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

When rebuilding my failed desktop computer I had to buy a new motherboard which would not accomodate my previous CPU chip. I researched an i9 core but it really wasnt faster enough to spend the extra cash on one.

Just plain outstanding. Easy overclocking and rubs exceptionally cool.

I bought the 11700k for my gaming rig. With water cooling I’ve got it overclocked to 4.7ghz on all cores. Totally stable and never gets hotter than 60*C. With my 1080 ti it runs all games I’ve played on max settings with a minimum of 80fps at 2k ultrawide, and much higher for most games. Including Cyberpunk and Assassins Creed Valhalla.

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

May 2021 (sometime)- I decided the processor (I dont recommend you do that), it required a oven and a lot of patience. Long story short after delidding and applying liquid metal it dropped my Temps over 10C, I ran it that way for about 6 months before selling it to a friend but he hasnt had any issues yet either

Works exactly as I expected.

Be sure you have adequate cooling if you plan on over clocking. Nuf said.

Excelente CPU estaba preocupado, por los comentarios en internet acerca de que calienta mucho, pero casi lo tengo un mes y su temperatura base es de 28°C a 36°C realizando tareas ni tan pesadas ni tan basicas. Nota no lo uso para jugar, ni le he hecho overclock, pero va de maravilla.

8 Cores at this price? These are amazing CPUs without breaking the wallet. These prices used to be the price of quad core CPUs. So if you want the best bang for your bucks and not go with AMD, these are it. OCs well, runs at reasonable temperatures. Excellent processor.

Good CPU for general desktop use.
