Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Intel Core i7-8700 Desktop Processor: 6 Core, Up to 4.6 GHz, LGA 1151 300 Series, 65W Power Consumption by Adam Nikodem แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A reliable product for all occasions, the quality is at the level.

The processor was chosen for a computer with a backlog of 5-10 years. The only problem is heat dissipation. I took it with index K, and it heats up even without overclocking. The temperature can jump 5-10 degrees for no apparent reason, the cooler constantly howls under this matter. Thought I'd scalp when overclocking was needed, but I can't stand the noise. I spent on liquid metal, a new tower xsilence m504d (there was a gammaxx 400), a scalper, in the amount of about 4k. After the scalp and tests, I left the frequency at 4.7 at 1.25 voltage, my priority is silence. Now the cooler is running very quietly, the temperature still fluctuates, but it doesn't bother me anymore. In idle time, the temperature has not changed, 39-40 degrees, but under load, the liquid metal makes itself felt - it has not yet reached above 75 degrees in games, and this is with strange temperature fluctuations. No throttling in tests.

Pros
  • Power. A vision for the future
Cons
  • What a hot tin, requires investment in cooling
