Description

The Intel Core i7 8700K has a LGA 1151 (8th + 9th-gen Intel) socket. Make sure your motherboard has the same socket, otherwise your processor won't work.

The Intel Core i7 8700K is a processor for enthusiastic gamers and video editors. The top-notch model of the 8th generation of Intel Core processors has 6 cores and 12 threads, which allows you to execute many tasks simultaneously. You can play a complex game and stream your progress live to your audience, for example, or edit multiple videos at the same time. With a speed of 3.7GHz, you can do this quickly as well. On top of that, you can overclock this processor for more computing power. This processor has an integrated video chip, so you don't need a separate video card.

Top tier CPU

  • Very fast
  • Affordable 6 core CPU
  • No cooler included
I'm using the Core i7 8700k along with a GTX 1080 Ti. You can do almost anything with it and it is easy to overclock. Beware that Coffee Lake motherboards have multicore enhancement enabled which is quite overcompensated with voltages.

Fantastic for a work station

  • Fast and reliable
  • Not a bottleneck for my 1080ti
  • 6 cores 12 threads are an improvement over the older quad core processors for processes that can take advantage of this
  • High temperature with poor cooling
This product is a very good processor (no CPU, that's the chip inside) but I want to clear up some misconceptions that are described in the reviews (do this in your own review as there is no report button). 1.) This processor will not drastically improve your gaming experience, games usually make little use of multiple cores so for gaming your processor doesn't really matter that much. For pure gaming, an I5 processor of the last 2 generations with 4 cores is sufficient as long as it can follow your graphics card and is not a bottleneck 2.) if you don't overclock you are better with the slightly cheaper 8700 variant, this is almost the same but only not unlocked for overclocking 3.) I read something like 16 theads posted in the revieuws on this I can only say sir you have no idea what you are talking about; take a good look at the specs, 6 cores 12 threads; 16 threads would be 8 cores
