The 8700K is unlocked and thus can be overclocked to 5.0MHZ which provides an absolutely MASSIVE ( not slight or small ) gain over the locked 8700. Gamers are who typically purchase and benefit from CPU’s like the i7 8700K. **Q: If the highest memory supported is 2600Mhz why buy ram with higher speeds?** A: Higher ram speeds are overclocked (they operate at faster frequency (mhz) than stock). Usually higher speeds = better performance. For example, if you buy a 3200Mhz memory and put it on your motherboard, it will set it to factory default 2133Mhz (not overclocked). Now this memory has a built-in "XMP Profile" (Google this), that you can set on your BIOS to automatically overclock to 3200mhz **Q: Will this fit on my old p67 Sabertooth mobo?** A: The best CPU you can upgrade to is the Core i7-3770k. You will have to make sure the BIOS is updated before you attempt to upgrade to a 3rd Generation CPU. Your p67 Sabertooth is an LGA 1155 motherboard but the Core i7 8th Gen processors belong to a modified LGA 1151 socket, which only works on 300 series motherboards. These 8th Gen processors will not work on z270, z170 or any 100 series or 200 series LGA 1151 board. Usually you just had to match socket types but in reality you need to research the specs of your motherboard to find the CPU upgrade list. This will tell you what CPU is compatible with your motherboard. In some cases you might have to update the BIOS/UEFI in order to ensure compatibility. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING PERFORMANCE *by A***N on 2 August 2018* Great cpu for streaming, gaming and really anything you throw at it, 6 cores and 12 threads 👌 mixed with the ML120L water cooler by coolmaster the thermals were amazing, haven't had one problem. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes *by D***E on 29 June 2019* Easy installation. Very good for gaming such a fortnite at a high performance, if it runs fortnite it’ll run anything when paired with a good gpu. Would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great CPU *by D***M on 22 March 2019* This is a good improvement from previous i7 CPUs now with 6 cores instead of 4. It performs slightly better than a Ryzen 7 but has worse value for money. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i7-8700 Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.6 GHz LGA 1151 300 Series 65W - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16-20-20-38 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/48603262-intel-bx80684i78700-8th-gen-core-i7-8700-processor](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/48603262-intel-bx80684i78700-8th-gen-core-i7-8700-processor) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
