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 Wielgosz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

The processor was selected for a computer that had a backlog of between five and ten years. The only issue is how quickly the heat is removed. Even without being overclocked, the temperature rose significantly when I took it with index K. The temperature can fluctuate by five to ten degrees for no apparent cause, and the refrigerator is continually complaining about the issue. I was going to overclock when it became necessary, but the noise is just too much for me to take. In the neighborhood of four thousand dollars was spent by me on liquid metal, a new tower xsilence m504d (there was a gammaxx 400), and a scalper. After the scalp and the tests, I decided to keep the frequency at 4.7 at 1.25 voltage because the absence of sound is my top priority. Even though the temperature is still erratic, I no longer find that to be an annoyance because the cooler now operates in a very quiet manner. Under load, the liquid metal makes itself felt, but the temperature has not yet climbed above 75 degrees in games, and this is with weird temperature swings. When the system is idle, the temperature remains at 39-40 degrees; nevertheless, under stress, the temperature has not altered. No throttling allowed during the tests.

Pros
  • Power. A perspective on the years to come
Cons
  • Investing in the cost of chilling such a heated tin is necessary.
