I got this around 2-3 weeks ago and It’s been running pretty well. The i7-8700 is pretty worth it with its performance. You’d also want to get a cpu fan with it since the stock fan doesn’t actually help in cooling the cpu.

i7 8700 standard CPU - the coolest best performing CPU I've ever owned. Stock Cooler/Fan is a little noisy so did replace with an aftermarket one.

Great CPU for audio workstation

Been running on a older i7 for a while, decided to get a upgrade, but didn't want to break the bank fitted in nicely with my current setup and had 0 issues installing.

Great CPU for the workstation i put together. great for multi-tasking. Solid CPU i will always stick with intel
