HWZ's Overall Rating: 7.5
THE GOOD
Good overclocking potential
Strong gaming performance
High base clock and excellent single-threaded performance
THE BAD
16 PCIe lanes from the CPU limits the features on the X299 platform
Not that much better than the Core i7-7700K
Only dual-channel memory support
