Review on πŸ’» Intel Core i7-8700 Desktop Processor: 6 Core, Up to 4.6 GHz, LGA 1151 300 Series, 65W Power Consumption by Adam Pietras ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

It can be overclocked to a frequency of 4.7 GHz and maintain that speed with a multiplier of 47 and a voltage of 1.27. You will, however, require either an effective tower cooler or a water cooling system in order to get rid of the heat. - Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the LGA1151 v1 socket. - The introduction of Ryzen multi-core gave Intel a healthy kick, which led to the creation of this magnificent thing. The lightning-fast pace at which the 8700K was introduced into the series gives the impression that it had been designed quite a while ago but was simply not permitted to enter the series for one of two reasons: either because of avarice, or because of assumptions about the market's lack of readiness for the mass manufacture of six-core processors.

Pros
  • - There are six cores and twelve threads total. - Floating frequency ranges from 4.2 GHz when it's not being used to 4.7 GHz when it is. Theoretically, it ought to function at a nominal frequency of 3.7, but in practice, the frequency is typically kept at or above 4.2 due to the characteristics of the Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. - Advanced technology for processes at 14 nm and smaller - At long last, support has been officially announced for DDR4-2666 SDRAM - The ability to unlock the multiplier for the 8700K - A very appealing pricing of $360 for what is essentially a flagship product
Cons
  • - TDP 95 W is an outright fabrication; at maximum load, the power consumption approaches 125 W, and it goes even higher in stress tests. Even with good cooling (Noctua NH-U14S), an unoverclocked CPU can reach temperatures of up to 65 degrees Fahrenheit while under load and approximately 30 degrees Fahrenheit when it is idle because there is not metallized thermal paste under the cover like AMD has. Instead, there is some kind of misunderstanding that causes this. Under pressure The data was captured by Core Temp 12022 and showed that during the LinX 0.7.0A test, the temperature of one of the cores reached 88 degrees Fahrenheit, despite the fact that the room itself was 22 degrees Fahrenheit warmer. Inadequate thermal interface limits the capacity for overclocking.
