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

<Edit: Future me here. This review aged about as well as the 7700k itself. >

Rates as UFO on User Benchmark & is a very good CPU. For anyone who might wonder though it is not good for gaming unless you have a dedicated graphics card. So the person who answered my question & said it was great for no video card gaming on 1080p, they lied! Any way I am running it with an RX 560 4GB right now on my UHD 52 TV on low settings unless video cards come back down to reasonable prices again & it works fine for the games I play. If you do not game or need use of powerful graphics its great for surfing the web, watching videos & streams. Otherwise I advise you find or have a video card if you want to game or what ever.

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.

Item as described

Me gustó la nueva generación de intel...eficiente para mis trabajos...juegos ectra..

...some of the draw backs are basically runs VERY hot even at idle compared to other generations (stays at 40+ C with 24 C ambient temp), but I concede I think I may need to adjust my case fan speeds to get a more aggressively positive pressure airflow in the case. HOWEVER< it barely gets much hotter under full load so perhaps I have tuned fairly well...

Despite the stigma with the 11th Gen CPUs, the performance of the 11700K is definitely worth going for. The only scenario I would say its not recommended is if the 12600K/12700K is available for a close price, in which case one would have to account for the additional cost with the Z690 motherboards as well as DDR5 if thats the choice.

The CPU works great. It is super fast and was quite easy to install. Highly recommend it. Would not hesitate in buying again.

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.
