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

Got this for a new gaming rig I was setting up. The first Amazon package came as an empty box. The CPU box had clearly been compromised at some point at the Amazon Warehouse (I'd have to assume) and it had no CPU inside, only the documentation. Amazon was quick to send me a new one, and it wasn't a huge setback since I was still awaiting the motherboard and case. Second package arrived just fine. You know what you're paying for here. This is a really high performance CPU with the capability to be overclocked to your heart's content, and (while nothing is "future-proof") it should stay relevant for a few years to come. Paired with a nice GPU (1070 GTX in my case) it's able to run literally anything I throw at it. Shadow of the Tomb Raider can run with nearly all settings maxed out/at high. It blasted through most stress tests I threw at it, and managed to score a 1456 on Cinebench's CPU test, hitting only 71 deg C at most. This CPU (obviously) comes with no dinky stock Intel cooler, so I'm using a Corsair H100i v2 for cooling here, and it pays off in BOUNDS. I can OC stable to 4.9GHz (what I have it running at now) and it runs cooler, both at idle and under load, than my last CPU did with its beefy Coolermaster heatsink/fan. Albeit, the radiator fans can get a bit noisy at times, but I've been tweaking my OC profiles to reduce noise and I've gotten the noise factor down a bit. Overall, I'm immensely satisfied. This is the first time (since the days of the 8800 GTX) that I've had a "relevant" gaming PC, something that can actually run modern AAA titles, and my quality of life has improved drastically as a result. No more FPS drops when I try and watch Twitch while playing Overwatch. No more stuttering and lagging when the OS decides to run some CPU-intensive garbage in the background while I'm gaming. It's pretty amazing. Here's the full build, for anyone interested. I wholeheartedly recommend this build to anyone looking to upgrade or build their first gaming PC, and it's relatively budget friendly compared to pre-built options, especially if you can snag some or all the parts on sale: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor Corsair - H100i v2 70.69 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Asus - PRIME Z390-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Kingston - A400 120 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card NZXT - H500 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case Corsair - 850 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Whole build totaled out to about $1,300 after mail-in rebates.

My second computer build i decided to build with Intel this time and it has been a much easier process to setup and overclock. I purchased the 8700K when it was new more than a year ago and have been using it since. Coming out of the box already running at 4.7GHZ on all cores is super impressive. I have always been a hound for speed so this makes it easy for me. Overclocking is a snap with Intel's easy overclocking utility that comes with alot of tools for stability testing as well. I tended to use Intels software for benchmark runs, and my Motherboard software for daily driving overclock. Now not every chip is the same and even if you have an 8700k, you may not see the same performance that i have been lucky to achieve. It's called the silicon lottery for a reason and I think I just got lucky. My Results are as such: highest Overclock achieved was 5.3 GHz on all cores. no problems and it worked just fine. For normal use i leave it at a nice and round 5 GHz and temps have not gone past 55c with a corsair AIO liquid cooler. So temps dont get hot, and it overclocks and is happy to sit there with no problem. I really dont know what else i could ask for since 6 cores/12 threads is more than enough for any workload i currently throw at it. In all gaming performance, i have not encountered any issues that are CPU related. Overall i couldnt be happier with my CPU. Pros: High Clock Speed Easy to overclock 12 Threads Cons: At time of writing is more expensive than a 9700K

The i7-8700K runs very well, I have 3 profiles where I overclock it to 4.2 GHz, 4.5 GHz, or 4.8 GHz according to my needs. The system will run at 4.9 GHz stably. Using the Cryorig CP7 thermal paste (9.3 W/mK) that was included with the cooling tower. Ambient temperature in my house is about 24 C. The CPU maintains temperatures of 33 C when idle & 40 C under load with air cooling on the 4.5 GHz profile which I use most. Even on the 4.8 GHz profile the temperature remains about the same on idle, but will go up to the mid 40s under load (42-45 C). I've ordered another cooler & will update in September or October when it releases/arrives.

