Excellent product, the best quality.

I was afraid that it would be hotter, I don’t understand why they drive him if he drags everything you want) it accelerates up to 4.7! the sensations after I5 3470 are stunning! if everything is installed correctly and using normal thermal paste, then it will not warm up above 45-50! average torturing him all day 45 with a Noctua NH-U12S fan (with a head for all tasks)

Pros
  • Huge potential if they don't change the base again!
Cons
  • price

Best price for this product, will buy more!

Apparently I was lucky with the distribution of the thermal interface under the lid, but this is a lottery! Its pros: Feedback about 8700k. At a manually set voltage of 1.25v at a frequency of 4800 MHz for all cores in OCCT, after 10 minutes the maximum temperature of the cores stopped at around 70 degrees . without scalping. In linX 0.7.0 at this voltage, it is stable only at 4700 MHz for all cores, the temperature is 75 degrees after 15 minutes of warming up. Top cover classic arctic mx-2…

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

8700 + cooler Noctua NH-U14S, thermal paste used from the cooler in the kit In the Aida64 stress test, I didn’t see a temperature above 57 (from 5 to 10 minutes, maybe I’m doing something wrong ?), the temperature in everyday use is on average 30 degrees. In the BIOS, the speed of the CPU fans was in the standard mode of about 1050 rpm on average, now it has been set even lower, the temperature has not risen. I don't understand how people get such hot temperatures with this stone. I bought in…

The perfect product for any user!

For a stable FPS in any game, it’s enough without problems, it doesn’t strain at all during games (with the exception of Supreme Commander, because it only uses 1 core and the game starts to lag when 100500 units appear on the map, live with it). I also render videos. 5 minutes at 1080p at 60 FPS with a bitrate of 28 million bps is done in 13.5 minutes, although with the FX 6300 I would have rendered such videos for 35-45 minutes most likely. This processor works together with the MSI GeForce…

Pros
  • - Powerful [more powerful than even the next generation, 9900k doesn't seem to outperform much, 4% somewhere, but it costs 15 thousand more] - I didn't think of anything else.
Cons
  • - Very high heat dissipation. It is indicated in the specifications that the power dissipation is 95 W, however, on my second computer I have an AMD FX 6300 with a similar power dissipation and the coolers for Intel and AMD are approximately the same, but the FX heats up to a maximum of 59 degrees. Intel heats up to 85 degrees. Later I found out that this was due to not very thoughtful air circulation in the case, however, even with the cover removed, max. temperature 75 degrees, still 15 degrees warmer than AMD! And they said that AMD is almost a stove, but for now it turns out to be the opposite, by the way, the TOP Ryzen, as I saw from the reviews, is also colder than the i7 8700k. So if you 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’s better to buy something better, of course, although in principle it is enough kind of like, but after AMD, 75 degrees of temperature strains a little. I will not put one point minus in the overall assessment, because it is more likely that my expectations were not met (and those were compiled from the words of several "experts"), but again I expected that this CPU would be colder.

Perfect product for any user!

review of 8700 without (k) Excellent stone. Everything that is required of him does "with a bang." I was afraid for strong heating, some wrote about it in reviews. But no. Everything is fine. above 65 even under 100% continuous load does not go. At idle 30-32, Cooler wanted to take a juicier one for him at first, like assassin ii or similar with 2 fans, etc. But the toad pressed its paw on the Adam's apple and I got by with quite the usual, cool gammax 400 for 1500. Paste bought stg2, a thin…

  • No

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

- When overclocked, it stably holds 4.7 GHz with a multiplier of 47 and a voltage of 1.27. But to remove heat, you will need either a good tower cooler or a water cooling system. - Not compatible with LGA1151 v1 socket - The release of Ryzen multi-core gave Intel a good kick, resulting in this gem. The speed with which the 8700K was launched into the series suggests that it was designed quite a long time ago and simply was not allowed into the series, either because of greed, or because of…

Pros
  • - Six cores, twelve threads - Floating frequency: from 4.2 GHz idle to 4.7 GHz under load. Theoretically, it should work at a nominal frequency of 3.7, but the frequency is usually not lowered below 4.2 due to the features of Turbo Boost 2.0 technology - Advanced 14++nm process technology - Finally official support for DDR4-2666 SDRAM - Unlocked multiplier for 8700K - Very attractive price, $360 for a practically flagship
Cons
  • - TDP 95 W - a blatant lie, at full load the consumption reaches 125 W, even higher in stress tests - Under the cover, there is not metallized thermal paste, like AMD has, but some kind of misunderstanding, due to which even with good cooling (Noctua NH-U14S), an unoverclocked processor heats up to 65 degrees under load, in idle - about 30. In stress In the LinX 0.7.0A test, the temperature of one of the cores rose to 88 (at +22 in the room), the data was recorded by Core Temp 12022. Poor thermal interface limits overclocking potential

