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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

Comment for i7-7700K. A high frequency processor and 4 cores with GT for a gaming system is the best choice, at least for 2022-2022. In games, there is always a reserve of power. Unfortunately, scalping (replacing the thermal paste under the t /cover with liquid metal) is desirable, but mandatory during overclocking. With a good cooling system and scalping, the temperature of this processor under load will always be within reasonable limits. I scalped a year later (as the OEM warranty ran out) but regret not doing it sooner; the result is obvious. This can be seen in the screenshots below. Naturally, different processors come across, some 5 GHz are easy to take, and some only work stably up to 4.7. I seem to be lucky. PS: The last screen - took 5 GHz, but the system is no longer stable, there are "blue screens". 4.9 keeps excellent.

Pros
  • 7700K. Top percent on socket 1151. 4 cores 8 threads. High frequencies per core and overclocking capabilities.
Cons
  • Thermal paste under the heat distributing cover.
