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 using it as intended by Intel everything is stock so its running 125 watts I did use an auto oc at first and it used almost 180 watts and was hotter disabling in my case on my Asus motherboard the Asus performance enhancement my temps under load are 60c!! With enabled it hit in the mid 70s and I didnt notice any difference in performance.. good CPU

I upgraded from an i7 7700k and with the 11700k i average 70-100 fps more playing cold war and warzone. It feels way smoother 10/10

Better than the i9 11900k

This is supposedly a brand new cpu but I saw an orange scratch mark. Likely whatever plating was slightly scratched off to expose a copper surface. I just dont think thats acceptable for a 300+ dollar cpu. I could buy an xbox series x for that price and what I got was a maybe used cpu that was run around the ring a few times. It works but disappointed with quality and the thought that I mightve bought a used cpu for over 300 dollars.

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.

this cpu is fast

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

Kept up on all games

Now with the i9-13900 series coming out this is two steps down from the top of the procesor market. It was just published that the new line was tested to 8.3gh. This line becomes the third choice and the i5s the poor cousins.

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.
