Intel Core i7-7820X 8-Core 16-Thead Processor Review

Power Consumption and Temperatures

Power Consumption

As one of the more powerful processors on the market, the Intel Core i7-7820X is pretty thirsty when it comes to power draw. Sure, it’s taking a fair few watts to power it, but when it comes to rendering, gaming and more, it’s obviously delivering great performance in return.

Temperatures

All that power has to go somewhere though, and more often than not, it’ll turn to heat. At stock, it’s pretty easy to keep this CPU cool, maxing out at just 66c. On our Noctua NH-D15S, it peaked at 92c while overclocked, so perhaps upping your fan profile, or getting a high performance water cooler would be a good investment.
