## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Best I7-8700K CPU Ever! - Love it already and I am surprised how it works out for gaming and recording too I feel so happy with this I rate it 10/10!
Review: Blazingly fast, Super-efficient, great overclocking potential - I bought this along with several other components for a brand new custom desktop. I chose Coffee Lake as it was the newest architecture and I had heard good things about its speed and overclocking potential; also having 6 physical cores is handy! Something to note is that CPU overclocked will outperform the extreme version of it’s predecessor for single core applications (e.g. gaming) but on multicore usage you’d be better off going for the extreme edition as it offers more raw power. I tend to multitask a lot on my PC hence the need for a beefy CPU. Usually running several applications such as CAD software, games, media creation programs, and sometimes even game creation services AT THE SAME TIME is very CPU (and RAM) intensive, so I chose to go with the I7 for the extra power and speed provided. The CPU itself came properly boxed, no heat sink included which I’m glad is the norm now as the stock heat sinks that intel used to provide were never enough! Also, the inclusion of a nice little sticker was good to go on the case 😉 Plugging into the motherboard was simple. Bearing in mind that your motherboard will have to support the 1151 socket for this to fit AND function. I went with a high-end board as to not bottleneck my system (see my other reviews for that item). Running tests, I am very happy. I used the built in overclocking utility in my motherboards BIOS and that managed to easily push it to 4.9Ghz which is better than I expected for automatic overclocking. The system runs stable and damn quick. I ran a Geekbench and Cinebench to test the performance of the CPU and have added the results as images. These results are from AFTER the Meltdown/Spectre mess. Even after the Meltdown and Spectre updates I haven’t noticed too big a slow down to be honest. My desktop keeps up with me well. In fact, I’m glad I went for the fastest model now to compensate for the reduction in speed across all devices. I’m so happy with this purchase, it’s worth the extra cash from an I5. If you need multitasking and speed work your budget around this. I recommend this product. Always happy with Intel. ***If you found this review helpful please don't forget to mark it as helpful below, thanks!***

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will 8700k be in stock today?**
A: total in stock  and price dropping with the ryzan 2 coming out

**Q: what is the difference between the 8700 and 8700k?**
A: Performance tons of performance. The 8700K is unlocked and thus can be overclocked to 5.0MHZ which provides an absolutely MASSIVE ( not slight or small ) gain over the locked 8700. Gamers are who typically purchase and benefit from CPU’s like the i7 8700K.

**Q: If the highest memory supported is 2600Mhz why buy ram with higher speeds?**
A: Higher ram speeds are overclocked (they operate at faster frequency (mhz) than stock). Usually higher speeds = better performance. For example, if you buy a 3200Mhz memory and put it on your motherboard, it will set it to factory default 2133Mhz (not overclocked). Now this memory has a built-in "XMP Profile" (Google this), that you can set on your BIOS to automatically overclock  to 3200mhz

**Q: Will this fit on my old p67 Sabertooth mobo?**
A: The best CPU you can upgrade to is the Core i7-3770k. You will have to make sure the BIOS is updated before you attempt to upgrade to a 3rd Generation CPU.

Your p67 Sabertooth is an LGA 1155 motherboard but the Core i7 8th Gen processors belong to a modified LGA 1151 socket, which only works on 300 series motherboards. These 8th Gen processors will not work on z270, z170 or any 100 series or 200 series LGA 1151 board.

Usually you just had to match socket types but in reality you need to research the specs of your motherboard to find the CPU upgrade list. This will tell you what CPU is compatible with your motherboard. In some cases you might have to update the BIOS/UEFI in order to ensure compatibility.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, does not disappoint!
*by C***K on 12 November 2018*

After having an old i3-590 for so long, I decided to finally make the jump to a bigger and better processor- and with all the reviews this thing got, I can firmly say that it does not disappoint whatsoever. Installation proved a little tricky to figure out, but it wasn't really an inherent issue with the product itself, more the motherboard. Upon getting it up and running, the performance of my PC knows no limits, it even turned my GPU into a bottleneck, which amazes me. All in all, this thing is absolutely top quality and very affordable all the same. I'd absolutely recommend it for anyone wanting to make a jump.
