    Delidded! SIMPLY AWSOME! 4.8GHz All Cores
    This cpu is Amazing. Put it in a Asus Strix x299 E mother board running 2 Samsung NvMe 960 pro's in raid 0. ASUS 1080ti, and 32 gig 3200 ram. Tested stock in/with Adobe Premiere, Handbreak, 4k Rendering, 4k gaming, Intel Extrem Testing, etc, It was SIMPLY Incredable! Temps were good pushing, 75c plus in these applications, and a bit higher under prime95 Toucher Testing, but No throttling Then pulled it, delidded it. Using liquid metal grizzly conductent, then began the tediously slow over clocking process.(Corsair V2, 240 closed loop water cooler installed). After much tweeking in small increments and time, I acheved , 5.0 GHz, Windows Boot and stable, not exeding 85c under intel extreem testing but, failed a 24 hour prime95 stability testing. (Could not boot into windows at 5.1 GHz) Backing off with offset of 3 and 4, I achieved 4.8GHz, all core sinked finally, and passed a 48 hour prime95 cpu torcher test (delidded, water cooled closed loop) temp not exeding 86c. In everyday 4k rendering, photo shop, Handbreak, etc temps do not exeed 72c to 74c at most. Riding high 60c mostly. Then back down to 32c under no load. 4.8GHz, Stable all cores. This Exceeded my expectations for this CPU (or i won the silicon lotery). It runs cooler than my i7 7700k Kaybe Lake, Delidded, water cooled, with a stable over clock of 4.9GHz all cores, 3 and 4 ofset. For a Refrance... the Delided, water cooled i7 7700k 4 core Kaby Lake, Handbreaked a 30 gig move at variable bitrate, HQ H.265 Encoading in 1 hour 56 minutes hitting high 80c's, bumping into mid 90c's. The Delided, Water Cooled 4.8GHz over clocked 12 core i9 7920x bumped low 70c, highest 75c and did the same movie, with same encoding settings in 32 minutes. All i can say is, "Holy Cow"!! But for you gamers only, know this cpu is overkill and a Waust of your money. If you are a gamer only, Go with the 8700k 6 core Coffee Lake, delidded it, water cool it and clock it to a stable 5.0GHz on a good Asus, Gigabyte motherboard z370 chip set and have fun!! But for refrance, CPU never goes above 58c on any game, but most of my games are more GPU intensive, hence the Asus 1080ti. Still, frame rate hitting the cpu is smooth and above 120 frame rate im most everthing, higher in some, (BUTTERY SMOOTH) game dependant. But go with Coffee Lake for gaming, 6 core 8700k. I am in love with this CPU in every way and it eats everything i though at its 12 cores, even doing back grown internet, youtube, etc while rendering 4k, handbreaking, etc... all cotes are not even at 100 percent utilization... AMAZING!! .This CPU, in my opention is the best price point to dollar to core ratio, but i leave you to your own opintion. Remember, intels base clock stock speed rating, no turbo or overclock is 2.9 on this CPU. I have it all cores, 4.8GHz, delidded, 240 corsair closed loop water cooled .. running stable and cool. If you can pass a 48 hour prime95 test , Your overclock (in my opention) is STABLE!! Enjoy what ever you choose. This was my choise. Iam a Verified Amazon buyer at $1088.00

    5.0 out of 5 stars ¿Cual temperatura alta?
    Reviewed in Mexico on March 8, 2018
    Update despues de 1 mes y medio de uso.

    Todo sigue funcionando de maravilla y ahora tengo números más reales de trabajos:

    Render con Arnold Render (Maya 2018) a 5k de resolución a 300 dpis
    5820k - 145 Minutos
    7900x - 63 Minutos

    Render con Arnold Render (Maya 2018) a 2k de resolución a 72 dpis
    5820k - 24 Minutos
    7900x - 10 Minutos

    La temperatura ha disminuido un poco más no se si por que ya se asentó al 100% la pasta térmica pero a Full Render no sobrepasa los 63 Grados Celsius.

    Es una maravilla de procesador completamente recomendable si vas a vivir de el, si es para gaming o hobbie creo que hay mejores opciones, pero para trabajo, puedo decir que en tan solo 1 mes este procesador ya prácticamente se pago.

    ------------------

    Antes que nada me gustaría darles un brief de a que me dedico: Actualmente soy Generalista 3D y muchas veces me llevo el trabajo a casa o me cae uno que otro freelanceo, por lo que tener un equipo de última generación es básico para mi, ahora si al review del producto.

    Después de analizar los i9 y los threadrippers y haber leído en todo internet acerca de lo caliente que es este procesador me decidi a comprar Intel, ya que llego muchos años usandolo y NUNCA he tenido un solo problema, ademas los foros de AMD estan repletos de problemas de inestabilidad en los TR y de incompatibilidad con memorias RAM.

    7900x, desata a la bestia.

    Viniendo de un 5820k (tampoco nada despreciable) la diferencia es muchísima, trabajos de producción en After Effects, Premiere, Nuke y Maya los realiza más de 2 veces más rápido, render para impresión que con el 5820k tomaban al rededor de 2 horas ahora toman 45 minutos, esto ha optimizado muchísimo mis tiempos, me ha permitido tomar mas freelanceos y ha aumentado la calidad de mi trabajo, a mas poder de procesamiento mas cosas puedo meterle.

    Ahora hablemos de algo que a muchos les da miedo, la temperatura, en este caso no se si los reviewers sean pagados por alguien o como funcione pero personalmente no se me hace que este procesador corra caliente, lo estoy usando junto con un AIO NZXT Kraken X62 y en idle normalmente esta entre 27 y 32 grados Centigrados, una vez lanzado un render y que el procesador se usa al 100% la temperatura comienza a subir, pero nada que me alarme, la temperatura máxima que le he visto a un núcleo es de 65 grados, nada fuera de lo común y esto usando el modo "Silent" del Kraken. La realidad es que el 5820k a full load llegaba al rededor de los 58 grados por lo que para mi la diferencia es mínima dado cuanto poder tiene de mas.

    Lo bueno:
    - Excelente procesador, muy fácil de instalar.
    - Calidad garantizada, solo lo instale y al primer intento booteo e instalo Windows sin ningún inconveniente.
    - Velocidades de infarto hasta 2.5 veces más rápido que un 5820k.
    - Tenía miedo de la temperatura pero para mi gusto y estándares 65 grados después de un render a 6k y 300 DPIs no es nada.
    - Se que ya lo menciono, pero han probado 10 nucleos a 4.3 GHz??? Es una bestia!!!

    Lo malo
    - El costo, si bien es una herramienta de trabajo que se paga sola desembolsar más de $20,000 por un procesador es bastante.

    Amazon como siempre una maravilla, ordene el domingo por la noche y el martes antes de mediodía ya tenía mi paquete, perfectamente empacado y en perfecto estado.
