The product is really good, Im glad I bought it.

This is an excellent option to go with if you need to put together a global system from the ground up. If you're looking to upgrade your Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processor for the sole purpose of gaming, I wouldn't suggest doing so. Has pros: 8700K (BOX) Highly effective, factory overclocked, six cores and twelve threads, rendering at its best possible quality. The Z370 Extreme 4 chases with a bang, offering up to 5GHz of processing speed. The fact of the matter is that I have sufficient…

It makes no difference whether you took a stone with a locked multiplier or one with an unlocked one in terms of the outcome, so let me get that out of the way first. at stock frequencies when using turbo boost, which is a significant amount. Although it is uncommon, the greatest examples are capable of operating at voltages ranging from 1.1 to 12022 volts. The majority function within the range of 12022-12022. Even in the worst case scenario, if there is a defective copy floating around, it…

Pros
  • - Outstanding performance across the board for both core and multithread operations - It is in your best interest to be perplexed and take your time selecting the voltage that is precisely right for your specimen. If you do this, you will end up with a more reliable system, lower temperatures in the vpm zone and on the stone itself, and a longer amount of time during which the device may be utilized. - The price tag has gotten more reasonable, but you still shouldn't pay too much for an unlocked multiplier. There's always a chance you'll end up with a low-quality copy that, even when installed on a pricey motherboard, won't be able to handle an excess of +200-300 megahertz.

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

On October 30th, 2017, I paid twenty-four thousand dollars for a single OEM copy. Up until very recently, I did not think that I had actually succeeded in making a reservation for this stone, and I was scared that this would turn out to be yet another mistake made by the call center, as it has been in other popular businesses. The transaction was completed to my complete satisfaction. Before that, there was an i5 4670K, and although I did not detect any significant changes in the number of…

Pros
  • You purchase this particular processor for a purpose, and that reason is the benefit. And if we get into the nitty gritty, these processors have a decent frequency and 6 cores with 12 threads each. A further advantage is that the TDP is set at 65, rather than 95 as it would be with the "K" option.
Cons
  • Market shortage Since there are no additional drawbacks, this is the best option.

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

I decided to reduce the frequency to 3600 in order to clear my name of any suspicions. In games, I checked everything first on the drain, and that is, 4300 frames per second did not change at all. This is due to the fact that temperatures above 60 are not allowed to go. Now that the guarantee has expired, I'm considering getting a scalp because the assembly is terrible. Why would you put a thermal gum for a percentage higher than 25k? Below are some advantages: With a 1070 Ti coupled in games…

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

With the exception of Supreme Commander, which only utilizes a single core, and the game begins to lag when 100,500 units arrive on the map, you will just have to learn to live with it if you want a consistent frame rate in any game. It is sufficient without any issues and doesn't strain at all during gameplay. I also render videos. Although it takes 13.5 minutes to render a video that is 5 minutes long and has a resolution of 1080p with a frame rate of 60 FPS and a bitrate of 28 million bps…

Pros
  • - Powerful [more powerful than even the next generation, the 9900k doesn't seem to outperform much, somewhere about 4%, but it costs 15 thousand more] - I couldn't come up with anything else to say.
Cons
  • - A very high capacity to dissipate heat. The power dissipation is said to be 95 W in the specifications; however, on my second computer I have an AMD FX 6300 with a comparable power dissipation, and the cooling for Intel and AMD are roughly the same, yet the FX warms up to a maximum of 59 degrees Celsius. This is despite the fact that the coolers for Intel and AMD are approximately the same. Intel warms up to 85 degrees. Even with the lid removed, the maximum temperature reached 75 degrees, which is 15 degrees more than AMD! Later on, I discovered that this was because the case did not have very careful air circulation. And they mentioned that AMD is almost a stove, but for the time being it turns out to be the contrary. By the way, the TOP Ryzen, as I observed when I was reading the reviews, is also colder than the i7 8700k. It is recommended that you purchase something better, of course, although in theory it is sufficient kind of like, but after AMD, 75 degrees of temperature strains a little bit. If you decide to take it, then buy accordingly, and the cooling is not bad. I have a DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 300 R DP-MCH3-GMX300RD cooler, and I don't overclock if the temperature is like this. It is more likely that my expectations were not realized (and those were gathered from the words of various "experts"), but once again, I expected that this CPU would be colder. Despite this, I will not deduct one point from the overall rating because it is more likely that my expectations were not reached.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