Worked very well, I bought this to upgrade my gf's pc and it did its job. I chose the used option and even then performed as expected. Definitely recommend.

Bought this on Oct 6., was finally delivered on Nov. 5. I had been buying parts since July and really was excited once I knew it had shipped so I was ready to do the mods I wanted to before turning on the first time. With the CPU out of its box and ready for action, I immediately delidded with Rock-It kit. Cleaned off Intel's TIM and replaced with Phobya liquid metal. Resealed with Rock-It kit and black RTV leaving the extra spot for heat expansion that you'll see once you delid. Let dry overnight and NOW came the time to build exactly just one month after ordering. Placed an ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 into a very nice Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass (I have bought Phanteks for my last two builds and this case has impressed me beyond what I could have expected). Next, I placed the CPU into the board and installed a Kraken x62 (with replaced fans using 4, Corsair ML140 in push/pull) for cooling. I decided to go with Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut between the 8700K and the x62 . 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. So, off to installing a Samsung 960 M.2 for Windows and two Crucial BX300 - 480GB in RAID 0 for games along with a Seagate 4TB for bulk storage. An EVGA 1000 SuperNOVA G3 80Plus Gold went in for power as it would need to help deliver power to all these goodies along with an ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080Ti 11GB Gaming for Battlefield1 ... CoD4, DiRT 4, GTAV, and some of my other recent favorites. My RAM choice was the G.Skill Trident RGB 32GB 3600.G.Skill 3600 and they slid in without issue. First boot finally!!!! Into the BIOS I dived to check temps and set up the RAID and memory XMP. With the Kraken I was idling at 26, so I set up the RAID and went on to install windows/drivers/updates along with all the CAM software for the Kraken and NZXT Fans. A quick reboot just to make sure everything was nice and smooth, which it was (phew), so one more reboot into BIOS to try for a pretty aggressive first OC. I pushed the 8700K to 5.1 GHz and pushed the G.Skill to 4133. Save changes, reboot, palms sweaty hoping I had maybe got a little lucky in the silicon lottery and would end up with a nice fast and quiet machine. SUCCESS, as I easily went Into windows. Launched Prime95, full Torture Test with MAX LOAD... temperatures of... 62C!!!!! Same temperatures were seen in Heaven as I played with the OC on the 1080 and even saw a 1 degree drop with some linpack testing. Looking at other reviews, it looks like delidding worked for me in this setup and I am glad I did it. Because of the temps, the fans on the Kraken are barely audible along with the other case fans. Needless to say, this thing hums along nicely at 5.1 GHz with the RAM at 4133. Gaming is an absolute joy and day-to-day operations move with ease and fluidity. I am very happy with this CPU among all the other goodies and highly recommend it. If you decide to delid it, I wish you luck (just take your time) and great temp reduction.

Quite good, one of the best for games currently. Top 3 right now are 8700k, 9700k and 9900k, and you can include 8086k (if you can find it), but it will be around $600, and who wants that when you got 9900k for ~$510 I had 8700k fail on me, so I replaced it with 9700k, 8700k was hotter, but needed less voltage if you were to set it at 4.7 ghz, on 9700k I can't even keep CPU stable at 1.3volts for 4.7, on 8700k I could at 1.21 volts. Feel the difference? Thermals are better on 9700k, with same cooling, if comparing to 8700k. It is slightly faster in games then 8700k, but slightly slower anywhere else while using PC. If you are choosing between the two you can't go wrong with either, but mine cannot even keep stock settings without crashing games. 8700k ran stable, needed less voltage too, so it was cooler because of less volts. I didn't feel like overclocking 8700k to 5.0, I kept it nice and cool. I can't downclock 9700k to anything in comparison. So I kept it stock, but it kept crashing in AIDA 64 with hardware failure message. Also getting bluescreens, etc. I do believe I got a bad chip/bad silicone this round, so I am returning this, and bought 9900k as a replacement. If you get a good 9700k chip, you will get better gaming experience than 8700k. If you stream and do rendering get 8700k, but in Adobe Premiere 9700k is better, because it has real cores, and not threads, so in other words both are good, but neither is better than another. The best for gaming now is 9900k, but you need better cooling. 8700k was quiet hot, and needed more cooling in comparing to 9700k. Hope that helps you choose. As long as you get good chip 8700k/9700k will be perfectly fine. I like 8700k better because it was snappier altogether, but 9700k was better in games. So yeah...both good But leaving 4 stars due to getting bad chip, it could have been higher, but I am not gambling with my time no more. 9700k is soldered, 8700k is not soldered, so this is why 9700k is cooler. Keep that in mind.