I bought it at about $370 + motherboard, it cost a pretty penny to buy a motherboard based on a new chipset, but if it doesn't work, then logically, the budget segment (mAtx motherboards) will come out soon. I immediately started at 66 degrees, the BIOS shows a default of 3.7 GHz, but in the system immediately 1.3v per core and 4.3 GHz, we lower the voltage manually to 1.2v and the percentage works fine at a frequency of 4.5 GHz, at 1.3v you can unscrew it to 4.8, however, the combination…

Pros
  • Review of 8700k + Runs up to 4.8 in motherboard auto mode (msi z370 gaming m5) + The temperature after the scalp, under a single-section dropsy at 4.5 GHz, keeps 45-50 degrees in the load +6 cores / 12 threads, upgrade for several years ahead
Cons
  • -Starts only on z370 chipset -Default took 4.3GHz to 1.3v, it's sad that with such a voltage it drowns up to 75-85 degrees - Thermal paste under the cover (more in the comment)

In general, the purchase is satisfied. There is still a moment with support for additional dividers for the memory frequency - I can’t really start DDR4-3200. In 2133 mode it works fine, as you enter the mode from 2400 to 3200, the machine starts resetting the video card settings to 800x600 when the PC boots, and only after 5 seconds. restores everything. I hope it's temporary, and with subsequent bios ates Asus will fix everything.

Pros
  • Coffee Lake - 14++ nm, 6 cores, 12 threads. Really a technical shift, not the usual 5% performance increase. I took a frequency of 5 GHz without question, but I don’t need more. On a Deepcool Captain 120 EX water bottle and a mini itx Tristellar SW case, depending on the selected mode of operation of the PC cooling system (silent, standart, turdbo, full speed) in idle 35-50 C, under load above 67 was not seen in any of the operating modes cooling systems.
Cons
  • Due to competition with AMD and an earlier (almost a whole quarter) release, intel did not manage to release enough processors, which speculators did not fail to take advantage of. I did not have time to order for 27, an hour later in another store it was already 30, on the trail. the day the price tags were already 32, 35, 39, then when the price tag reached 41, I found it for 35,600 thousand. the old PC on 3770 has already left me.

I bought a CPU under the impression of reviews on youtube - they said that this is the best processor for games, that it is cold and the thermal paste is of high quality compared to 7700K. What can I say, I shouldn't have trusted the tests. Let's start with the most important thing: 95 W TDP is declared . this is a blatant, blatant lie! Since I was not going to drive it up to 5 GHz, I thought that was enough and put DeepCool Gammaxx 300 with TDP 130 - AS IF THERE IS NO THIS COOLER, the percent…

Pros
  • 6 cores; high performance per core; high fps in games
Cons
  • hot as a blacksmith's oven; the price bites; at the slightest acceleration, the heat does not have time to "spread" to the lid and the percent throttles; requires a cooling system >250W TDP.

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Well. something worthwhile from Intel. After the burned-out 7700K, I already thought about taking AMD, but unfortunately, the cooler is incompatible in the current configuration, I had to wait for a special mount that Cryorig sends for free, and the RAM was not on the AMD compatibility list, so I waited for this one and took it (almost for 26K, which is great, given the prices of speculators at 35-40K at the time of purchase). Accelerates with one toggle switch in BIOS up to 4.7 GHz. Aida's…

Pros
  • 6 cores, 12 threads. Overclocking
Cons
  • I don’t see it yet, I’ve only been racing for 2 days . Well, except that it’s incompatible with the Z270.

Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

Initially, I will say that I use the computer exclusively as a gaming one, various calculations do not interest me at all. Not so long ago I decided to completely change the system from 4790k to a fresh one. I took 3600 mhz memory, an aorus pro 390 board and this processor model (overclockable). I noticed an increase in performance only in Assassins, and then there turned out to be a penny. The i7-4790k coped with the rest of the tasks just as well. I won’t say that I regret that I decided to…

Pros
  • - Stable 6 cores and 12 threads - Good overclocking potential - There were no problems with installation / configuration
Cons
  • - Almost 0 sense in the power for games. - High price

Second-rate product, won't buy it again.

