Barely utilises capabilities of X299 platform, High TDP
The Intel Core i7-7740X is a unique proposition from Intel. It has exhibited some of the best single-threaded performance we've seen with the Kabylake microarchitecture. However, the 7700K along with a Z270 board seems to offer near about the same perform...
Fully loaded with features and connectivity, RGB LEDs everywhere, Excellent construction quality, One-touch overclocking
