Review on 💪 Powerful Intel Core i7-11700KF Desktop Processor | 8 Cores | Up to 5.0 GHz | Unlocked LGA1200 | Intel 500 & Select 400 Series | 125W by Amar ᠌

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

The processor is good, but when buying, you need to be aware that the manufacturer has greatly underestimated heat dissipation. If you use a limit of 125 watts, then the CPU never reaches the 5000 megahertz declared by the manufacturer, a maximum of 4.2-4.3. When the restriction is disabled, the CPU works as expected, but it doesn’t fit into the TDP, you need good cooling.

Pros

Performance

Cons

Huge heat dissipation and consumption. Yes, I tweaked the settings a little, but didn’t overclock it, the CPU operates in the range specified by the manufacturer, just without power restrictions and at the peak it was 318 watts, and under load in tests, an average of 220, with the declared manufacturer 125.