If you look at the previous line - then +2 cores or + 50% power - good progress. But if you look at competitors, then the I7-8700K is an extremely unprofitable purchase. You will not see the difference in games with Ryzen 1700/1600 (unless you are a fan of running the game at minimum 720p), but in terms of money, the difference is huge. And in addition, you need very solid cooling, and even cool cooling will not save you from temperatures of 80-95 degrees, when in Ryzen you can limit yourself…

Pros
  • - Intel has finally moved, otherwise since 2022 they have been releasing the same percent
Cons
  • - The performance is lower than that of competitors, the same Ryzen 7 1700 costs 2 times less, and gives out more in multi-threading. - Strong heating due to poor thermal interface. If Ryzen can be cooled with any cooler for 1000-1500, then for the I7-8700K you need a cooler for 3000-10000. - Necessity of the scalp. Without a scalp cap, you can't even expect to get a frequency above 4.7. The processor is very hot even in stock. - Exorbitantly high price. Competitors with the same performance are 2 times cheaper. -Stillborn chipset. the Z390 is already planned. - Not enough processors. Intel was in a hurry to release and did not provide enough processors.

Review of 8086k I moved to it from 6800k, so I will build a review on comparison) I don’t play games, only work and there are no “equals” in the rendering speed of 6800k-6850k (in the sense of 6 nuclear scientists) . but it’s much more comfortable to work with graphics with 8086k because there is more performance per core and turbo boost delivers up to 5 GHz, in the end, you work all day, and render for 20 minutes, so it’s the speed of work and not rendering that is more important for me. Oddly

Pros
  • Nice quality box Limited Edition type only 50,000 copies (hard to believe in this) Not hot in stock Turbo boost works well Price (at the time of writing cheaper than 8700k) In 8086k, only selected chips are taken (judging by the tests, it looks like the truth)
Cons
  • Minus - multi-threaded performance in real work applications compared to 6800k-6850k (not counting all sorts of benches)

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I didn’t want to bother with overclocking and took it without the K index. I’m satisfied with the purchase. I put a thermalright macho 140 rev tower on it. A. In idle, the temperature fluctuates 28-33,! BUT! when you start applications, temperature jumps up to 50-55 occur, this is apparently due to the fact that the voltage is growing, etc., etc. I don’t know how critical this is for his work, maybe someone will answer this in a comment, but I think it doesn’t matter. In games, the temperature…

Pros
  • 1. Nimble (6/12 after all) 2. Large power reserve for the future 3. Good embedded core
Cons
  • 1. High TDP 2. Thermal paste under the cover (although I don’t think it’s so critical for a processor without overclocking), as a last resort, it will be possible to scalp in the future

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

With the cooling of Dark Rock 4, the temperature in LinX did not rise above 76 degrees, in non-synthetic tests 62-67C. If compared with analogues of the 6.7 generation, then the performance increase will be noticeable, compared to the 8700 it will be about 10-15%. But there are 6 cores against 8. Therefore, for an upgrade from scratch or old hardware, a good option. For an upgrade of the previous generation is doubtful. AMD, in principle, did not consider due to hemorrhoids with memory…

Pros
  • Core i7-9700: Finally 8 full cores. Solder instead of paste, which has a good effect on temperature indicators.
Cons
  • No.

I don't know what temperature is considered normal for this processor. My old i7 930 didn't get above 60 degrees under load, the new i7 8700k is 15 degrees hotter. If you listen to Intel, then you can safely heat up to 90 degrees. But how long will he live with these temperatures? Different pros: Excellent performance. My previous i7 930 served me for almost 8 years, but I had to change it because of the latest games. I hope the new one lasts just as long. Has some cons: 1. Strange behavior of…

I'm satisfied with it, there are only some small flaws.

I really like the performance, in games it's faster than the ryzen 1800x - the last one I used for two months, so I can say so. It is not clear how the temperature sensors work, the data is given out feverishly, even in idle time they can indicate 70 degrees, while in downloads up to seventy it may not bounce. I put the cooler with a 4-pin fan on the car, and the disco began, the speed changes from minimum to maximum every couple of seconds, both under load and idle. I noticed when the…

Pros
  • Productive, six sound, twelve stream
Cons
  • Price, chipset, thermal interface

I experimented with a heat pack using turbo bust 2. A slight increase in performance was achieved due to a noticeably greater warm-up of the processor and an increase in the noise level. Roughly equivalent to using the I7-8700K. I left the default mode, but I mean turbo bust 2 in case of critical situations in terms of performance. It seemed interesting that the behavior of the I7-8700 under stress tests is significantly different from the behavior of the I7-3930K. In the case of, for example,

Pros
  • The task was to create a lightweight graphics station for home use. I was looking for a compromise between power, system unit size and noise under load. As a basis, I took the I7-8700 with a 65 watt thermal package. Acceleration was not expected. The choice of Intel was due, among other things, to high performance in low-threaded applications. Compared with an old computer on a non-overclocked I7-3930K. The new machine turned out to be about one and a half times faster in all tasks. In some cases, the advantage was about 80% due to the use of AVX. All this while reducing energy consumption by 2-2.5 times. The result is a cool and almost silent machine in a mini ITX case with abundant wall perforations (no noise protection).
Cons
  • For the application in question, the I7-8700 is currently optimal.
