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

For some reason it wouldn’t allow me to unlock the RAID capability on my motherboard since this model was made to do that. Tested with someone else’s 11700 it raid could be enabled. I wouldn’t buy it here, look elsewhere for it. It’s too expensive to risk something like this.

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

8 Cores at this price? These are amazing CPUs without breaking the wallet. These prices used to be the price of quad core CPUs. So if you want the best bang for your bucks and not go with AMD, these are it. OCs well, runs at reasonable temperatures. Excellent processor.

In some benchmarks it runs just as well as a ryzen 5800x. well...the downside is the temperature.

Works exactly as I expected.

I recently upgraded my computer from an i7 7700K with a 270 Motherboard to the i7 11700k with a 590 Aorus Elite AX and it is a huge improvement. I was able to use my old AIO with this processor which was nice. Noticeably less stuttering when playing games. I do have this paired with a 3070 and the computer is a beast. Video editing works well with this setup too.

Plays everything I want at high frames and smooth as can be.

It works decently, but the graphics are god-awful. There is artifacting (boxes showing up randomly) even when I updated drivers.

Todo bien por el momento, espero que siga así a futuro!

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.