Perhaps someone will prove to be helpful. It appears that the 9-series is supported out of the box by the Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X motherboard, which was previously used to install the 8700. Despite this, the 9700k would not start under any circumstances. It turned out that the F6 bios firmware that I had did not support the R0 stepping that my CPU had. I was quite disappointed to learn this. It's a good thing there are a few different computers in the home because I was able to download the F8…

Pros
  • Significantly colder than the 8th series, with eight fully developed cores that are, of course, quick. I bought it at the beginning of August for 25 kopecks, packaged, and thanks to the new ryzens, the difference between it and the old version was probably not that significant. During the Aida stress test, the temperature was 10 degrees lower than it was during the 8700 (without k) - earth and sky test that came before it. Obviously, I was aware of the solder, but I did not anticipate that the nine would be quite so chilly. Yes, and the percentage seems to be successful (Malaysian, stepping r0) at keeping 4.6 in turbo boost for all cores while under full load at a voltage of 120225-120220, with the hottest core reaching 62 degrees Celsius. The previous 8700 (OEM), after many lengthy dances with a tambourine around the selection of voltage, finally consented to work only at 120225-120220, and even then, the temperature was slightly higher than 70 (turbo boost was enabled, steady 4.3 for all cores). In either scenario, the cooler is the Dipkul Assassin 2 and the MX-4 paste.
Cons
  • Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X did not start up straight away; for more information, read the comment below.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

review of the 8700k, I will not report anything new because everybody already knows that Intel has gone to the extreme in the lack of competition and manufactured this miracle without solder under the lid using some type of thermal paste made in North Korea. When employing liquid metal, scalping produces temperatures of roughly -20 degrees. This seems like a really irresponsible way to handle the release of top products, doesn't it?!

Pros
  • + top 6 cores running at a minimum of 3.7 GHz + power reserve for a long time + wants to be dispersed + obtained experience in scalping
Cons
  • - there is no solder beneath the cover; - the thermal paste under the cover is of a horrible quality; - the product is a pay/scalp; - the box version does not include a cooler

The i7 8700 is the subject. I paid 23 for a package. The g5400 growth was noticeable in front of him. The voltage was set to 12022 percent. (screen 2 highlighted in red), increased the OP frequency to 2666, and locked the turbo boost to all 6 4.3 GHz cores. At a room temperature of 29 degrees, the OSST test was successfully completed; for details, see screen 1. Everything also functions normally when you consume! Thermal paste MX-2, motherboard ASUS ROG STRIX B360-H GAMING, and Noctua NH-U12S…

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

In overall, the acquisition meets all of the expectations. There is still some work to be done with the support for more dividers for the memory frequency; hence, I am unable to begin using DDR4-3200. When the mode is changed from 2400 to 3200, the machine starts resetting the video card settings to 800x600 when the PC boots, and only after 5 seconds has passed. However, when the mode is changed back to 2133, everything functions well. brings everything back to normal. I really hope this is…

Pros
  • Coffee Lake operates at 14 nm plus, has 6 cores, and 12 threads. Actually a change in technique, rather than the standard 5% gain in performance. I had no problem agreeing to a frequency of 5 GHz, but anything higher than that is unnecessary for me. On a Deepcool Captain 120 EX water bottle and a small itx Tristellar SW case, depending on the selected mode of operation of the PC cooling system (silent, standart, turdbo, or full speed), the temperature ranged from 35-50 degrees Celsius when the system was idle, but under load, temperatures beyond 67 were not seen in any of the operating modes cooling systems.
Cons
  • Intel was unable to produce a sufficient quantity of CPUs because of competition from AMD and an earlier (nearly an entire quarter) release date. Speculators did not fail to take advantage of this situation. I did not have time to place an order for 27, and by the time I went to another store an hour later, the time had gone passed 30. the day before, the price tags were already 32, 35, and 39; nevertheless, when the price tag reached 41, I discovered that it was available for 35,600 thousand. The old computer that was on 3770 has already been taken away.

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

Another example of "chewing gum" being used in place of solder under the lid! If these CPUs had a heat dissipation of 65 watts and a typical implementation of heat dissipation UNDER the cover, then they would be able to work with a boxed aluminum radiator. We are stuck with what we have, which is the requirement to set up towers as a means of making up for what we refer to as "Intel's failure" in terms of heat dissipation. Some pros: An outstanding achievement in both the games and the…

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

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.

