Best CPU ever!

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
