This is the fastest and best gaming CPU on the market for the price range

Too Hot but pure gaming Performance

Paired with the right motherboard and respectable RAM this makes for an amazing gaming experience

amazing gaming performance!!!

The i7 7700K is the best Gaming CPU out right now, i love this chip.

Gaming is a breeze, and everyday tasks are smooth

Great gaming cpu

Good for competitive gaming

I made this review after almost 9 months of everyday use to give an honest and fair review and came to this conclusion if you want a solid gaming experience go with the 7600k or 7700k but for overclocking

I have since gotten the 8th gen 8700k for $100 more and upgraded to the z370 MSI Enthusiast Gaming M5 board and am much happier with it, many people argue that it is not worth the price to upgrade from this to the 6 core newer version, and may be true if you can't sell your 7700k and board, but if you are starting from scratch fully GO WITH THE 8700K/300 series chipset, the boards are very little more in money and the cpu is $100 more but worth every penny and more

If you like gaming and overclocking, this is the best CPU to get for Z270 platform

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

Incredible gaming performance

Best gaming CPU on the market...

For now, this is all I need, and does great gaming performance.

Gaming couldn't be better, easy to overclock, runs better than a 4 legged animal.

Hands down the best gaming cpu on the market

easy 5.0g (;

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

While idling I periodically would see vastly different temperatures on each core

Thanks to watercooling, the hottest I can get this thing is

Not the fastest I own, but very close
