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.

Fast, reliable. Got 5ghz out of the box no oc

It is replacing a fourth generation I7 CPU. It runs so much faster and no problems installing or running.

Got mine all out in go to push power button and! Nothing….absolutely…NOTHING…put old CPU back in starts up like a champ…tf? Even checked compatibility before buying…I sure hope I can get my money back…

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.

I bought the 11700k for my gaming rig. With water cooling I’ve got it overclocked to 4.7ghz on all cores. Totally stable and never gets hotter than 60*C. With my 1080 ti it runs all games I’ve played on max settings with a minimum of 80fps at 2k ultrawide, and much higher for most games. Including Cyberpunk and Assassins Creed Valhalla.

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.

The package showed up damaged, even though it was labeled as fragile. For something as expensive and fragile as a cpu is, i wish it was handled with actual care. However, it seems that the cpu itself is fine.

So long as you keep this baby cool, youll be happy with the results. It runs and processes very well.

I returned an Intel 11700K because it ran too hot and the 3rd party seller charged me a $75 restocking
