Intel Core i7-7700 desktop processor

Quad-core desktop CPU for LGA 1151 platforms

The Intel Core i7-7700 delivers four cores and eight threads at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz with a maximum turbo of 4.2 GHz. It targets builders upgrading or repairing systems based on Intel 100 or 200 series chipsets. The processor supports up to 64 GB of DDR4-2133/2400 or DDR3L-1333/1600 memory at 1.35 V. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 handles display output without a discrete card.

65 W thermal design keeps cooling simple

With a 65 W TDP the chip runs cool enough for standard tower or low-profile coolers in typical workloads. No cooling device is included so a compatible LGA 1151 heatsink must be sourced separately. Power draw stays modest during everyday tasks, helping system builders avoid oversized power supplies. Acoustic levels depend on the chosen cooler rather than the processor itself.

Fits 100 and 200 series motherboards only

The LGA 1151 socket limits installation to Intel 100 or 200 series chipset boards, so verify the motherboard before purchase. Dual-channel memory controllers free up DIMM slots for up to 64 GB total capacity. Optane memory support adds a caching option for mechanical drives. The integrated graphics engine frees a PCIe slot when a discrete GPU is not required.
