I upgraded from an FX-8320 to this CPU and it SCREAMS. For the cost, I wasn't sure if this was going to perform better than the i7-6700k but I really think it was worth it based on the increase in gaming quality I've seen. But even with the huge increase in performance, there have been some drawbacks, though somewhat minor in my opinion.I'm going to go ahead and mirror what about half the reviews I've seen here and on Newegg have said; it gets hot. Hotter than it really feels like it should. Some people haven't had issues and I think they've won the Silicon Lottery and I am very jealous of them. I, however, am a huge loser in the lottery I feel. With a Corsair H105 I'm seeing around 36-40C idle temps and at 100% load... Well I can't really tell how high up it can really go because when I fire up Prime95 with small FFT's the temps go straight up to 100C and I have to cancel the test within seconds. When running in-place FFT's I see around 77-80C. Now granted I HAVE had my H105 for around 3 years now so it's possible it's not having fun working with my motherboard or the pump is going bad and I do plan on replacing it soon, but in the mean time I really don't think these temps are normal at all. Part of the problem could be the mobo ( for reference) delivering too much power to the CPU, and some people have said that driver updates fix this problem and I really should have done that before this review so I will update later if that DOES fix it. Because of this issue I've been unable, out of fear, to overclock at all though I'm sure outside of stress tests I wouldn't have to worry about it overheating much while gaming or day to day use.The other issue I've had is also related to temperature. While idling I periodically would see vastly different temperatures on each core. And when I say vastly, I mean the difference between Core 0 being 35C and Core 1 being 65C. This would happen randomly when running programs OR idling and would lead to a huge annoyance; my case fans turning up to compensate for just a few seconds then winding down. Not the biggest annoyance but I've heard others talking about this and I believe I've found a solution. After disabling the onboard graphics, the mobo option to deliver power to it was still set on. Using the Gigabyte App Center utility Easy Tune I turned it down and am no longer seeing this issue, so yay for that.Overall I'm very pleased with this product, despite it's temp issues. These issues may seem huge but in all honesty I never see temps higher than 65C while doing anything other than stress tests and my problems could stem from mobo issues but none of these have caused me to regret my purchase. I struggle whether or not to rate this at 4 or 5 stars due to my issues, but mine aren't as extreme as I may have portrayed them and most others don't seem to be experiencing this level of temperature and that leads me to a solid 5 star review.

CPU: Intel i7 7700k:l have mixed feeling about this processor, first lets start with the positive side:Pro: Great speed, i was able to overclock it to 5.53 ghz without a problem, and reached benchmark number one on CMU-Z with speed of 577 beating any similar processor around.with clock speed 4.2 - 4.5 ghz this CPU speed is more then capable to handle any application no matter what, i'm running Lightroom, Photoshop, Bridge, Time Lapse application, plus other application and yet able to play COD in the background at full fps on Eco mode :)Cons: processor can overheat and have spikes in temp, this is what many reported and i have noticed till I was able to fix it by resting bios, i was able to solve this issue buy bios reset, and i'm not sure if it was a bio, but now i'm no longer overclocking the CPU, i'm leaving it on Eco mode or performance up to 4.5ghz.Temp works idle 30c maximum while playing games Benchmark is beyond great, since i received fastest single thread result in july 2017 @ 557Maybe when i'm going to receive my new liquid coolant i will give it another try, but it will be for benchmark purposes only, since there is no application which will require anything above 4.5ghz that i'm using.

Work good 💯

When i received the package it came in a core i5 box and when i opened it had the correct cpu i ordered and once i hooked it up to my pc i had a better experience loading up stuff slightly faster and running games at better fps.

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! 😂

Ist alles super, die CPU läuft ausgezeichnet. Ich bin sehr zufrieden, es war bloss dämlich, dass ich Einfuhrkosten selber zahlen musste, das wurde auf der Produktseite nirgends erwähnt, dass ich solche Kosten selber tragen muss. Aber sonst war alles gut, die Lieferung war schnell und das Produkt selber war gut verpackt. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Usei pouco ainda, mas até o momento atendeu as minhas expectativas

El rendimiento de este procesador es fenomenal! Es una muy buena adquisicion y el precio no me parece demasiado elevado para lo que es! Como contra calienta un poco mas de lo que estoy acostumbrado pero mi recomendacion es si no tienen buena refrigeracion para su sistema y van a usar el procesador para tareas basicas es utilizar el modo economizador de energia en windows y bajarle el maximo uso del CPU a uno 50%. La verdad para las actividades comunes no hace falta mas que eso y la velocidad sigue siendo extrema. Para jugar si devolverlo a alto rendimiento

super cpu, spara forte, la mia sembra essere tra quelle fortunate pure, reggei 5.1ghz , cosa che non tutti gli i7 7700k reggono, alcuni non reggono nemmeno i 4.9 ..quindi soddisfattissimo, specie abbinato al raffreddamento a liquido che ho abbinato (cooler master masterliquid lite 240..costava 4 lire messe in croce,un po rumoroso se sparato a palla,ma chissenefotte) ..la cpu,ripeto un botto,sono soddisfatto, sia in overclock, che in turno mode, cbhe in modalità tranqui, linux mi permette i 5.1ghz .. windows10 a malapena i 4.5 ..vabbè .... unico neo IL COSTOOOOOOOOO!!!! ma poche storie, intel costa, e la qualità si paga

This processor is awesome. I recently upgraded from a 3770k to the 7700k, and MAN is the difference amazing. The reason for the upgrade was I got a GTX 1080, and it was being bottlenecked by my CPU and RAM. That bottleneck has been alpha and omega'd. It's destroyed. I couldn't be happier with the processing speeds. Games like playerunknown's battlegrounds (which are heavily CPU based due to lack of current optimization) are running significantly smoother. When I stream playerunknown's, for example, OBS's cpu load is typically between 1-2%, which means it doesn't impact my gaming experience at all. Doesn't get any better than that.•• Current Overclock ••I'm currently rocking my Z270-A mobo's built in turbo 4.9ghz overclock (haven't bothered manually OC'ing yet), and temps are fantastic. Keep in mind, I went all out and bought an H100 v2 watercooler, which I can also highly recommend. It's worth every penny.•• Addressing The Bad Reviews ••I'll never understand reviews that drop two lines and say something like: "runs really hot, even with my great watercooling setup." First off, that gives me very limited information. I don't know about his building history. Is it his first time? Did a friend build it for him? Is he overclocking WRONG? Did he get it all put together from a store, and the employees messed something up?The reason I say this is because my experience has been the complete opposite. My buddy recently purchased the same CPU with an NZXT watercooler, and he runs around 30 degrees idling in a hot, Calgary summer. Similarly, mine runs at 29 when not under load and fluctuates between 55-65 when playing games like the Witcher 3 with Ultra everything (and maxed hairworks). It sounds like that person's cooling system either isn't actually working or there's a major thermal paste issue... or a "no thermal paste issue."•• Conclusion ••If you want a processor that will crush triple A gaming titles for the next 5 years, this is an excellent buy. When the i9 and above drops, the 7700k's price may fall even lower... so keep your eyes open for sales. I couldn't be happier with this processor.
