very fast. 16 core. greatest processor for gaming so far! can play all of the latest gaming titles with maximum fps better than amd's offering




runs better than my 3900x on a b660m ASRock pro RS board 240mmaio

I needed a Windows 11 compatible machine. So, I decided to go Intel. I purchased this processor for my ASUS Prime Z690-P MOBO. I am very pleased with the final build. I am not a gamer and I don't OC so I can't address performance data. 5-Stars

I was using a 3.2Ghz i5 CPU before. This new i7-7700K blows that one away in performance; with 4 cores and 2 threads per core. It's also unlocked, so I ran it up to 5Ghz and it ran fine, just made the fans run fast most of the time so I slowed it back down to 4.7Ghz. Now they only speed up for 5-10 seconds as the processor peaks. Great Value to give an older computer new life.

- Excellent performance, gained 1000 points on 3DMark Time Spy Extreme compared to the i7-4770k I had - Runs cool at full load. 34c in idle, 60c at full load at 4.9ghz on all cores. Using H100i v2, so I imagine air cooling would also keep the temps at acceptable temps even with overclocking.

My first AMD processor works as expected. Discrete graphics available It is nice to have the CPU cooler present in the box.

I'm using it since 4 weeks now, and it works as expected. Paired with and appropriate motherboard, you can unleash the full potential of this CPU, even if it's a locked sku. My ASUS mobo has a "performance mode" that allows the different components to work at higher voltage and frequency that is recommended by Intel, all that being managed by the BIOS, it's totally safe and within power and thermal limits. This sku being an F version, there is no integrated graphics, so I cannot talk about it. Franckly, whoever buys that kind of CPU will invevitably buy a high-end graphic solution anyways, so.

With this processor installed on a MSI Z97-GD65 motherboard, overclocking was no work at all. The processor runs normal at the 4Ghz and overclocked with no issues up to 4.4Ghz. Was shopping around for an AMD processor and 8 core, but decided to switch from AMD back to Intel for this install. So far, I must say I am happy with results.


PRO Games!

Wasn't sure what to expect from this. My last processor was AMD (bought in 2018) and it worked fine- just had to upgrade so my system could use windows 11. I do a lot of video editing and was just hoping for a little improvement in speed with this one- turned out it completes most things I do with video about 4 times faster than my old one.
