The -8700K&#8217;s overclocking capabilities overtake AMD&#8217;s Ryzen Threadripper series, making it one of the best gaming CPU on the market right now. When overclocked the i7-8700K stays relatively cool, but you may experience problems when reaching clock speeds of up to 5.1 GHz; overall the CPU stayed relatively cool while operating normally. The verdict: the Intel Core i7-8700K is a great gaming CPU for an affordable price. <span id=\"grpDescrip_19-117-836\"><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\nHere are other reviews for the i7-8700K:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/reviews\/intel-coffee-lake-i7-8700k-cpu,5252.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom&#8217;s Hardware<\/a>: Intel i7-8700K, a great gaming CPU.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/best-processors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TechRadar<\/a>: rated the i7-8700K Coffee Lake the best CPU, beating AMD\u2019s Ryzen Threadripper 1950X.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpubenchmark.net\/high_end_cpus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PassMark<\/a>: Overall, it&#8217;s CPU Mark is 16261, giving the i7-8700K a high rating for it&#8217;s lower price compared to the higher ranked CPU&#8217;s that will break your wallet (the highest CPU Mark is 27428 and the lowest is 79).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Note:\u00a0 This review is part of a classroom project.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt\"><strong>References:<\/strong> https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2017\/10\/intel-coffee-lake-8700k-review\/<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 https:\/\/www.intel.com\/content\/www\/us\/en\/homepage.html<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/Product\/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117827<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 https:\/\/www.cpubenchmark.net\/high_end_cpus.html<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/best-processors<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/reviews\/<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Intel]]&gt;\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;![CDATA[ This is a review of the Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake processor for gaming purpose and overall usage; it is $459.99 on Newegg.
