Intel Core i7-8700K 6-Core 12-Thread Processor Review

Power Consumption and Temperatures


Power Consumption

The 8700K is a powerful hex-core CPU, so obviously it uses a fair bit of power. It actually used more power than any Ryzen 7, but again, it is turning that wattage into raw performance, so it’s not like it’s wasting it.

Temperatures

At 66c under full load, it’s pretty easy to keep this CPU cool. It did freak out a bit at 5 GHz, but 90c is still manageable, and we expect a delidding will cure that classic Intel mistake of not soldering their CPUs.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
