Rugged Gaming Processor, 10/10

- great gaming CPU - smoother framerate derived from my old Haswell 4690k, minimum improved by 0.1% 20/4.8 @ 1.24/ 5 Hz @ 1.35+ with LLC on high (BF1, Pubg, GTA 5 Ghost Recon Wildlands, World War Z, Division 2, Ring of Elysium and Witcher 3) - Tempo @ 4.3 very cool, 40s-50s games, low-peak 60s / @ 5GHz 50s-60s games with peaks in the 70s, peak load 80s and up depends on ambient temp, I live in the Southwest (temps are a bit higher when playing at 240Hz, no more than 5-10 degrees) - IHS TIM is the obvious reason for higher temps when overclocking , the silicon lottery offers this for $40 for those who overclock extremely - I recommend a good air cooler unless using a quality paste runs core voltage at 1.33 @ 4.7 on Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 5, manual Overclocking is better overall: 10/10 highly recommended if you may have noticed the 7 Bridge from i5 se no difference in games at 1080 60 fps but 144hz to 240hz need such powerful cpu i7 8700k @ 4.7 with h100i PRO RGBMsi 2070 games @ 1950mhz gigabyte aorus games 5 z37016gb gskill @ 3200512 ssd PNYCorsair rm 850x Gold PSUThermaltake v7
