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

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).

This thing performs worse than the 10 series and is still on 14nm++++++ .... good for heating up small rooms quickly.

Installation was a breeze (my first). I have only had it in place for a month and have not yet been able to get a decent graphics card, but running with an old card for now does not come close to pushing this cpu to its limits.

Works grate would buy again

Havent been able to test its max pottential. But it does the job. At least for now its working better than my i5-8400.

Have used for a few weeks and everything is working good. Have not even attempted overclocking or anything like that.

Dont listen to the review on youtube, cus this is a legendary CPU. Before the 11th gen, the 10900K was the fastest gaming CPU in the market. And for Intel to top it, is impressive in itself. CPU if you pair it with the right motherboard and rams you will then see its full potential. I own the 12900K for over 6 months and decided to go back to the 11gen. Even though Alder lake is more powerful, since it is very new, it has way too many drawback and the high latency of rams is the main reason why I decided to sell it. I think Raptor lake would be the CPU but as of now, the 11 gen with a few tweaks will outperform alder lake.

When compared to the i9-11900K, this one just provides much more value. The integrated graphics are decent enough for light gaming on games such as League of Legends and provides a nice backup graphics in the event that the GPU fails. I would definitely appreciate more cores on it, but all in all, its a pretty good upgrade from my previous 7th gen Intel PC.

I bought it for 360 minus gift card from bank points it was around 310.

I preordered this cpu and got it on the release day, coming from the 4th gen i7 4790k its a huge leap, its a great processor and handles everything I have thrown at it extremely well while only getting 70C max with an average of 64C while gaming. Best yet, it has PCI-E 4.0 Support and I gained an extra 20-30 frames with my RTX 3080 in Modern Warfare (average of ~160 fps with everything on ultra and ray tracing on). Highly recommended for an upgrade.
