Type of review

I read the reviews and somehow feel ashamed of something. " - bad thermal paste - high TDP - heated at 90 ° - does not take more than 5ghz - . . . » Umm. Seriously? The 8086K is the ultimate flagship gem built with serious overclocking in mind. I am convinced that 90% of people who 'complain' about performance/compatibility issues, etc. simply saved money on the motherboard, cooling or something else, did not understand the BIOS settings enough and, as a result, quite naturally do not get…

Pros
  • Review about 8086K. - almost record performance (for 6 cores) - incredible overclocking potential (specifically, my stone runs at 5.5ghz) See comment.
Cons
  • Not detected.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Regarding the temperature, now I’ll tell you everything about my sample. Cooler Thermaltake Contac 39, Tower Thermal Grease - Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. At the beginning, the components are: Mother - Z370 AORUS GAMING 7, RAM - Corsair Vengeance RGB 32Gb 3200Mhz (16x2), SSD Samsung 960 Evo, Vidyahu took as a plug - 1060 6G, closer to summer I'll take 1080ti. And to the point (the temperature in the room is on average 24 degrees): Stock Simple 26-30 100 load - 55- 60 (in fact, 60 has never been a…

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging, elegant DDR4-2666 SDRAM 14++nm CS:GO - launching
Cons
  • The price for the Box version is 24 900. Nonsense about auto overclocking to 4.7mhz, this is only relevant for one core and it has never been noticed, usually in demanding tasks - 4.4Mhz Default snot under the lid!

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

Processor + motherboard (Asrock b360m pro4) came out at 25.000 at the beginning of June. The stone is suitable, if you understand why you are taking it, do not chase records in tests in ordinary tasks, it shows itself perfectly, for a home system that's it.

Pros
  • 6 cores/12 threads Cold, the temperature in the stress test with increased constant powerlimit up to 120W is not higher than 75 degrees in aida, in games up to 40-60 degrees performance, keeps at 4.3 ghz without drawdowns. Ability to run normally on cheaper B360/H370 motherboards Excellent work in multithreading, well, playing games without problems.
Cons
  • probably snot under the lid, but in ordinary tasks above 60 it doesn’t heat up, so it’s enough for 5 years

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

it didn’t fit my current motherboard, although the socket is the same, the generation differed by one and I had to take another motherboard (((, so look at the website of the motherboard manufacturer whether it supports this particular processor or not

Pros
  • price / speed ratio, I play a little, games like CS GO / Starcraft2 fps - rolls over (maximum), but in the game Kingdom Come Deliverance I didn’t notice much performance, although 24 GB of RAM, inserted 1/2 video cards 1070/1070ti in some places fps drops to 25-30 (mostly 70-80) these are medium settings, maybe the game is not optimized.
Cons
  • before buying, I read in several reviews that there was a lot of heat dissipation, so I took a huge DEEPCOOL REDHAT radiator, a 140mm cooler (the cooler always spins at a minimum), but this "tower" will not fit into every case, I also took ZALMAN ZM-STC8 thermal paste (I advise you to always take paste good and separate)

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I made a video about acommputer with this CPU ? v=jlPORX9K1Vs in this video you will see tests in games (load / fps / temperature), as well as a story about how I got a percentage with a factory defect.

Pros
  • Good performance. Works great with RTX graphics cards. 14nm processor, which greatly reduces the final temperature. Finally 6 cores/12 threads. The price seems to have become more affordable, but it seems to be a little expensive, but it’s rather not expensive, it’s us who are poor.
Cons
  • :) only the second copy turned out to be working :) you can learn more from the video link to which is in the comments. OEM packaging is void of Intel's warranty (you can see a photo of this packaging on the attached photo).

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

This is a wonderful processor that will last for many years and will have the power for another 5 years without a doubt =) It is great for both gaming and working.

Pros
  • The i7 8086k CPU truly works well on high-quality cores. When tested with AIDA64 during overclocking, all cores were found to be within a +/- 5 degree corridor, which means that they behaved steadily. Intel should create such cores for all of their PCI Express controllers =)
Cons
  • just look at the price tag.

Reliable product for all occasions, quality on par.

4.5Hz and 4770K were the settings used. I used a fool to test a 2k 144Hz 32 monitor, and I observed right away that the FPS drops to 65-70 frames, but on average it was 90-100 frames. At 8700K, the drawbacks have been eliminated, frame rates range from 95-135 and even the web browser opens tabs more quickly; the response time is rapid.

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

Various advantages: A review of the 8700k, which features 12 threads and a rapid speed. Speeds that leave room for improvement in the future. Overclocking is not even required for the machine to function normally. Some cons: It's possible that some people have trouble keeping warm. Driver for integrated graphics available exclusively for Windows 10 in 64-bit.

