Review on Intel Core i7-8700K: Unleash the Power of 6 Cores, Turbo Boost up to 4.7GHz – Perfect for LGA1151 300 Series Desktops! by Adam Kotowski ᠌

Well, Intel has provided something worthwhile. After the burned-out 7700K, I had already considered getting an AMD processor. However, the cooler is incompatible in the current configuration, I had to wait for a free special mount from Cryorig, and the RAM was not on the AMD compatibility list, so I waited for this one and bought it (almost for 26K, which is fantastic given the prices of speculators at 35–40K at the time of purchase). accelerates up to 4.7 GHz with a single flip switch in the BIOS. Aida's stress tests were successful; the temperature of the stressed cores reached 90 degrees (normally 80–85, though one core briefly spiked to 93 degrees); the idle mode temperature remained at 30–35 degrees (Cryorig Ultimate 5 cooling); and none of the cores trolled. I haven't yet used it to run games or renderers, but I don't believe it will be any worse than the 7700K or worse than the Ryzen 1800X. It is worthwhile to wait till the prices stabilize.
