Intel Core i7-7700 3.6 GHz QuadCore 8 MB Cache CPU - Black

Bought this for a gaming rig and home office PC. It performs amazingly well. I really can't be doing with all the hassle with overclocking and all the associated extra cooling required. I just wanted a high-performing processor from the get-go; and this is it. Some motherboards will require a BIOS update to accept Kaby Lake gen CPUs, but that's quite simple to do yourself (using a Skylake CPU) or by asking the motherboard vendor to do it before you take delivery of the board. Some mobos are Kaby Lake ready anyway. Because this CPU is not strictly overclockable, it runs cool, even during gaming sessions or intensive rendering etc. The stock cooler can be set to run on a very low speed (via BIOS config) to make the PC almost silent, especially when using an SSD instead of a traditional mechanical hard drive. Being a high performance CPU it is a fantastic match with mid to high-end GPUs to make a superb gaming rig. I know a lot of gamers would opt for the "K" version of the CPU, but honestly, I run several "AAA" titles, all at maximum settings with stunning performance. Anyway, I highly recommend this chip. Not cheap (when compared to Ryzen, for example) but I think it is still value for money.

So far, it has been snappy and responsive. It is not the unlocked one, but if you don't care about overclocking and getting every last cycle, then save a few pounds and get this one. I paired it with an Asus Prime B250-PRO, but see what I wrote on that one about updating the BIOS, and other bits. If you are doing heavy duty work, 3D design, video, Unreal Engine 4 (Games design) then this is what you should be looking at, if just casual gaming and you don't care about top frame rates, look at a 7'th generation Core i5 (doesn't have hyperthreading) and spend the difference on a better graphics card. *Be aware*, however, if you pair a 7'th gen CPU with an older chipset (110, 150, 170) then the chances are that unless the boards come with an updated BIOS, you might find you need a 6'th gen chip to boot it...! Be sure to get a 200 series chipset. Oh, and I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that it comes with an 'Intel Inside' sticker, complete with a long paragraph of legal text granting you a non-exclusive right to display the logo :) Thanks Intel -- Licensing rights of your logo was my main concern. Most companies just include a sticker. It comes with a fan included, however... you might want to get an aftermarket cooler. While it is not loud, under load, it does sound like a distant high-frequency cow -- really, imagine revving-up a motorised cow. If you are sound sensitive, or have OCD like me, then it will drive you up the wall, hence a good cooler will be next on my list. Summary - Very good, Not for overclockers, better for heavy workloads, fan goes "Mooo" a lot under load.

My son ordered this item but there was confusion with the CPU and therefore this item was incorrect. We had a little difficulty arranging the return due to an error message that kept appearing but once contact was made with the seller they quickly arranged the return and refund.

Purchased for a new machine I built, for no other reason than to have a fast processor that will last me a few years and provide all the CPU I will ever need whether gaming, coding and all the other things I do. This version comes with its own cooler, it does the job, note that only the processors with a K at the end come without a cooler as they can be overclocked. So unless you want to tinker with that kind of thing this is more than adequate for everyone's needs unless you know otherwise. Performance is great, it handles everything I throw at it.

Great CPU, massive upgrade for gaming from my Pentium G4560. It's runs a LOT hotter even though it has only an 11 watt difference in TDP (54 watts vs 65 watts) on an aftermarket cooler (Arctic Freezer Pro 7.) Idle they both run about the same which is around 30 degrees but under load it gets above 70 degrees which is a lot compared to the Pentium which topped out around 40-50. It's the only downside really as my PC is now a bit louder but the performance gain is well worth it. I have a feeling the stock cooler would be even louder so the only thing I would say if you're thinking about buying a 7700 is 1) go for it and 2) buy a decent and quiet cooler.

So, I get my delivery at 9pm at night UK time. I was originally annoyed with this, I open the box and there's my I7 7700 box. I grab it, open it up and there's NO CPU IN THE BOX! I am so god damn angry right now!! Amazon would like to "investigate" which means I'm handing them £259 for absolutely nothing.