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

An excellent percentage, but it seems that it is excellent for games, and such performance is not fundamental for work. Would I upgrade to it from 8400 a second time? Most likely no. Has pros: The performance in games and the system as a whole has changed a lot, I switched from the i5 8400. With its cons: It seemed to me that a rather capricious processor, again compared to my old i5 8400, I inserted it and forgot it. And this one becomes warm under heavy loads and requires attention. The…

It cant be worse! A waste of money.

a shame Got pros: If you look deeply, then maybe they are, but otherwise it's better to wait for Cannonlake. Moreover, there is one advantage, it is not on the shelves. Got cons: heat dissipation, thermal concha, the old socket is no better than 7700k and, according to tests, even merges with many (there are plenty of proofs).

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Even the noctua, with their supercomoling systems, are unable to comol his ardor, it was said. It's hard to say it's warm, though, because my old Cooler Master V6 with a stockcomoler produces results in the area of 50-60 degrees in games. See the video below for proof. In conclusion, I believe this CPU to be an excellent choice for a high-performance system appropriate for both rendering and gaming. Twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars would be acceptable. Is there a difference between the…

Pros
  • Greater performance compared to previous generations in this segment, larger cache, more cores, a great candidate for ating, enough for at least 3-4 years, so they say, overclocking (although the difference is obvious even without it here).
Cons
  • Although the price and the absence of solder and rapid temperature fluctuations, which do not occur, necessitate the cooling system's operation in turbo mode, are minor drawbacks, they can be bothersome at times.

The product is really good, I'm glad I bought it.

The answer is yes! The stone has a huge safety margin; I adjusted the voltage range so that it operates between 0.650V and 1.050V; at maximum load, the voltage is 0.990V. The temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees Celsius in this setting. I'm holding off on applying 1.250-1.300v to the drain until the board has been ated. By 4.7 degrees on the drain (without downvolt) there is no mention of overclocking. It is still required to scalp the processor, even if overclocking is not desired.

Pros
  • Extremely high-quality memory controller and speedy processor for the price. The motherboard's bios is unfinished, but it didn't prevent me from overclocking the 3466 RAM to the 3733 speed. Any bar that chases up to 4000 in the single-channel mode maintains its percentage!
Cons
  • The temperature rises too high; on a low-end dropsy, I measured 100 degrees; according to the specs, this is permissible but I find it intolerable. In fact, you cannot expect the device to function properly straight from the factory.

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

Prior to that, I was running a 6700k at 4.9GHz with 1.48v. It is still really warm. This is the point at which a significant improvement can be seen. You need not worry about "permanently" putting 5.0 GHz. With its positives being: 6 cores, with excellent overclocking potential. My findings from working steadily in links with avx are as follows: 4.8GHz 1.33v 4.9GHz 1.37v 5.0GHz 1.41v 5.1GHz 1.47v Got cons: 1. An updated chipset. 2. I was required to scale. 3. There is not the slightest bit of a

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Overclocked without problems on ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-H GAMING. (flash the bios to the latest one) Works great with the Noctua NH-D15 cooler. Temperatures are great.

Pros
  • Moved from 6700k. Excellent processor. I wanted i 9 9900k? But I took it with a name. For in games, they are the same. Pure 8 streams. And this is the main thing.
Cons
  • Didn't notice.

Don't buy it, it's not what it should be.

Even scalped under 100% load, it heats up at 70 and jumps to 75. I tried to change the cooling and nothing actually changed. At the moment there is custom cooling.

Pros
  • -Price -Performance
Cons
  • -Temperature

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

I'm not a intel fan, and have respected amd since the early duron days. I understand that some Ryzen7 performance will be noticeably better, and cheaper at the same time. But with all the pluses of amd, finding a normal mother for him is more difficult and unpredictable. The impression is that manufacturers sometimes put poor peripherals on the motherboard on purpose, or simply do not really know what to do with the chipset. There are a lot of people who have been living normally with amd for…

Pros
  • I took i7-9700F. Yes, functionally it is without dual-threading. The percent itself is ambiguous. But 8 cores will not be superfluous. I wouldn't say it gets very hot. Aerocool verkho 4 lite blows on it, and the temperature does not rise above 60. But at the same time it accelerates to 4500 automatically. It seems like there is a lot of it for the RTX 2060, but for once in the current version of 3dMark there is not a slide show, but a completely smooth picture.
Cons
  • Strange prices, box came out cheaper than oem. The bundled cooler doesn't seem to change since the first P4.
