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

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.

Very nice cpu no problem whatsoever whether its for gaming or your everyday life use

This was an open box and it was dead on arrival. Now I am still waiting on my refund as of July 8th.

The CPU performance is great for the price. It also comes with an iGPU that is great for media and display. It supports AV1 10-bit decode, 12-bit HEVC, HDMI 2.0. Great for work.

this cpu is fast

If you are looking at my review, please exit this page and look for ryzens 5000 cpu. I bought 11700k just to play around with OC. (5800x has more gaming performance as well as low heat and also, it has less price) Only down side for ryzen is that it is little more harder to put it on to the motherboard since pin is not on the motherboard but on the cpu itself but its not biggy. If you are buying this product, make sure it is for overclock and dont expect it to have more performance over cheaper ryzen cpu.

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!

Packaged shipped and works as advertised. This was easy to install with minimum effort. It worked straight away and didnt give me any problems at all. I am not a tech guy with any benchmarks or anything like that I just know it works as far as my system boots and all my apps and software run without an issue. It rocks.

I have been running this CPU as part of a complete system upgrade and am very happy with its overall performance. The graphics performance and feature set only adds to the value. Great product.

Better than the i9 11900k
