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

My tech son recommended this to me as one of several parts we bought to rebuild my desktop computer so it would be Win 11 compatible. We looked at Gen 12 Intel chips, but they are only marginally faster than this one and much more expensive. From that viewpoint, this was a value purchase for a fast chip that is Win 11 compatible and probably not going to be obsolete for 3 to 5 years. It also has incredible specs and capabilities. It is a quality product that works well right out of the box. That is as good as it gets.

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

Quick little chip. Runs a little warm even on a 240mm aio @125 watts. Good value on sale since the 12 series just launched.

Closely matches 5800X (~97% across some synthetic benchmarks according to indep reviewers with meaningful lead in others) at lower price, with inclusion of iGPU, better reliability and availability (Also, ~same long-term power draw and better temperature than 5800X as well)! Excellent product if youre not waiting for Alder Lake later this year

Works great

Havent been able to test its max pottential. But it does the job. At least for now its working better than my i5-8400.

Works well, Over clocking was more of a learn as you go. 10/10 would recommend this CPU though.

Fast, reliable. Got 5ghz out of the box no oc

Better than the i9 11900k
