Does this include a thermal solution?
If it’s new in box it should, but regardless that gen of fans weren’t good and should be replaced anyways.
Get an aftermarket cooler, as the Intel stock cooler is woefully inadequate and causes thermal throttling. It didn’t change from prior generations, and on the 8700:
As you can see in the second slide, Intel’s cooler was quickly overwhelmed, causing the processor to repeatedly bounce off of its 100 ° C temperature limit and throttle performance to protect itself (charted in red in the lower window).
