Review on 💻 Intel Core i7-8700 Desktop Processor: 6 Core, Up to 4.6 GHz, LGA 1151 300 Series, 65W Power Consumption by Janis Saikovskis ᠌

Heat dissipation. But now it's conditional. It's hard to compare with anything. Before that, there was a computer that was bought in 2022, so I decided to completely ate the system. To say that I was delighted with what I saw on the monitor screen (by the way, also new - Samsung C24FG70 24 ", if anyone is interested) - to say nothing. Wolfenstein, Destiny 2, GTA 5 - stunning performance. Everything was well, until I started taking measurements. At first, I was worried about the temperature of the video card: it was very hot to the touch. But having installed GPU-Z and looking at the indicators, he calmed down: everything was fine, the temperature did not rise above 65 degrees. But then I launched GTA 5 - and the CPU temperature already alarmed me - it reached 98 degrees there, and sometimes jumped up to 100 degrees in moments. At the same time, in other games, the processor temperature did not rise above 70 degrees, which suited me. I must immediately make a reservation, at that time I had a different cooler - for 500 - because a friend of mine, who "ate the dog" on assembling powerful systems, convinced me that you don't have to bother with cooling on the new generation. Well, I believed As a result, I installed DeepCool Gammaxx GT, applied normal thermal paste. I also bought a new system unit to the heap with 4 fans. I would never have thought that all this would change the picture so much: in the same GTA, now the temperature does not rise above 75 degrees, but on average it stays around 69 degrees. In quiet mode - no higher than 41 degrees. I will confirm the words about temperature fluctuations: it heats up and cools down quickly. The summary is short - if you decide to buy this processor, do not skimp on good cooling. ! In the comments, I ated the information and gave recommendations for action. They will be useful to those who do not bother with overclocking: because there are fools in this stone already with a margin. Read, do not be lazy. I think the information will help dispel the stereotype about the hot nature of this processor)
