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

Value for money for general computer and gaming.

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

You will notice a difference going from i3 or i5 to this i7. Very reliable and things load much faster

Be sure you have adequate cooling if you plan on over clocking. Nuf said.

The processor running too hot, i cant cool it even with Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Mirror ARGB CPU Liquid Cooler - 3rd Gen which TDP is 280 Watt and processor itself getting sometime more then 300 Watt. It passed all tests, but because of it running too hot 80 Celsius + i was forced to under clocking it and Im frustrated about! Without Turbo its running cool, but you get 3.6 Ghz thats why Ive decided to just under clocking it from 4.9 to 4.2 !!!

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).

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.

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.

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

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.
