Intel SR338 Core i7-7700 4.2 GHz Processor Renewed

Name: Intel SR338 Core i7-7700 4.2 GHz Processor Renewed
Brand: Intel
SKU: SR338

Overview

The Intel Core i7-7700 (SR338) is a 7th-generation Kaby Lake desktop processor that delivers a solid combination of clock speed and multi-threading capability. With a base frequency of 3.60 GHz and Turbo Boost speeds reaching up to 4.20 GHz, it handles demanding single-threaded tasks with ease while its 4-core, 8-thread configuration provides enough parallel processing power for gaming, video editing, streaming, and everyday multitasking. The 8 MB SmartCache further assists performance by keeping frequently accessed data close to the CPU cores.

This renewed unit supports up to 64 GB of DDR4-2133/2400 or DDR3L-1333/1600 memory (at 1.35V), giving builders flexibility with their RAM choices. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 provides basic display capability for systems that don't require a dedicated GPU, and Intel Optane Memory support is included for those looking to accelerate storage access on compatible setups. Since this is a CPU-only listing, buyers will need to provide their own cooling solution and should verify their motherboard uses an Intel 100 or 200 Series chipset with the FCLGA1151 socket before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What motherboard chipsets are compatible with the i7-7700?

The i7-7700 uses the FCLGA1151 socket and is compatible only with motherboards based on Intel 100 Series or 200 Series chipsets (such as Z270, Z170, B250, or H270).

Does this renewed processor come with a cooler or thermal paste?

No, this listing is for the CPU only. A heatsink, fan, and thermal paste are not included—you will need to supply your own cooling solution.

What does "renewed" mean for this processor?

A renewed processor has been inspected, tested, and restored to working condition. It will arrive in generic packaging rather than original retail boxing.

What type of memory does the i7-7700 support?

It supports DDR4-2133/2400 and DDR3L-1333/1600 (at 1.35V) memory, with a maximum supported capacity of 64 GB depending on your motherboard.

Does the i7-7700 have integrated graphics?

Yes, it includes Intel UHD Graphics 630, so you can run a display without a dedicated graphics card, though a discrete GPU is recommended for gaming or GPU-intensive workloads.
