Review: Incredible - Blistering speed - for my first time ever the CPU got a higher score than GPU (RX480) in 3D Mark (Time Spy test). Intel makes really good processors, I'm utterly amazed how they fit four cores *and* a very decent GPU into this tiny processor with such reliability and performance. It's quite expensive but there are features that justify the price for me: 1. Build in Graphics processor is very decent - it handles all web browser graphics and video, and can drive multiple screens. If you do not need the sort of power to play top end games, you will not need to buy a separate graphics card. 2. It's designed to be overclocked - I'll reserve that for the future. At the moment it doesn't need any improvement from the factory settings; but in 5 years' time, who knows? It will help it keep up with newer models, therefore increasing its longevity. It arrives factory sealed with permanent tape over the box flap. Intel does not spend its money on packaging but it's adequately protected. You need a cooler to go with it, I'm using Cooler Master Hyper TX3i. As usual, pins are on the motherboard, not the CPU, and installation is easy - but also very scary, considering the price. The trickiest part is after installation - attaching the heat sink and stressing over the perfect paste application. Temperatures are around 35℃ most of the time, 40-45℃ during 3D Mark GPU tests and 80℃ during CPU test. As mentioned, I have never had a CPU that blasted through the 3D Mark tests like this - Time Spy CPU test starts at 60 FPS, and finishes at 18FPS without overclocking.
Review: Top processor at a great price , and also great service from desertcart ! - I have upgraded from an i5 7600k wich was 100% load in games like Battlefield 1 . I did heard about the overheating problems that i7 7700k processors have , but I believe it's only luck that keeps you from getting a good processor . In my case , the first one was heating up bad , even on watercooling on an expensive system. so I decided to speak to desertcart to see if I can get another one as a replacement .they were helpful as always and they understood my problem . I just installed the replacement and I must say it is a big improvement . The first one was getting up to 90c max temp , while this one stays at around 70c max. on the exact same system and cooling . Thanks to desertcart's great customer service I was able to get the performance I was after for the top money I paid . great processor if you game a lot like me , and future proof also .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what heat sink is with chip? (if there is one)**
A: No heat sink or cpu cooler - Intel believe that anyone who buys an unlocked "K" version of this chip will use a third party cooler anyway. You'll need at a minimum a Coolermaster Evo 212 or equivalent.

**Q: Has anyone used this successfully with Windows 7, or are finding problems?**
A: This i7 7700K will not be supported on Windows 7 - you will be warned that your hardware is not supported and you not receive any further windows updates at all - and you will receive occasional nagging warnings too. Do NOT buy the seventh generation Intel chips if you want to continue to use Windows 7 till 2020 (when that will not be supported either!)... I hate the tech world for this sort of redundancy - such an irresponsible waste... maybe I can tile my bathroom with these old CPUs in the future!

**Q: What do I need to buy alongside this to install it?**
A: Nothing but your motherboard and a screwdriver

**Q: is this OEM or Retail?**
A: This is the Retail version

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The fastest gaming CPU available right now
*by R***D on 15 March 2017*

I have waited for many years to upgrade and after waiting for the Ryzen release just to see if I was going to be missing out, after that I pulled the trigger and got a 7700K. Overclocking was easy, hit 5GHz with absolutely no issues. So providing you have a mid-range or better motherboard this should be no issue at all. Temperatures are reasonable, hitting 75 maximum when gaming, which is acceptable. Is this future proof? Maybe, but we don't really know how long but it WILL play games for the next few years and it will destroy any game out right now, with ease. A very good upgrade if you're coming from tech years ago.
