Desktop processor for high-core workloads

The Intel Core i7-7820X delivers eight cores and 16 threads on the FCLGA2066 platform. Base frequency sits at 3.60 GHz with a maximum turbo of 4.30 GHz. It supports up to 128 GB of memory depending on the modules used. The package contains the CPU only.

Thermals and power in daily operation

As a high-performance desktop part the processor will draw significant power under load and requires a capable cooler. The clean-pull unit has been tested to OEM specifications and shows no deep scratches, missing capacitors or board separation. Minor cosmetic signs from prior use are present.

Upgrade path and when it matters

This chip replaces an older LGA2066 CPU when more cores or higher clocks are needed for rendering, compilation or virtualization. The jump is worthwhile if your current processor limits multi-thread throughput and your motherboard supports the socket. Buyers who need integrated graphics or a manufacturer warranty should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the i7-7820X into the FCLGA2066 socket without bending pins?

Align the triangle marker on the processor with the socket corner, lower it straight down without force, then close the retention lever until it clicks.

What replacement interval applies to the thermal interface between the CPU and cooler?

Replace the thermal paste whenever the cooler is removed; the clean-pull unit ships without paste so you must apply a fresh layer at first install.

At what frequency does the 8-core 16-thread processor settle during prolonged all-core workloads?

The base frequency is 3.60 GHz; sustained all-core operation will run at or near this speed depending on cooling capacity.