The headline says it all. Easy to install and works well for gaming and other PC applications.

Excellent processor, not sure about it being worth an upgrade if you already have a K series gen 6 but runs smooth on a gaming ITX sytem. One warning is i keep getting windows 8 warnings that i have incompatible hardware for windows update, so there is obviouy an issue with windows 8 recognising the new skylake 7th gen processor for some of the updates. (will probably be patched) pair this with a new ITX style GTX 1060 and you have a great gaming machine far more powerful than any console.

El envío se hizo el mismo día que pagué, tardo dos semanas en llegar desde Londres a México, llegó sin caja original ni ventilador pero en un sobre con papel burbuja y el plástico para proteger el CPU justo como me mencionó el vendedor que se vendía el producto. Además no pagué algún impuesto adicional ya que el vendedor declaro un precio menor para que pasara rápido las aduanas. Excelente.

古くてもi7です。

Super fast speed i took it for my editing works perfectly for me

Intel Core i7-7700: Recensione completa Scrivo questa recensione dopo diverse configurazioni create utilizzando questo processore, e cercherò di essere quanto più completo possibile in modo da poter aiutare eventuali persone interessate. SCATOLA E CONTENUTO La confezione è la classica minimal di intel, che racchiude in poco spazio tutti i componenti necessari. All'interno troviamo: - Il processore - il manuale di istruzioni - il dissipatore Intel stock L'OGGETTO Buona CPU con socket LGA1151 dal classico aspetto Intel. Non c'è molto da dire riguardo l'oggetto, le caratteristiche tecniche sono reperibili nella pagina stessa di Amazon, l'unica cosa da segnalare è che seppur i valori TDP siano indicati a 65W, non vi consiglio di usare il dissipatore stock in quanto il turbo boost tende ad attivarsi anche durante l'esecuzione di applicazioni "semplici", in modo da spingere a 4.2 la cpu e terminare prima il task: questo però causa pure maggiore riscaldamento in quanto tende ad avere sbalzi improvvisi quando si aprono le applicazioni. IL MONTAGGIO Il montaggio è semplice, fissato il processore alla basetta in plastica fornita insieme alla scheda madre, basterà inserirlo e fissarlo. Nel caso si volesse utilizzare il dissipatore stock, la pasta termica è già presente, basterà quindi posizionarlo correttamente sopra il processore, e con i piedini sopra i fori di fissaggio, premere a fondo fino a sentire il "click", e poi ruotarli in modo da fissarli completamente. CONCLUSIONI Montato insieme ad una Asus z270 in accoppiata ad un dissipatore Noctua NH-U12/14 la resa è eccellente, e sarà veramente difficile riuscire a spingere questo processore al massimo delle sue possibilità. Tuttavia, ormai a parità di prezzo, tra la settima e l'ottava generazione la differenza è notevole, a partire dal fatto che la versione nuova del processore è exacore e non quadcore, pertanto il mio consiglio è di passare all'i7 8700.

Cuando monté mi ordenador hace cuatro años gasté tanto en otras piezas que cometí el error de comprar un i3 muy básico. Hacía tiempo que necesitaba el i7, y no debí esperar tanto porque no he ahorrado dinero, mi placa base ya es viejita y no soporta una generación superior a Kaby Lake. Se puede comprar de segunda mano pero sin ninguna garantía, y en Amazon no está particularmente barato ya que está descatalogado y es difícil de encontrar. El problema es saber qué compras, ya que lo compré creyendo que era nuevo y en realidad era de segunda mano. Por suerte el error fue de Amazon y el vendedor me hizo un descuento por quedármelo. Ha resultado funcionar perfectamente. En resumen, hazte un favor y compra el procesador más potente que puedas a la primera, no pierdas el tiempo con uno lento como yo.
