    Purchased this as an upgrade over my i7 7700k unlocked, cant say I notice a jaw dropping difference in performance but this one is just as speedy as the previous for sure. Had some issues at first with drivers but I also upgraded my motherboard so that could’ve been the issue too. If you already have 7700k and don’t need to update your MB, stick with what you’ve got.

    This CPU-I7-8700k was installed in my new build 2 weeks ago so I haven't started over-clocking it yet. So far it's excellent.
