen desempeño este es la opción.

This processor rocks everything you throw at it. I use it primarily for gaming and video encoding purposes and it does every task very smoothly without even using all 6 cores.This is the need for next gen PCâs.

Processeur particulièrement performant globalement, et plus spécifiquement pour le jeu vidéo, notamment si on le pousse en fréquence.### Overclocking ###5Ghz obtenus facilement sur l’ensemble des cores, et surtout tenus en pleine charge avec une température correcte. Nécessite dans mon cas un watercooling plus costaud que celui que j’avais auparavant (passage d’un corsair h60 à un nzxt kraken x52) pour conserver un niveau de bruit contenu et performant (~65 degrés en pleine charge soutenue).### Pour les joueurs ###Dans les jeux gourmands (pour ne pas dire mal optimisés), le gain en fluidité est impressionnant lorsque le facteur limitant est le CPU (anciennement un i5 4.6ghz) et non le gpu (gtx 1080 non changée). Sur le dernier ACO, c’est un gain de 35fps tout de même, et plus aucune baisse de framerate en dessous de 60fps.Pour d’autres, mêmes récents, ou le cpu est peu sollicité (comme Prey), il n’y aura aucun impact positif à attendre.
