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

So long as you keep this baby cool, youll be happy with the results. It runs and processes very well.

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!

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

I did a lot of research before I chose this CPU. I was either going to go with the Coment Lake i9 or this Rocket Lake i7. Everything I found pointed to this other than the fact that it gets warm easily, which it certainly does. I have had it under load and it never gets dangerously hot. Great CPU. Would recommend.

This is a massive improvement from the i7-8700k. It runs faster and at 20 Celsius lower temperature with a higher overclock. The additional cores make it useful for productivity as well as gaming.

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

Great cpu. My computer boots faster than my monitor wakes up. Programs open immediately and run well. The only down side to this cpu is that it eats 125 watts and produces quite a bit of heat. My case exhaust fans make noticeable noise keeping my case cool. Having said that, with proper cooling it is easy to keep the cpu under 70 c (under heavy load mine runs 58-65).

I know that there a lot of negative reviews for these 11th gen Intel chips but so far, its just what I needed. My computer was dying. I put this chip on an Asus board and I have had zero problems, other than my old graphics card dying a few weeks later.

Now with the i9-13900 series coming out this is two steps down from the top of the procesor market. It was just published that the new line was tested to 8.3gh. This line becomes the third choice and the i5s the poor cousins.

All signs point up. Stable on Msi pro wifi, runs like a stealth fighter. Using as work and gaming work horse.
