Very powerful cpu, sits at 4.2 ghz most of the time

Been running for 2 weeks now with no issues. Installation was simple. CPU drops into the LHGA 1700 socket. Stock CPU fan comes in the box and snaps on top of the CPU (see photo). I run compute intensive ML models and execution time is slightly faster than a 11th gen core i9-11900. So far I am very happy with the purchase As an aside the first CPU delivered has to be returned as the board would not boot. The return process was easy and efficient - Great customer service

I love it. Works perfect for gaming and really anything you throw at it. Price is reasonable for what you are getting. Amazing processor

This was used on in a mITX build with an Asus ROG Strix z790i motherboard and worked well right out of the box. Paired up with 64g DDR5 in XMP just fine without additional overclocking. I am happy with the CPU, boot time is roughly 10 seconds which is great and runs pretty cool. This setup did run a little hotter than my z590i with the 11700 but a slightly larger cpu cooler solved that issue.

This new Intel i7 CPU was purchased along a new ASUS motherboard, and with 2 new Corsair 16GB DDR5 memory modules. All three of these new components have been installed into my older computer providing new life/speed/performance), to my 5 yr old computer. All three were purchased from BB, delivered on time, and picked up at the local BB store - great job BB !
