Intel® Core™ i7-11700K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 (Intel 500 Series & Select 400 Series Chipset) 125W

You will notice a difference going from i3 or i5 to this i7. Very reliable and things load much faster

Amazing boost in PC speed works very well with MSFS 2020

I preordered this cpu and got it on the release day, coming from the 4th gen i7 4790k its a huge leap, its a great processor and handles everything I have thrown at it extremely well while only getting 70C max with an average of 64C while gaming. Best yet, it has PCI-E 4.0 Support and I gained an extra 20-30 frames with my RTX 3080 in Modern Warfare (average of ~160 fps with everything on ultra and ray tracing on). Highly recommended for an upgrade.

My first upgrade since generation 4 i5-4670k, its fantastic. I chose an Asus Z590 Prime, Corsair Capallex 110, RM 650W PSU. A learning curve on overclocking since 2010, I spent equally as much in ram, mobo and cooling but worth every cent. Youll still need graphics if running under GeForce 1000 Series, but my perfermance with a 960Gtx is phenomenal. Its an Intel entusiasts dream, and I agree: ignore the one star reviews. I wont make a Ryzen comparison, other than my title, I do believe AMD is doing less with more changes but just my opinion. Are threads, cores and nanometers winning? I have my doubts. Nonetheless this is Intel back on its game!

It can get really hot, I was worried because I was only cooling it with a 120mm AIO, I called intel themselves and found out that this thing doesnt even start thermal throttling until °100c, its done everything I bought it for and it does it pretty well.

This was an open box and it was dead on arrival. Now I am still waiting on my refund as of July 8th.

this replaced my 10 year old i7 but doesnt seam much of a speed change what a joke 10 years and a small improvement. In every day use just ok the User Bench Mark test shows a good improvement of 40% but I dont notice it.

This CPU is a beast mode : for gaming, and performance high end computing at at reasonable price.

Muy buen procesador, quería esperar a la generación 12 pero seria lo mismo porque después querría esperar a la generación 13 y nunca comprare ninguno, este 11 para los juegos va de lujo por mucho tiempo, le hice una prueba de esfuerzo multi core y la temperatura maximo es de 74 grados, si eres una persona que le gusta jugar recomiendo este cpu.

Works great