So far so good, this thing is a beast. I upgraded from a Core i5 7500 which I used mainly for office work and some training. I wanted to get into PC gaming so I decided to upgrade some components. This is an extremely worthy upgrade from the 7500 and loving the multi threading. Went with the 8700K over the 9700K because of the multithreading as I may need some workstation functionality in the near future. Paired it with an ASUS Tuf Z390 Gaming Plus motherboard and it was easily overclocked to 5GHz and was stable for a short time. Whether or not that speed has any longevity, I have no idea yet. Even at stock speed it is clearly much, much faster and more efficient than the 7500 (apples to oranges comparison, but still). Would suggest to anyone looking for an upgrade at a reasonable price/performance purchase

Easy to install, came with some cooling paste as well however I used a different one. It's working perfectly and I have had it working most days for about a month now.

Fastest enthusiast CPU currently available, bar none. This is the first Intel CPU I've bought other than an i3 ultrabook, being an AMD fan mostly. But I wanted the best I could get for VR, and this CPU DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! It's around 2.5x faster than the FX-6300 I upgraded from, and I'm positively floored with the performance boost. Combined with an MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon, 16GB of DDR4-3600, and an MSI 1070ti Duke, this this eats up everything I've thrown at it so far. VR is gorgeous and silky smooth, and load times are so quick I don't have time to grab a drink between levels anymore. Using the mobo's overclocking button, I'm getting a solid 4.5GHz on all cores with high 70s and low 80s temps using a Corsair H90140mm AIO to cool it. I have can't stop being impressed with this machine.

I bought this along with several other components for a brand new custom desktop. I chose Coffee Lake as it was the newest architecture and I had heard good things about its speed and overclocking potential; also having 6 physical cores is handy! Something to note is that CPU overclocked will outperform the extreme version of it’s predecessor for single core applications (e.g. gaming) but on multicore usage you’d be better off going for the extreme edition as it offers more raw power. I tend to multitask a lot on my PC hence the need for a beefy CPU. Usually running several applications such as CAD software, games, media creation programs, and sometimes even game creation services AT THE SAME TIME is very CPU (and RAM) intensive, so I chose to go with the I7 for the extra power and speed provided. The CPU itself came properly boxed, no heat sink included which I’m glad is the norm now as the stock heat sinks that intel used to provide were never enough! Also, the inclusion of a nice little sticker was good to go on the case 😉 Plugging into the motherboard was simple. Bearing in mind that your motherboard will have to support the 1151 socket for this to fit AND function. I went with a high-end board as to not bottleneck my system (see my other reviews for that item). Running tests, I am very happy. I used the built in overclocking utility in my motherboards BIOS and that managed to easily push it to 4.9Ghz which is better than I expected for automatic overclocking. The system runs stable and damn quick. I ran a Geekbench and Cinebench to test the performance of the CPU and have added the results as images. These results are from AFTER the Meltdown/Spectre mess. Even after the Meltdown and Spectre updates I haven’t noticed too big a slow down to be honest. My desktop keeps up with me well. In fact, I’m glad I went for the fastest model now to compensate for the reduction in speed across all devices. I’m so happy with this purchase, it’s worth the extra cash from an I5. If you need multitasking and speed work your budget around this. I recommend this product. Always happy with Intel. ***If you found this review helpful please don't forget to mark it as helpful below, thanks!***
