Reviews around gaming (4.74 of 5)

  • If you like gaming and overclocking, this is the best CPU to get for Z270 platform
  • This is the fastest and best gaming CPU on the market for the price range
  • For now, this is all I need, and does great gaming performance.
  • This CPU works great at handling my everyday task, its cooled great by my corsair H60 water cooler, and is fitted in my MSI Enthusiastic Gaming
  • While idling I periodically would see vastly different temperatures on each core

Reviews around upgrade (4.30 of 5)

  • The upgrade from an i5-4460 to this is so outstanding that I couldn't be happier
  • Perfect upgrade from the i5 to enhance my video and system performance.
  • Great proc running real well in my gaming rig solid upgrade from any i5.
  • I retired my 5 year old Ivy Bridge i5 3570K that was running at 4.5ghz, and this has been a significant upgrade for gaming
  • This processor was a pretty ridiculous upgrade over my 1st gen i7 930 and has left me in a great place for future proofing.

Reviews around system (4.21 of 5)

  • My advice for people complaining about the CPU overheating, get a decent cooling system or you'll be wasting your money.
  • The only down side to this chip is how hot it run average about 38-42c on the package at idle which is very high given that I have a custom loop cooling the system.
  • Works great, however requires a high end water cooling system
  • , it's very easy to overclock as long as you have a good cooling system
  • I could go to a water-cooling system, but that meant more down-

Reviews around solution (4.21 of 5)

  • Your results may vary depending on your cooling solution
  • While idling I periodically would see vastly different temperatures on each core
  • I have a high end cooling solution and I would expect it to run a bit cooler
  • They run a little on the hotter side but with a proper 3rd party cooling solution it's no problem
  • Even with a proper cooling solution that should cool the CPU I'm still seeing temps on load above 70c

Reviews around cool (4.09 of 5)

  • Just make sure to install a good CPU cooler, either quality fan/heatsink or water cooled unit
  • Intel blames people for overclocking it and not using a good enough cooler
  • If you have a wimpy water-cooler, I'd be ready to push-pull fan it.*EDIT*4.6 GHz overclock (lowest possible increment in gigabyte bios) ran it into dangerously high temp territory... 96C with spikes higher
  • is always at 70-75 C if i'm stress testing and 31 C at ideal with a constant VoltIf i enabled Adaptive voltage from My Asus Maximus formula the temp goes down to 25 CA great processor with a great Overclocking potential
  • Therefore, if I could do this build again I would highly recommend to get a cheap, under $40 aftermarket air cooler and spend the rest of your budget on a GTX 1080ti as my GTX 1080 is now now the bottleneck

Reviews around performance (4.08 of 5)

  • Really hurting performance and my overall first time experience using your products, remember I was an AMD fanboy, now I am slightly regretting this change
  • Meltdown and spectre design flaw fixes can degrade the performance by 30%
  • The fact that this chip stays as cool as it does is impressive and also speaks well concerning the performance of the 212 EVO cooler
  • Why would I pay $150 more for an 1800x that was inferior in many scenarios to the best i7?Furthermore, many professional reviewers easily found flaws with the Ryzen 7 (including a bizarre performance drop off at 1080p gaming).
  • Great performance so far, no need to OC as I'm getting great numbers out of the box.

  • With the proper DDR4 RAM memory tuning, Ryzen is 1% faster than i7-7700k at the same clockspeed, it costs $40 more, and has twice as many cores as this ripoff product.
  • They should have mentioned this on their product description so they wouldnt buy the wrong product

Reviews around thing (3.67 of 5)

  • Really recommend water cooling because if you do overclocking in any way which includes turbo this thing gets HOT
  • About the only thing wrong with it, is the fact that it arrived with a huge dent in the box that the cpu was housed in.
  • Except even while UNDERCLOCKING and WATER COOLING the CPU, the thing still has temp spikes into the 80s while IDLE
  • While this thing is screaming fast and performs very well you may want to take a hard pass on this one and go with a 6700k or an AMD Ryzen build.
  • this thing is decent powerful, but it runs insanely hot

Reviews around price (3.64 of 5)

  • I don't really have much else to say, it's a powerful, reliable processor at a respectable price.
  • it runs in the low 40s C at idle and in the mid 70s c when stressed
  • After making my build, I kind of regret staying loyal to intel after all these years and not going with a Ryzen CPU, just seems like a much better price to performance proposition after watching all of the reviews.
  • Yes it is "the best" in the bracket for gaming, but the price and the lack of real progress from the last generation is very disappointing
  • Otherwise the price isn't that bad for the gaming performance provided

Reviews around temp (3.41 of 5)

  • Performance is great, great overclocker, but out of the box temps are some what questionable, around 45C idle temp with ~20C ambient.
  • Im certain upon delidding this thing I could easily get 5ghz+ with safe temps
  • They could have soldered this chip for better temps, but no
  • Amazing and with a dual fan cooler the temps are amazing
  • I mean, playing a few rounds of Overwatch and surfing the internet shouldn't push a CPU to crazy temps

Reviews around heat sink (2.65 of 5)

  • If you have Read all this, Just to Sum this all Up, all K series CPU are "Uses at your own risk" and Have nothing short of absolute a water Cooling or Top of the Line Air Cooler heat sink
  • Does not come with a heat sink since it's unlocked and can be overclocked.
  • That said, as well as the fact that this stress test is a hilariously unrealistic load, some users might consider this configuration to be perfectly fine
  • Sure, it's great that Ryzen performs as well as and costs half as much as a $1k
  • So now that Ryzen is out, you may be wondering why get the i7-7700K?

Reviews around temperature (2.63 of 5)

  • It randomly shoots up to insane temperatures while doing NOTHING
  • Many of the old systems I built would simply freeze or shut down in this situation, but this CPU gracefully steps back from the dangerous temperatures

  • I've used Prime 95 both 26.6 and the latest version and they both bring the temps to 100C while load is creeping up to 10% in Real Temp

Reviews around bite (2.23 of 5)

  • 6700 is a great cpu no question but 7700 is new and little bit more improved so its better
  • Staying cool at 39 idle 45 loaded with a v8 gts cooler and T T core x9 air cooled case.
  • Much needed upgrade from the intel i5 4690K CPU as it was lagging a bit and couldn't handle a simple stream from OBS until I made the upgrade with the MSI Z270 motherboard and the boot up is faster than the old one.
  • If you're needing an upgrade and are a bit too impatient to wait for the new AMD Ryzen (which is supposed to be as fast as the I7 6800k) get this or the 6700k if you wanna save a few bucks
  • Probably should've done better research, only fully supported by Windows 10, put this in other build with windows 8, things were a bit rough for a while, but after the update things are working wonderfully
