buy intel 8700k

I'm experiencing the same issue with my 8700k, something that concerns me is the Intel Burn Test, theorically it's used to test intel processors, so it should works well with stock configurations, but when I try to run this test my cpu reachs instantanly 100 degree... It's that really normal?

Thank you for your suggestions and help but ı strongly believe this 8th gen cpu's and 7700 k have serious problems about heating. İ just checked some forums tons of people have those heat spikes problem. İ have never faced this kind of a problem before even in my old amd and intel processors. Even i open calculator this god damn cpu create heat spike and goes from 30 degree to 55 degree and drops again.

Thank you for this excellent guide. i was looking for SIMPLE OC guide and all i could find was endless posts starting about history of intel, blah blah blah, all i needed was someone to say CHANGE THIS, THIS AND THIS.

It is still an awesome chip but you are much better off getting the new i5 9600k over the old i5 8600k. However, if you can stretch to the i7 8700k I highly recommend you do so. It has dropped in price recently thanks to the release of the new 9th gen CPUs.

The stock clock of the i7 8700k comes in at 3.7 GHz which can be overclocked to 4.7 GHz with some users achieving up to 5.0 GHz depending on the chip. It boasts 12MB of (L3) cache and 2 channels of DDR4 RAM.

With that said why even consider the i7 8700k then? Why did I choose it over the i5 8600k? I was upgrading from an i5 3570 which at the time was a solid CPU and can still hold its own today with most games at medium settings.

If you are a fan of VR, have a VR kit or looking to potentially join the VR craze in the near future then this should definitely be a deciding factor when choosing between these two chips. Both are labelled and marketed for being VR ready but I would definitely recommend the i7 8700k over the i5 8600k.

When it comes to VR frames are even more important because a low frame rate ruins your immersion and can cause nausea and disorientation. The i7 8700k will be able to manage any VR experience alongside a solid GPU and will provide you with a better experience overall compared to the i5 8600k.

A CPU is only compatible with certain motherboard chipsets which means they can only be used with motherboards with the correct socket. For the i5 8600k and i7 8700k you will need to buy a new 300 series motherboard.

The decision you make comes down to your budget. If you can afford the extra $100 for the i7 8700k then I fully recommend you pick one up. It will provide more longevity to your rig and you can be sure that you can run any game at max settings alongside a solid GPU.

If you are on a tighter budget and you want price per performance then go with the i5 9600k. It will hold its own close enough to the i7 8700k but you might end up upgrading your rig slightly sooner than you think. 041b061a72
