Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake 8th Gen 6-Core 3.7 GHz LGA1151 Intel UHD Graphics 630 Desktop Processor | BX80684I78700K

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!***

Primero agradecer a Amazon las facilidades que nos brinda con envío gratis y toda su política. Gracias. Este procesador es ideal tanto para jugar, como trabajar en 3D o cualquier tipo de uso.. Ventajas: -Gama Alta, calidad & precio garantizado -CPU cores 6 -Threads 12 Desventajas -No trae disipador, tienes que comprar uno aparte, por suerte en Amazon tenemos muchísima variedad, tanto de aire como refrigeración líquida por poco mas de 60€ -En pocos meses saldrá la nueva generación de procesadores icelake, fabricados a 10nm, pero si no puedes esperar tanto tiempo, este procesador es el tuyo

Super super recomendo melhor processador que existe no atual momento porem o preço um pouco alto mais com todas taxas do brasil não poderia ser mais barato mais enfim recomendo parabéns para quem adquirir este produto.
