One computer, the most influential performance of non-CPU hardware is non-stop. In general, we will choose Intel's Core series i3, i5 and i7. Not to mention Intel's 8-generation Core hard to squeeze a tube of large toothpaste , From the previous generation of CPU, the mainstream are generally using i5 series CPU, budget enough friends can afford i7 series CPU.
Before the release of 6 generations of Core we can also choose E3 series, with a low price experience i7 4C8T. In 1151 platform release, the use of Xeon E3 series CPU becomes very troublesome.
As we all know, master of smell is never a pursuit of low-cost people, The use of hardware are based on the quality of the pursuit of the highest quality and low price Since the use of Core i5-6600, always feel that four boxes are not enough, when playing lol forgot to off the webcast will appear dropped frames.
Is the so-called 'endless enterprising, I have no guilty', this must be used Core i7! As a pursuit of cost-effective people, I find ways to pursue the cheap 4C8T CPU, and finally found in various network operators Core i7-7700K ES Edition CPU. However ES version of the CPU has always been known as 'unstable', 'there is BUG' Why choose an unstable CPU?
First, we know that 7 generations of Core Duo is 6 generations of Core vest, each corresponding model only increased frequency and optimize power consumption.With the entire 6th generation Core as a reference, 7 generations of ES Edition CPU does not have quality problems.
The Core i7-7700K official version is B0 step, ES version is A0 step, as the previous version of the official version, I think the ES version of the CPU technology has been quite mature, and there will be no BUG and instability occurs, Moreover, this ES version of the CPU does not lock, it means I can Through the overclocking its performance infinitely close to the official version of the Core i7-7700K.
Core i7-7700K official version and Core i7-7700K ES version of the parameters comparison
The official version of the 7700K clocked at 4.2GHz, the largest Turbo 4.5GHz, the largest quad-core Turbo 4.4GHz.
ES version of 7700K clocked at 3.7GHz, the largest Turbo 4.1GHz, the maximum quad-core Turbo 3.7GHz.
Judging from the two parameters, the official version is indeed a lot higher than the ES version of the frequency, which is understandable, but both are not locked multiplier, Core i7-7700K ES version can catch up with the Core overclocking i7-7700K official version.
The official version and the beta version of the performance test
The test platform used by the following:
Core i7-7700K on the official version of the performance of the various frequencies, there is a very complete online data, so this test I only collect the data under the official version of the Core i7-7700K Mute. Core i7-7700K ES version, I will Mute and overclocked to 4.4GHz test.
Odor master their own relatively chilly, only ES version of the CPU overclocked to 4.8Ghz use, and PConline evaluation room configuration luxury, to take this opportunity I will Core i7-7700K ES version of the overclocked to 5.0GHz as a sample test, look See how much my CPU potential.
As for the temperature, due to own Core i7-7700K ES version to do Open the cover fluid heat treatment of gold , Comparison test Core i7-7700K official version did not open the cover, this test Does not involve temperature comparison.
The first is the CPU-Z test, you can see the Core i7-7700K ES version with the official version of the same frequency, ES version of the score slightly lower and the official version.
In the chess test, both the same frequency performance comparable, ES version of the CPU frequency of silence, 4.4GHz and 5Ghz performance ratio is also normal.
Finally, the R15 test, the result is true, Core i7-7700K ES version of the score slightly lower than the Core i7-7700K official version.
Core i7-7700K official version 4.4GHz
Core i7-7700K ES version 4.4GHz
Core i7-7700K official version 4.4GHz
Core i7-7700K ES version 4.4GHz
From the above three professional test software point of view, the same frequency, the Core i7-7700K official version of the performance is slightly higher than the Core i7-7700K ES version, but we can be ignored, concluded: the same frequency performance That is to say, we can use the Core i7-7700K ES version as the official version, through a lower price to buy Core i7 performance experience.
to sum up
In the above several tests can be seen, At the same frequency Core i7-7700K ES version is not worse than the official version of the Core i7-7700K , And there is enough space overclocked with the official version of a showdown.
Of course, the structure is not perfect led to a slight gap with the frequency, but also Inborn frequency lower lead to overclocking to the same frequency as the official version, you need a higher voltage After all, the test version, if the performance is completely comparable to the official version, then the price also increased accordingly.
The Core i7-7700K ES version of my hand through the open lid for liquid gold, greatly enhance the heat transfer capability, overclocked to 5.0Ghz single-baked FPU test, The temperature does not exceed 80 ℃, But the voltage is slightly higher than the official version, Just boot up close to 1.4V, the test is about 1.36V.
Currently, ES version of the CPU price is about two-thirds of the official version , Coupled with powerful overclocking capabilities, the performance is still able to outperform the Core i5-8400, after the same price with the motherboard, the DDR4 platform is still the most cost-effective one of the CPU. Have the ability and toss friends can try one Core i7-7700K ES version play.
end
Since the launch of the 1151 platform, Core i7-6400T ES version of this popular CPU has emerged, only a few hundred CPU can be overclocked to 4.5GHz use, but many people 'get in the car' and found that there are many BUG , And different versions of the ES version of the CPU overclocking ability and the presence of BUG are not the same .This fight luck products can not be my eyes.
At the end of 2017, Intel introduced the 8th generation of Core. The 6-core Core i5 successfully hits all of its predecessors' quad-core Core i7s. As the Z370 motherboard is too expensive, the price performance of the 8th generation core has not reached the expected level.
The Core i7-8700K version of the CPU has been introduced on the market, but it is not the same with the odor of the CPU, there is no basis for the previous generation technology, so I do not know how stable it is , I do not make a comment.After all, Core i7-7700K mature technology based on the previous generation, by increasing the frequency from, even the ES version of the CPU also has some technical support.
Biostar B150ET3
We all know that many of the 1151 non-Z series motherboards now feature overclocking and even DDR3 memory. The motherboard for the Odyssey mainframe is the Biostar 'B150ET3' with overclocking and the entry-level Z170 motherboard from the back, Z170 Zeus', such motherboards with overclocking capabilities with the Core i7-7700K ES version are very cost-effective.
But I want to remind everyone, When choosing the motherboard must see clearly CPU power supply must be 4 + 4PIN, and 7 phase power supply above , But also pay attention to some of ASRock motherboard overclocking feature is not overclocking frequency multiplier.
Choose cost-effective version of the ES CPU with entry-level overclocking motherboard can easily get 4C8T plus 4.7GHz frequency CPU performance, but this is almost their limit, in order to further overclocking you must use better quality and more powerful motherboard.
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX FORMULA
Like this time using the Asus 'Maximus IX Formula' Z270 motherboard in a PConline evaluation room, easily overclocking the CPU to 5.0 GHz and running the voltage below 1.4V all over the temperature, voltage and frequency throughout the test Stable, and did not appear at home when the voltage is pulled to 1.4 above in order to boot into the desktop at 5GHz frequency, no higher than 4.8GHz single-roasted FPU frequency doubling down to 37 cases.
It seems like the ultimate overclocking or to have a strong motherboard for support, this ASUS ROG Z270 really is the strength and price with the motherboard.
