Solid processor
Using this processor paired with the Cooler Master - MasterLiquid ML240L RGB 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler. Keeps a consistent 30-ish C temp at idle and maybe between 40s - 50s C during gaming. Probably wont require the liquid cooling but I did that as an option to overclock in a few years and stave off an upgrade in a while whenever games become more demanding. Pair this with 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM and the Nvidia RTX 2070 and your rig will feel unstoppable right now.

Best bang for buck high-end
This is a great value processor. For the next few years, I cannot imagine needing anything more. This CPU is extremely capable of intensive tasks, like the game Fallout 4. I am highly pleased.

Very popular processor
You find great reviews everywhere about this processor. I expected the price to go down, but it actually has been going up due to popularity. 6 cores with 12 threads. It should remain a top processor for a long time.

As advertised
You have to remember that Im coming from a duo core 3200 circa 2005 but this processor is a billed- fast and stable. B & H, you are always trusted and reliable.

Its still an excellent processor in 2019
Even though its more than a year old this processor (K version) is a beast. If you get a good cooler (such as Noctua d-15s) the 8700k stays cool just fine and even with a mild overclock (4.7 or 4.8) it outperforms my high expectations.

Easy
I like this website because it was easy to find the exact item I needed and it works great for my system. I would buy from here again when I need something like this.

Its good
Runs very well but a little pricey. Gets to 70 C when playing some games with an EVGA CLC 280 cooler but performs well. MSI Motherboard software auto overclocked it to 4.4 GHz

Be Aware
If you still use Windows 7 operating system (and some of us did) this processor will not let you run Windows 7. Microsoft has decide not to support intel generation 8 processors in Windows 7. When I first booted up into windows 7 the mouse didnt work because with this processor and windows 7 that wasnt possible. Still cant believe Microsoft has done this but live and learn I guess. In windows 10 it runs fine. It is fast. Guess Im going to have to get used to windows 10.

Excellent performance
Very good performance for gaming - maintain Good temperature under heavy gaming load( under 70 C for cheap air cooling fans and overclock to 4.8Ghz) Great FPS performance compare to previous generation and competitors. I didn't test on heavy programs as I don't have yet.

It is what you think it is - Incredible
If you're looking at this CPU, chances are you already know what it's capable of. Your PC will sing and fly through everyday tasks and high refresh gaming all while streaming. However, if you're planning to just game, consider the i5 variant as they are on par with each other in benches.

Doesn't come with any cooler.
I didn't know that when I purcased it, so I had to spend more money on a water cooler... I wish this information was clear in the first place. But it is a wonderful processor. I have nothing against it.

Works Great and awesome temps. 5 stars for cpu, 6 for B&H CS
CS=Customer support. I've reviewed this product already but can't figure out how to edit my previous review so I'm writing this to cancel the more negative review I gave it earlier. The first review I gave 3 stars because I bought this in a bundle with an intel creativity bundle and received a different (and personally less interesting) bundle. However, B&H customer service reached out and corrected the mistake quickly and politely so I need to cancel out that last review with a great one. Would absolutely buy from B&H again.

Excellent Purchase
Purchased as 8086k were released, glad I didn't pay the premium, easy overclock to 5 GHZ, have had it stable as high as 5.15 without much effort. Price/Performance well worth the purchase.

Exceeded my expectations!
I was in need of a fast processor with at least 6 cores and 12 threads. For my work and pleasure, which is audio and video editing - I'm not a pro, not yet - this processor is working out beautifully! I can render video in the background, upload video or other projects in the background, and still have enough power to surf the web or start creating a new project. While it is not and i9 it is certainly a great CPU for the price

As Expected, It's Faster than a 6700K
I bought this processor to upgrade my system that I use for editing RAW images shot with my Sony a7R III. My previous processor was the 6700K. I skipped the 7th Gen processors because there wasn't much difference and I didn't feel the need to upgrade. After using the a7R III, image editing became much more demanding and I felt I needed a little boost. After installing the 8700K there is a huge improvement in editing (and improvement all around in... Show More

Un gigante al alcance
DEcid por este procesador ante un I9 de la serie X, equvalente, bsicamente porque las caractersticas tcnicas no eran muy diferentes en relacin con el precio. El procesador anda de maravilla, en una mobo Maximus X Code junto a un paquete de 64 GB. HAsta el momento la configuracin XMP funcion bien, sin contratatiempos. Una excelente compra y el mejor procesador precio calidad, para los amantes de Intel.

Awesome CPU
Handles pretty much anything I throw at it. The K version is definitely the way to go as these CPUs can easily reach 4.8GHZ without much effort, and 5GHZ+ with a decent cooler and motherboard.

Good Value Processor
I installed the 8700K processor on an Asus Prime Z370-A motherboard. Out of the box it scored around 1400 on cinebench with peak temperature of 60 degrees Celsius (noctua nh-d15 cpu cooler). Overclocking to 5ghz scored a 1621 on cinebench with peak temp at 80 degrees Celsius.

Beautiful Processor
I just matched this with an ASUS Prime Z-370 A. This is a great processor. I though about getting an i9, but this is a lot less costly and I can't imagine how anything could be faster. I never overclock. I'm using the CPU's graphics. I'm not a gamer.

Fast, powerful, a cool.
Just a pleasure to have. Super fast, stays cool, case fans remain quiet and silent. Easily oc to 5ghz. Games are super smooth and large workstation apps easily render quickly.

Beast. PUBG & Battlefield 1 max fps.
Averages 120-144fps in PUBG. Constant 144 in Pecado with lots o people. Consistent 200fps in Battlefield 1. It's bottlenecked by my gtx 1070. CPU load is about half of GPU.

Powerful CPU!
Super quick processor! Overclocked easily to 5.0ghz with a 240mm AIO with average temps normally around 65 degrees celsius, with peaks of 75. Intel UHD graphics is not bad at all, and can run some older games at mid-high settings at 1080p.

The little puppy that roared!
Get overclocking chip. It seems to actually like 5ghz without a tremendous increase in temps. The highest temp I've had during some intense testing was 69c. I am using the Corsair 110i to cool.
