Review on Processor Intel Core i7-7700 LGA1151, 4 x 3600 MHz, OEM by Vassil Ivanov ᠌

You will probably have to invest in an efficient cooler, and / or scalp the stone after the warranty expires, 90 degrees for the processor is unhealthy. Otherwise, everything suits, the performance is quite expected. Has some pros: Good performance per core. A very large selection of motherboards for 1151 sockets. Its cons: It gets surprisingly hot. I installed a Scythe Kotetsu cooler (thermal paste - arctic cooling mx4), which cooled my previous processor - Phenom II x6 at 3.5 GHz. But! If the temperature of the ancient six-core monster at 45 nm and the declared tdp of 125 W did not rise above 64/66 degrees, then the i7 (14 nm and 91 W) is already at stock frequencies and the same fan speeds (1200-1300 rpm) in games the temperature can reach up to 85-92 degrees. There is no throttling, it seems (at least I didn’t notice friezes, I’ll have to drive it out in AIDA64), but still, it’s a bit too much for the processor. Even my GPU does not heat up to such temperatures. Well, integrated graphics are not needed from the word at all.
