• Reviews around thing (3.45 of 5)

    Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.7GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W

    • The biggest problem is how expensive things become when you factor in all the things you'll probably need to buy
    • This thing would work great
    • Of course, at this point I wanted to boot to see how things looked temp wise but the rest of the build remained and at least we all know some fun was still to be had
    • This thing is seriously fast.
    • Needless to say, this thing hums along nicely at 5.1 GHz with the RAM at 4133.
    • This thing is awesome
    • Another nice thing with this chip is Intel seems to be working on getting better temp control as this also seems to run cooler than the 7700K, both liquid cooled and and overclocked to 4.8Ghz.
    • Out of the box, this thing smashes the performance of my 6700k @ 4.72 gHz
    • So many good things have been said about the
    • I run 1440p 150% Render Resolution at Max at a constant 144fpsDestiny 2 bumped up 5-10 frames in some areas and 20 fps other areas, definitely could notice and tell the difference between CPUsAnother important thing, I can finally watch things on my 2nd monitor (netflix, cabletv, etc.) without visible gaming performance impact
    • This things is fast
    • Most excellent CPU, but as others have said, I have to knock off a star for how hot this thing runs
    • GTX1080 GPU.The sad thing is motherboard choice (and price) for now.
    • I own a 7700K as well and this thing is noticeably faster and with the higher core count its no wonder
    • Since Windows XP Windows and Apple have a back end log of users on the system that periodically gets sent to the OS and this encryptic process as well as other things slow down computers.
    • This thing is awesome
    • Good thing it has a clear window to see the chip before opening the package.
    • I finally went Coffee Lake, and I'm fantastically amazed at how capable this thing is
    • This is so much better than the Skylake I replaced for this, it never does stupid things like freezing up or fail to start up.
    • This thing is super fast
    • The nicest thing for me is the CPU temp, which went from around 60 degrees when idle to now 37 degrees at idle and a mere 50 under full load, and my CPU fan speed is still not maxed out
    • Needless to say, this thing hums along nicely at 5.1 GHz with the RAM at 4133.
    • This is so much better than the Skylake I replaced for this, it never does stupid things like freezing up or fail to start up.
    • I can't say enough good things about this
    • Plus perfectly, the only bad thing is that it doesnt have too much protection for the camera.
