Review: Highly recommend great CPU - After 5 years I still have this processor and the value for money is great, the processor is still running strong. The power consumption is I guess normal compared to other cpus. As stated above the stability is great, no issues at all with this CPU. I can watch games have 2 games on and the CPU tackles this multitasking easily.
Review: Great CPU for Introducing you into the 7th generation - Hello, I love this CPU, as things are much faster and smoother with better frame rates, especially when paired with NVIDIA GeForce Titan X Pascal 12GB GDDR5X (900-1G611-2500-000) . However, be warned that this processor does run warmer than some other CPU's I have had. I am saying this based on my setup alone having a water block on the CPU and using a very large case with 5 case fans and 4 additional fans on the radiators. I previously had the Intel Core i7-5930K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.5GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor BX80648I75930K which ran around 30-35 degrees Celsius on average with no high heat spikes, as cores where being used at 25-50% load (May all be because of it having 6 cores instead of 4). My case and fan setup: --- Case: Corsair Obsidian 900D CC-9011022-WW System Cabinet Tower (Black) --- Fans: Corsair ML120 Pro LED, Blue, 120mm Premium Magnetic Levitation Cooling Fan CO-9050043-WW . This processor, however, has heat spikes up into the 50-53 degrees Celsius range, with an average of 60 degrees Celsius for the whole CPU package when being stressed tested. I currently have a two water loops for my system, with one dedicated for CPU and the other for GPU. I keep this CPU cool with XSPC Raystorm D5 EX240 Water Cooling Kit , which uses pretty large diameter hosing-at least compared to the hosing on my GPU that uses EKWB. Due to the fact that I bought this CPU because i upgraded my motherboard, as my other died after year, I probably be moving to a custom loop by EKWB (As they make great products and have an easy to use 'Configuration Tool' for assisting with ALL the parts you need for your water cooling loop). One of the biggest reasons being my new motherboard has an already built in EKWB for the CPU Regulators, which i want to add to my CPU loop (MB: ASUS MAXIMUS IX FORMULA LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 Z270 ATX Motherboard ). I even may add one of their water blocks for the RAM as they make a very nice and easy way to do so. Once I add my new loop, which will use a three 120mm fan radiator, i will update my review about my new average temperatures.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this i7 and the 6700K one?**
A: They are about the same. The new 7th gen i7 is just better optimized with a slightly higher Ghz. If you buying a new CPU I would definitely recommend 7700k. But if you are upgrading from 6700k, then there is no need. Hope that I answered your question

**Q: Does the i7-7700k box include a heat sink?**
A: per Intel in warranty description: A boxed processor is sold in a factory sealed package that contains the processor, a fan-heatsink, product manual, and an Intel sticker. The product manual contains installation instructions and warranty terms and conditions. Be aware that Mobile and Enthusiast (edit:, i.e., 'k' models like the i7-7700k) SKUs  typically do not include a fan-heatsink. Each boxed processor carries a 3-year limited warranty.

**Q: Im confused about the "optane technology support". what is it excluded from? its suppose to work with z270 motherboards.**
A: Optane is Intel's name for the new flash memory that worked together with Micron to create.  It will be extremely fast, at *least* 10x the speed of existing SSDs.  The first devices that Intel will release will be small (not exactly sure how big) PCIe M.2 SSDs.  There will be a driver for these that will work on 200 level chipset motherboards and is suppose to cache and thereby speed up existing conventional storage drives.  We'll see.  The 'Optane' technology will not work with the current Z170, H170, etc. chipset motherboards even though the m.2 socket is the same.  Hope this helps - be glad to answer follow-up questions.

**Q: Is this the unlocked cpu and can i run this on a z170 board? With the 1151 socket**
A: Yes it is unlocked, and it will run on a z170 LGA 1151 motherboard, but to use all the features a z270 chipset motherboard would be needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Processor, Changed from AMD
*by J***S on September 29, 2017*

I recently had a hard drive failure on my desktop. Naturally, replacing the failed disk turned into a full on upgrade of my entire computer. I spent a lot of time researching processors, motherboards, and other components as I had not made a true change to my desktop for a good 6+ years. Initially, I was leaning toward AMD, as I had always done in the past. However, I decided to swing Intels way for this upgrade, and I couldn’t be happier. Stepping it up from an old Phenom II processor and a 2gb Radeon R7, to this beast coupled with MSI’s z270 Gaming M6 AC motherboard and their GTX 1080ti 11 GB Gaming X GPU, it has been an amazing difference. I have yet to find a game (primary use of computer) that can slow it down, and as a “standard user” (ie I don’t really get into the specs in depth), I have seen zero issues. I’ve officially changed from AMD gear to Intel processors and nVidia GPUs and I don’t see going back at any point in the near future. This processor is worth the extra cost over an AMD chip, but make sure to couple it with components that will make the most of it rather than losing a lot of its power. Go big or go home! 😂
