Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Intel Core i7-8700 Desktop Processor: 6 Core, Up to 4.6 GHz, LGA 1151 300 Series, 65W Power Consumption by Micha Micha แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product for me, I was satisfied with the price.

I bought it, installed it and everything is ok. BUT! In AIDA64 (Stress CPU, stress FPU) showed a temperature of 98c and throttling of 6% (!) And this is without overclocking. Yes, I donโ€™t have dropsy, but 7 copper tubes even with 6700k showed excellent results during overclocking. In general, I overclocked it easily to 5 GHz at low voltage (this is a plus), but due to temperatures I left only 4.8 GHz. I recently scalped and replaced the paste with liquid metal. When overclocked to 5 GHz, the temperature in AIDA64 does not exceed 87s after 30 minutes. In other tests, the results are even better (rendering and games generally do not stagger above 60s). In general, the stone itself is excellent, no words! But what's under his cover is ^%*$%#! When replacing, even then it was thicker than the old paste on the grandfather 6700k. By the way, even the ate for Meltdown did not show any changes in the work of the stone.

Pros
  • The power of the cores and their number.
Cons
  • "Thermal interface" under the lid.
