Review on πŸ’» Intel Core i7-8700 Desktop Processor: 6 Core, Up to 4.6 GHz, LGA 1151 300 Series, 65W Power Consumption by Adam Bronisz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

I am not aware of the temperature range that constitutes a normal operating range for this processor. The temperature of my new i7 8700k is 15 degrees hotter when it is under stress than the temperature of my previous i7 930. If you listen to Intel, you are free to heat your home to an unsafe level of ninety degrees. But how much longer will he be able to live in these conditions? Got pros: Excellent performance. My previous Intel Core i7 930 worked reliably for almost eight years, but in order to play the newest games, I needed to upgrade. I have high hopes that the replacement will be just as durable. Having this drawback: 1. The temperature sensors are acting in a peculiar manner. As numerous people have pointed out, the temperature indicators leap in an instant from 30 degrees to 42 degrees. The temperature jumps will stop occurring once you switch off TurboBoost. It would appear that a fast rise in speed results in a corresponding sharp increase in temperature. 2. Extremely warm in most cases. I spent $1,800 on a DeepCool Gammaxx 400 cooler, which I purchased alongside a processor. The highest temperature reached throughout my hour-long session of Battlefield 1 was 75 degrees. The temperature is maintained at approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the game on average.
