Intel® Core™ i7-11700KF Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 (Intel® 500 Series & Select 400 Series Chipset) 125W

Is this a reason to post my build, maybe. Great CPU. My buddy and I had a build competition and he chose the K version which doesn't make sense since we have GPUs. Anyway held great under stress tests for a few hours and have not had any problems with speed. Definitely lives up to the i7 name.

The Intel® Core™ i7-11700KF is an absolute beast of a processor, and it’s been the perfect choice for my high-performance PC build. With 8 cores and a turbo boost of up to 5.0 GHz, it handles everything I throw at it, from intense gaming sessions to video editing and multitasking, without breaking a sweat.Since it’s unlocked, overclocking is a breeze for squeezing out even more performance, and paired with a good cooling solution, it stays cool and stable. This CPU also takes full advantage of PCIe 4.0, making it perfect for high-speed SSDs and GPUs.I love that it skips the integrated graphics, allowing me to focus entirely on my discrete GPU. It’s an excellent choice for gamers who want raw power and for creators who need smooth performance for demanding applications.If you’re building a PC and want a processor that delivers top-tier performance at a great value, the i7-11700KF is a no-brainer. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to take their setup to the next level! 🚀✨

The I7 saved some money over I9 but it seems as fast for the games I play and apps I run. Great Processor!

Working great so far, was a much needed upgrade from my i5-4670k..I jumped from 2012 to 2022 in one grand leap of upgrades, into "oh wow my CPU isn't at 100% when playing these games anymore?" (GTA V, Tarkov, FiveM, etc.)Running in this setup: MSI Z590 motherboard, 64gb Corsair Vengeance RAM (2x 32gb), Gigabyte RTX 3060 Gaming OC, Evga Supernova 750 G6 power supply, and the Noctua NH-U12S Redux as the CPU cooler keeps this going just fine. Everything air cooled since the last cooler was a liquid cooler that spontaneously screwed me over one day when the pumps failed while I was out of the house (somehow didn't fry anything besides my nerves). Watching the temperature on the CPU with this cooler, I have rarely seen the CPU hit 67c while running TWO instances of GTA V on max graphics.

The Intel line is the best and most stable processor made. Just place it in its socket and boot and you'll be up and running - whether it be i5, i7, or i9.

Had to replace an i7-10700K that died and needed an LGA1200 compatible, so this was the logical choice. Working great so far, performance pretty much where the 10700K was when it was working well.

I bought a KF in error, my bad. I compared it to my i9-11900K and immediately realized that the compromises made in the i7-11700 was not tro my liking. Tried to save a buck and wound up loosing.

This processor is amazing and fast. Best for the price too!
