The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?
tbh, i'd have to agree. most people with a 7700k boost the clock to the highest they can go while still being able to start windows in general. they arnt stability testing, and just restart when they bluescreen their systems. the only thing they talk about is being able to run their system at 5+ghz, and dont mention that its not stable at that frequency.
i know my system is capable of running benchmarks at 5ghz, but i know through testing prime95 and other testing software the highest i could go while staying stable was 4.8ghz.
the primary reason people get a 7700k is to be able to change the clock speeds.

SunOneElse I get that many tech savvy people over lock, and are interested enough to engage more with forums like this- but there are a huge number of folk like me out there, who don’t overclock- we simply try to get the best spec we can buy at the time- and then are dumped on by Microsoft. It’s low, real low. (Anyone remember MS saying win10 was “the last OS you’ll ever need”?? I prob. Misremembered that, but that’s what it seemed to me they said at the time. An i7700 quad core user as it comes out of the box. And I still think a 99.7% crash free experience with i7700 and win11 <is> good enough for MS to officially adopt. Why so different from 99.8%???
