Core i7-7700 4-core desktop CPU

The Intel Core i7-7700 is a quad-core desktop processor built on the 14nm Kaby Lake architecture. It delivers a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.2 GHz across its eight threads. An integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 engine runs at 350 MHz base and 1.15 GHz maximum dynamic frequency. This OEM package contains the processor only.

LGA 1151 socket with 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes

The processor fits the LGA 1151 socket and communicates through a PCI Express 3.0 interface limited to 16 lanes. Memory and expansion bandwidth are constrained by this lane count and the 3.0 revision. The 65W thermal design power defines the cooling capacity required for sustained operation. System performance scales within these interface boundaries.

OEM tray processor requires separate cooler

No cooling solution is included in the box, so a compatible LGA 1151 cooler must be sourced separately. Installation follows the standard socket retention mechanism but demands careful alignment of the notched corners. The most common issues are bent socket pins during seating and insufficient thermal paste coverage leading to throttle under load.

Questions about this item

Which i7-7700 variant suits a 65 W LGA 1151 build?

This CM8067702868314 model is a 65 W quad-core with 8 threads, 8 MB L3 cache and Intel HD Graphics 630, so it fits standard LGA 1151 boards without needing extra power phases.

What does the 4.2 GHz turbo deliver in daily use?

The 4.2 GHz max turbo lifts single-thread speed for snappy app launches and light gaming, while the 3.6 GHz base keeps multi-thread workloads steady within the 65 W envelope.

How does the PCIe 3.0 x16 link affect GPU and storage choices?

The processor provides 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0, enough for one full-speed graphics card and a direct-attached M.2 drive without sharing bandwidth.