Well, Intel has provided something worthwhile. After the burned-out 7700K, I had already considered getting an AMD processor. However, the cooler is incompatible in the current configuration, I had to wait for a free special mount from Cryorig, and the RAM was not on the AMD compatibility list, so I waited for this one and bought it (almost for 26K, which is fantastic given the prices of speculators at 35–40K at the time of purchase). accelerates up to 4.7 GHz with a single flip switch in the…

Pros
  • 12 threads, 6 cores. Overclocking
Cons
  • I've just started racing for two days, so I haven't yet noticed it. Well, except that the Z270 cannot use it.

Normal quality, you can use it.

Where to begin? Most likely with the Intel cult and their extremely powerful informational pressure, which may be compared to well-crafted propaganda. Friends who were persuaded that Intel was superior in all aspects, dozens of read and seen evaluations and comparisons that uniformly proclaimed a large advantage of the i7-8700 over the Ryzen 5 2600; it was between these two options that I decided to go with Intel. There is a theoretical gain of up to 20% in gaming performance over Ryzen, but if

Pros
  • (Some thoughts on the i7-8700) 1. Having 6 processor cores and 12 threads is a benefit, but there are also drawbacks to it. A structure like this one ought to already be established as the standard, allowing for some wiggle room for the future. It is common knowledge that the world would not have seen Intel's 6-core processors if it were not for AMD. 2. It will be one of the most accurate frames-per-second indicators available in games. 3. It will be beneficial for users who do not delve deeply into the operation of their gear, who do not monitor anything, and who, in general, believe in the unquestionable technological superiority of Intel over AMD. Windows 10 is, for users like me, the best operating system in the world since I bought it, installed it, and use it.
Cons
  • 1. The presence of thermal paste behind the lid, which is the primary cause of the high temperature of the CPU. It is cooled by an Arctic Cooling Freezer 33, which ought to be more than adequate for a processor that has not been overclocked. However, in practice, the results are as follows: in games, 70-75 grams, and in tests, up to 86 grams. I was able to get up to 85g in games and up to 94g in tests after turning off the power savers to achieve a consistent 4.3GHz. 2. Uses deceptive methods with the frequency and voltage when the power savers are active in order to maintain an acceptable heat pack within the constraints of the system. This is not about being in an idle state or using 2D applications; rather, it is about testing and games that require consistent performance. Activating the maximum power limit on the motherboard makes it possible to view a picture of such cheating less frequently. However, this does not completely eliminate the issue; the processor will still attempt to "take another break." 3. Price. I paid 22,500 for the BOX version in the beginning of March, but I still believe that this price is unreasonable; more information may be found in the comments. 4. The policy of Intel is frustrating. Processors marked with a "K" are nothing more than a marketing gimmick. If the company were truly interested in customer satisfaction, it would unlock the multiplier for all of its models, just like AMD does. This policy stinks to high heaven. Users who desire the ability to personalize it themselves will be disappointed.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Do not pay attention to those individuals who want 4.7-5.0 hertz with an aluminum tower that has a 120 fan and who are using a case that does not have ventilation and who are shouting that the stone is hot, how unlucky I was, and that I should consider purchasing AMD. and blah blah blah. Intel is like a person crying "save-help"; they have no idea how to create chips! The dropsy, remain quiet, silent loop 360 brings the necessary chill to the situation. copper radiator, and three 120 mm…

Pros
  • review of the high frequencies associated with the 8700k (at the moment, 4.7 hertz at a voltage of 120228, I don't drive further since it doesn't make sense, but obviously you can handle 5 hertz without tension). When it comes to any games with a difficulty setting of 100%, the processor is undeniably good and strong. The temperature of the cores, and not the temperature of the processor itself - in Hades 64, it is underestimated by the processor - was 26 degrees while it was idle in the winter, but it is currently (May 2022) between 32 and 34 degrees. Under load in games, it is between 50 and 55 degrees. 6 cores and 12 threads (the frame rate immediately increased by 20–25 frames, when viewed on a monitor with a refresh rate of 3440–1440,100 hz)

Excellent product, the best quality.

