Review: Great CPU for amazing performance without the faff of overclocking - 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.
Review: Excellent processor, get an after-market cooler unless you like high-frequency motorised cows. - So far, it has been snappy and responsive. It is not the unlocked one, but if you don't care about overclocking and getting every last cycle, then save a few pounds and get this one. I paired it with an Asus Prime B250-PRO, but see what I wrote on that one about updating the BIOS, and other bits. If you are doing heavy duty work, 3D design, video, Unreal Engine 4 (Games design) then this is what you should be looking at, if just casual gaming and you don't care about top frame rates, look at a 7'th generation Core i5 (doesn't have hyperthreading) and spend the difference on a better graphics card. *Be aware*, however, if you pair a 7'th gen CPU with an older chipset (110, 150, 170) then the chances are that unless the boards come with an updated BIOS, you might find you need a 6'th gen chip to boot it...! Be sure to get a 200 series chipset. Oh, and I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that it comes with an 'Intel Inside' sticker, complete with a long paragraph of legal text granting you a non-exclusive right to display the logo :) Thanks Intel -- Licensing rights of your logo was my main concern. Most companies just include a sticker. It comes with a fan included, however... you might want to get an aftermarket cooler. While it is not loud, under load, it does sound like a distant high-frequency cow -- really, imagine revving-up a motorised cow. If you are sound sensitive, or have OCD like me, then it will drive you up the wall, hence a good cooler will be next on my list. Summary - Very good, Not for overclockers, better for heavy workloads, fan goes "Mooo" a lot under load.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it fit into h110m motherboard?**
A: Yes according to intel support page it will fit H110 intel chipset. The m part is just size of the board I believe (I.e. microATX?)

**Q: Does this come with a stock cooler? Amazon suggests not but other sites suggest it does**
A: Yes it does come with stock cpu cooler but i would highly reccomend getting a replacement if you intend to render videos or game.

**Q: does the i7 7700 overheat like k edition**
A: The i7 7700 runs fine on the stock cooler that comes with it and using a cheap Arctic Freezer Pro 7 air cooler my 7700 idles at about 30C. Under load it's never gone above 85C, mostly staying around 60C on an average gaming session.

**Q: Will this go in a B250 motherboard?**
A: yes ... i have it in a b250

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Item good quality but wrong CPU
*by S***Y on 26 February 2025*

My son ordered this item but there was confusion with the CPU and therefore this item was incorrect. We had a little difficulty arranging the return due to an error message that kept appearing but once contact was made with the seller they quickly arranged the return and refund.
