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 Wawrzyski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Analysis of the 8700 (without K). I upgraded my AMD fx-8320 and noticed how much faster my GTX 970 ran. The average frame rate in Assassin's Creed Origins increased from 50 to 80, and a benchmark run on the same settings showed an increase from 5588 to 9977. In pubg, vidyaha started to surpass the 144 FPS cap, despite the fact that it had never before exceeded a hundred. While I used to frequently observe that you don't alter the visual settings, the FPS in games stays at the same level, it has become noticeably more comfortable to play. Since the processor is no longer a constraint, the video card may now operate at full capacity. According to the test findings, even the SSD started to operate more quickly. It can get up to 60 to 65 degrees hot during games. This, however, is because it is not entirely loaded. In order to reduce heat, make sure you downvolt. For the typical user, taking the K modification with overclocking makes no sense because doing so will result in higher temperatures and power consumption, which will necessitate the adoption of a higher-level motherboard, water cooling, and, of course, a scalp. Overclocking to 300-400 MHz will not provide as much benefit. And all of this is done to achieve a 5-8% gain.

Pros
  • nice performance improvement. 6/12
Cons
  • With the IH-4800 installed and a well-ventilated case, it warms up to 82 degrees when fully loaded in Linx 0.91 and 1.2V. Under the cover, thermal paste.
