Great processor, very reliable, the more you push it, the more it WANTS!!!!!
This processor is still one of the best for gaming today!! I have an I7-7700K watercooled, MSI Z270A-PRO Motherboard, 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Ram, Asus Dual GTX 1070 watercooled, Samsung 970 Evo 500GB M.2 for OS, various other ssds for recording and storage, Corsair rm750x power supply. With that said both the processor and 1070 are on seperate 120mm AIO Coolers. After 4 hours of gaming I see max temps on my i7-7700k only reach in the low 50's. This processor can be a little power hungry, and can produce some heat even for a watercooled system with 120mm and 140mm fans, so beware. Other than the heat and power use (which, hopefully you knew about this before purchase), this processor is a BEAST!!!
