Processor identity

The Intel Core i7-7800X is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop CPU built for the LGA 2066 socket and the X299 chipset. It targets enthusiasts who need high core counts for content creation, rendering or heavy multitasking. The part ships without a fan or heatsink, so a separate cooler is mandatory.

Platform requirements

Your motherboard must provide an LGA 2066 socket and an Intel X299 chipset. Memory must be DDR4 running at 2666 MT/s in a four-channel configuration. Verify that your chassis and power supply can accommodate a high-wattage processor with no included cooling solution.

Build integration

The CPU delivers 28 PCI Express lanes for graphics cards, add-in controllers or fast storage. It supports Intel Optane memory and Intel Optane SSDs for accelerated responsiveness. Thunderbolt 3 provides a 40 Gb/s bi-directional port for external peripherals, while up to eight SATA ports allow a RAID storage array.
