This CPU is the best I have ever owned. I own a i7-7700HQ, i3-3220, AMD FX-6300, Ryzen 7 1700 and I must say that my i7-8700k is the fastest! Overclocking this CPU was also really easy, just went into the bios and set the multiplier to 5.00 Ghz, left everything else to default besides overclocking the ram. I ran AIDA64 stress-test for about 2 hours, my vcore never exceeded 1.238v and temps topped out at around 82c using my AIO. I don't know if I got a golden chip and won the silicon lottery but my voltages for a 5ghz overclock isn't exceeding 1.238v and I couldn't be happier! Games run a lot faster, programs that utilize just a single core are also a lot faster on this CPU. I'm not dogging my other CPU's and I am also still waiting for the Ryzen 3000 series to come out but thus far, Ryzen needs to push their limits on IPC and single core performance.Read full review

Many years after it's release, and it's still a keeper. Clocks high and runs great for midrange 1080p gaming systems, and keeps up great with multitasking. While it will bottleneck you in 1080p on a modern midrange machine, it's a solid choice for 4k gaming and multitasking.

Its been a while now and this CPU has shown massive speed and reliability with my build. Its more than I will need for a very long time. The multitasking on this CPU is very impressive. I ran a youtube video, Rise of the Tomb Raider , Life is Strange and some other tasks and I didnt get any lag.

Have gotten a stable overclocked speeds of 5.1 GHz and stable temps around 80°C on max synthetic load. Can handle literally anything i throw at it from video editing to rendering and of course ANY game title. And before you ask, yes. Yes it can run Crysis.

When building a new Computer for Gaming and Photo editing, I looked at all reviews out there . This 8700K beat them all in the speed reviews, Installed in a ASUS TUF Z370 Pro Gaming mother board using factory settings it clocked up to 5000 MHz reliably. Could not be happier.
