Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

Immediately after the purchase, I decided to scalp the processor, minus - loss of warranty, pluses - all the temperature benefits arising from this. Now overclocked for all cores to 4.8 MHz, the temperature at idle is 33-35 in games above 50 -52, I have not seen it in OCCT 63-65.
Cooling costs fractal design celsius s36 (standard turntables are changed to Corsair AF120), Inwin 303 case (far from the best in terms of cooling.)

Pros

Review of 8700K 6 cores, good overclocking potential ;) All the advantages are painted in the tests.

Cons

Thermal paste under the processor cover from here is not a pleasant temperature during overclocking. I see no reason to take a processor with the letter K and not drive it.
