The processor works great if you are updating midrange or slightly older gaming PC. The speed increased with minimal lag in shooter games. Temperature is consistent. What I would complain about is the long delivery time, potential delayed mail. It would buy it again based on affordability and quality, the default CPU cooler not as impressive compared to 3rd party coolers on market (Blame Intel). The packaging was tight with box and components snug and safe upon arrival.

Update after 1 year and 3 months. still works as new and FAST.Update after 8 months: still works as new and FAST. so far, the best modification I have done to this PC for speed. I will be content with the speed, and boot up/shut down times of this PC until something major breaks and I'm forced to replace.Update after 3 weeks: Still working perfectly. Really glad I upgraded. Fast!I have an 2018 HP w/ i3-7100 3.9ghz dual core desktop (Model: 580-010) with an 8k graphics card, 16gb of ram (upgraded), and SSD drives (boot and storage SSD drives). I don’t game. I mostly surf the web, watch HD videos, some light video/photo editing. I want the best image possible and I want the PC run FAST! Running windows 10, it’s already fast enough. Start up and shut down times lag a little compared to the newer PC’s with windows 11 that seem to start up/shut down almost instantly. Regarding the CPU swap, I looked into updating my Odense2-K motherboard however I had the newest version of the software so no BIOS update needed. I removed the old CPU, wiped the thermal paste off the heat sink w/ rubbing alcohol, laid down the new i7, applied a pea size amount of new thermal paste. Screwed back on the heat sink and fan. Booted up perfectly. I noticed immediately improved speeds overall. Windows loads 50% faster. Programs load much faster. It’s easier to browse the web because everything is INSTANT, and smooth. And I’m a "fast clicker" so I want it be super responsive. Again, the i3 wasn’t slow or sluggish, but there was a very slight delay. With the i7 chip, everything is SUPER fast. Also, I don’t game so I can’t comment on that but if you’re looking for a boost in your HP computer and know this CPU is COMPATIBLE and the price is around $100-$135, I’d highly recommended. $350 is too much. If you don’t have ssd’s yet I’d recommend that modification first. It’s pretty easy with Samsung SSD’s using their free software “magician” or something and a huge difference in speed. Hopefully this processor will last. It was an open box and came with only the chip. Looked pretty new to me. I’ll update the review as time passes.

Bought this to build my new FreeBSD box. It runs surprisingly cool, but then again I have a Noctua cooler on it that is the size of a Chevy small block V8. Even when compiling 6 builds at a time, it never gets over 50c. Surprisingly fast for code builds as well. My dual hexacore Xeon machine builds 700+ packages in about 3.5 hours, this machine in about 4.5. Not bad for only 4 cores.I am not a serious gamer so the onboard 630HD plays my 10+ year old games just fine. All in all, this was a good CPU choice, both because it "just works" and because of the low wattage, heat and power consumption.

Great processor working Pro Tools and Cubase. Fast and stable. Software synths and samples load fast, chews through projects be it keyscape or ominsphere, kontakt player etc... without sweat. This multi-tasking marvel, also works a charm in astrophotography, working as a tracking system controlling a apochromatic triple refractor telescope.This processor i7-7700, comes with the intel stock cooing fan which is more than sufficient to cool this processor. So you may not need to buy an aftermarket cooler.... i did... I chose to go with cooler master's g100m because it is gorgeous and silent in the studio, all the while, putting on a led light show in the studio while writing music and editing videos or tracking galaxies. it helps bring some color in the usually dark studio environment and it keeps the i7-7700 cool even under load while maintaining silence in the studio. For what I do, the intel core i7-7700 is a great song writer and a wonderful telescope tracking system. Thank you Intel!

Creo que el único punto negativo que le encuentro es que el cooler que trae de stock no es suficiente y es demasiado ruidoso. En la computadora que tenia anteriormente tenia un core i5 6500 y el cooler que trae de fabrica mantenía a muy buena temperatura el procesador aun haciéndole pruebas de benchmark y nunca subía de 53ºC ni en juegos pesados ni al renderizar en alta calidad, pero este procesador obviamente es mas potente y necesita un cooler mas grande que pueda mantener la temperatura del equipo en el estado ideal.Con el cooler de stock las temperaturas eran de 37ºC en idle aunque subía la temperatura muy rapido al abrir algunos programas y llegaba a 80-85ºC en full load. Asi que al final terminé cambiando el disipador del cpu por otro y ahora si se mantiene a temperaturas maximas de 55ºC y no hace tanto ruido el ventilador

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.

I had a perfectly good running computer that was using an i5-2500K, which was an awesome processor. It never gave me any problems. However, the opportunity presented itself where I could resell that compute at a reasonable price and use that for an upgrade. I sold my computer in August 2017 and knew that Intel was releasing something soon. I was totally prepared to wait for the new processors to come out. I wasn't in the need for a new computer. I had other means of getting on the Internet and getting work done. To get to the point, after seeing the i7-8700K creep up in price day by day, I looked at other processors just for the fun of it. I saw that this 7700 was on sale for $259. Knowing that I would never come close to maxing out the 7700, why spend the extra money on the new 8700K? At the time I bought this processor, the 8700K was going for $419. Also knowing that the 7700 released earlier this year, I didn't see a major drawback to getting this processor. It has run very smoothly. I have not been disappointed going with this processor at all.

I bought this Intel CPU after many years of using AMD. I didn't buy the "x" version as I was on a bit of a budget. That being said, this processor exceeds my demands and runs cool with the included cooler. I was using an AMD 8340 in the same case and had to go to a Corsair liquid cooler to keep CPU temps down in the 50 to 60 degree Celsius range. After pushing full detail on a hard race in Project Cars then checking temps right on Corsair Link, the temps are never over 42 c and come down to the mid 30's quickly. Plus the fan is quiet. Most of the noise in my system comes from the GPU. All in all, I am very happy with this CPU. It may not be the newest chip out there but it is doing exactly what I need it to do and then some at a price and noise level that is impressive.

Peut-être dans ce qu'on lit la génération Kabylake n'apporte pas énormément par rapport à la précédente, mais en tous cas ce I7 fonctionne à merveille. Sur un certain nombre d'opérations cela va franchement plus vite (exemple décompression d'archives), mais comparé à un Q9650 sur socket 775, il y a eu pas mal de générations entre deux!Il ne chauffe pas (avec un Noctua et je déconseille le ventirad fourni par Intel), aucun bug, aucun plantage, les jeux ne sont limités que par la carte graphique, une GTX1060 3 go. Le meilleur processeur que j'ai eu. Cette version desktop est plus rapide que le I7 7700 mobile, j'ai vu fonctionner les deux. Cela dit sur un portable le I7 dédié tourne aussi à merveille.J'ai pris volontairement la version non OC, et comme déjà dit ailleurs ce processeur ne fonctionne de manière optimale que sous Windows 10, avec les dernières cartes mères sous peine de devoir effectuer une mise à jour du bios sur les précédentes (j'ai une Z270, aucun souci).