Here are some specs about my computer's performance: RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 DIMM 2666MHz PC4-21300 CL16 - 16Gb KIT (2x8Gb) - Motherboard GigaByte Z370P D3 - Video card GigaByte GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming 1830MHz PCI-E 3.0 8192Mb 14000Mhz 256 bit HDMI 3xDP - SSD 256Gb - Samsung 860 PRO MZ-76 In that case, this stone is cooler than the DeepCool Gammaxx GT. I feel compelled to emphasize its significance here. If you and your friends are experiencing difficulties with heat dissipation, try…

Pros
  • The ability to perform, to adapt, to overclock, and to be easily overclocked.
Cons
  • Removal of excess heat. However, this is no longer a given. It's difficult to find an analogy. There was once a computer, but I opted to devour its entire system because it was purchased in the year 2022. It would be an understatement to say that I was pleased with what I saw on the brand-new display (a Samsung C24FG70, in case you were wondering). Exquisite performance in Wolfenstein, Destiny 2, and Grand Theft Auto 5. Before I started measuring, everything seemed fine. At first, I was concerned since the video card was so hot to the touch. However, after installing GPU-Z and reviewing the statistics, he felt much more at ease: everything seemed to be operating normally, and the temperature was never higher than 65 degrees. However, after starting GTA 5, I noticed that the CPU temperature had already reached an alarming 98 degrees and was occasionally jumping up to 100 degrees in the span of a few seconds. On the other hand, I didn't mind it when the CPU temperature in other games stayed below 70 degrees. A friend of mine who "ate the dog" on assembling strong systems convinced me that you don't need to deal with cooling on the next generation, so I need to make a reservation right away. I, for one, thought So, I put in a DeepCool Gammaxx GT and used some standard thermal paste. I also added a brand-new 4-fan system unit to the pile. Never in a million years could I imagine how much this would alter things: in the same GTA, temperatures rarely get beyond 75 degrees and typically hover around 69 degrees. The maximum temperature in silent mode is 41 degrees. I can attest to the rapid escalation and descent in temperature described. A quick summary: invest on good cooling if you want to purchase this processor. ! In the notes, I evaluated the data and suggested next steps. Overclockers need not apply: they will be of help to the fools who have already found a margin in this stone. Don't be a slacker; read. It's my hope that this data will put to rest any misconceptions about this processor's supposed heat production.

The recommended price is ten below the one in December 2022. Does 7700k - 12022 units, 8700k - 16274 units on the bench! That is, thanks to Ryzen, Intel added 2 cores, and who would need it? In general, the growth in comparison with the 7th generation is not thick - all the same 10 percent))) Some pros: +2 cores + 4 threads ________________ 12 threads and 6 cores, up to 4.7 GHz Different cons: price in December 2022 - 31,000 own chipset - 300 series, not compatible with the previous one on the…

I’m generally satisfied with the purchase, but since I assembled a PC for games, I overdid it, for my 2070 percent it’s too strong, although this is also a plus, it makes no sense to change it for another 3-4 years exactly and calmly change the card later (I thought 9600k but the difference in price was practically 0 and there was no desire to lose 2 cores just like that) With overclocking, I already wrote everything, it’s very capricious

Pros
  • It's about 9700k mother Aorus z390 ultra Cooling Dark Rock pro4 Bought the boxed version on amazon for 20k good speed In my case, I got an average stone (well, at least not the worst) In TB it keeps stable 4.6 on all cores In ms 4.9 for all I overclocked it with handles to 5GHz on all cores without offset at LLC8, at 1.345v stability passes with avx and without increasing the max to 1.38v (the pace was on the hottest core 82c)
Cons
  • Very picky stone At first, I didn’t touch the BIOS at all, I ran a couple of tests, looked at the performance and was a little shocked At 4.6 TB in a stress test, a pebble can easily ask the mother for a voltage above 1.4v, devouring in the region of 130-150 watts, when turned on on the MCE mother, the picture is even worse, the voltage jumped up to 1.45 volts and eating up to 200 watts When buying, immediately climb and set with handles, this is not even a recommendation!

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

In general, the processor is excellent. If you do not do something other than games and not professionally prof. applications, then a very suitable processor. I'm dragging games + stream at the same time, but I set the processing to no more fast - very fast - since the cooler will no longer pull. Therefore, I recommend taking a good cooling system.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I snatched one single OEM copy for 24k (10/30/17). Until recently, I did not believe that I really managed to make a reservation for this stone and was afraid that this would turn out to be another mistake of the call center, as in other popular stores. I am satisfied with the purchase. Before that, there was an i5 4670K, and not that I noticed any wild FPS difference in games, but the picture became smoother (stable). But in rendering, the difference is noticeable. I took it in conjunction…

Pros
  • The advantage is the reason why you buy this particular processor. And if in detail, then these are 6 cores and 12 threads at a good frequency. I also consider TDP equal to 65, and not 95, as with the "K" option, as a plus.
Cons
  • Market shortage There are no other cons, so be it.
