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

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.

My first upgrade since generation 4 i5-4670k, its fantastic. I chose an Asus Z590 Prime, Corsair Capallex 110, RM 650W PSU. A learning curve on overclocking since 2010, I spent equally as much in ram, mobo and cooling but worth every cent. Youll still need graphics if running under GeForce 1000 Series, but my perfermance with a 960Gtx is phenomenal. Its an Intel entusiasts dream, and I agree: ignore the one star reviews. I wont make a Ryzen comparison, other than my title, I do believe AMD is doing less with more changes but just my opinion. Are threads, cores and nanometers winning? I have my doubts. Nonetheless this is Intel back on its game!

Works great

Good product, works perfectly in my build and powerful enough, probably more than needed, to do what I want on my pc.

Works well, Over clocking was more of a learn as you go. 10/10 would recommend this CPU though.

this cpu is fast

Value for money for general computer and gaming.

My tech son recommended this to me as one of several parts we bought to rebuild my desktop computer so it would be Win 11 compatible. We looked at Gen 12 Intel chips, but they are only marginally faster than this one and much more expensive. From that viewpoint, this was a value purchase for a fast chip that is Win 11 compatible and probably not going to be obsolete for 3 to 5 years. It also has incredible specs and capabilities. It is a quality product that works well right out of the box. That is as good as it gets.

When rebuilding my failed desktop computer I had to buy a new motherboard which would not accomodate my previous CPU chip. I researched an i9 core but it really wasnt faster enough to spend the extra cash on one.

May 2021 (sometime)- I decided the processor (I dont recommend you do that), it required a oven and a lot of patience. Long story short after delidding and applying liquid metal it dropped my Temps over 10C, I ran it that way for about 6 months before selling it to a friend but he hasnt had any issues yet either
