Review on Processor Intel Core i7-7700 LGA1151, 4 x 3600 MHz, OEM by Stanisaw Nader ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

I took myself two months ago in the Slim-Desktop case. At first, there was a cheap tower cooler with two tubes, taken from a DEPO computer, I don’t remember which one))) Immediately my eyes popped into my forehead when, after loading the system, I saw a temperature of 87 degrees. Well. about this sore, I have long read / seen enough in tyrnet and decided to scalp . As they say, the eyes were afraid, but the hands were doing. A very dangerous procedure . did not damage the percent. Well, okay, it did. Then I bought Liquid Pro liquid metal and a Thermaltake AXP-200 Muscule cooler (yes, expensive, but I need a thin, quiet and powerful cooling system and I didn’t lose). First, I applied liquid metal (there are plenty of instructions on the internet) only on the crystal and the lid of the processor from the inside, thinking that if that's enough, then I'll leave it like that. And. Yeah! it worked! The temperature is actually 20 degrees lower! In general, without scalping, I had to lower the frequency to 4 GHz in order to heat up to 87 in the load. On standard 4.4, I could go into throttling from overheating . Now it’s 45 degrees at rest, and in a two-hour stress test, the CPU Burn program has reached max temperature 76 degrees in overclocking to 4.7 GHz, which solved all my problems in the bud. By the way, I forgot, I left some Chinese thermal paste with a thermal conductivity of 6-8 units there between the lid and the cooler))) For KPT-8, this parameter is in the region of 1-1.5. Thermal paste copes perfectly well, cooler and liquid metal too. In general, the processor is excellent. Minus 1 point for the slag under the cover and the corresponding overheating. It turns out, buy a percent for ~ 20 thousand, so also modify the cooling system for the developers)) : This is by no means a call to action, but a personal experience. I am not responsible for your personal hand-to-hand in the event of a breakdown of the processor))))

Pros
  • Powerful! The best of his generation. Works great on hackintosh since version 102022
Cons
  • He has one sore - thermocaca under the lid and the corresponding overheating. More details below.
