Intel "Coffee Lake" Builders Thread

[Arachnotronic]

It looks like they have been pulled. I assume they were not supposed to have been listed?

Nope. Not supposed to be up until CFL launch on Oct. 5.

What AIO are you replacing the fans on. I have done a lot of fan testing, and I have never been impressed with any Fractals.

Replacing silent fans on a Corsair H105. Many others have been impressed by FD so I'm good. Certainly better than what I have now.

Was the Maximus Code on the list?

380 USD. Not a bad price for 8700K.

Seems connection has some boards in stock but a bit inflated. Never ordered from them before.

Shopblt say they have some of the lower board in stock. never ordered from them either not sure how up to date they are.

Tigerdirect as well just search z370.
Neobits.com has a Gigabyte Z370 HD3p in stock (do a z370 search)


I'll try me best to post where I find stuff in stock but ill be at work so im hopefully relying on other to let me know when a Maximus X Hero is in stock Someone better pm or email me lol

See mostly Strix series and a TUF.

OK, I ordered a ... i3-8100 quad-core Coffee Lake! I had a stack of $10 off $100+ order coupons that Newegg slipped into some of my recent orders that had been piling up, and I had honestly been ignoring them, but then I started thinking the other day, I should take advantage of some of those coupons, plus, Intel CPUs are rarely discounted, and while the CFL CPUs are still at list, then list - coupon == discounted price.

So, the i3-8100 was $119.99, minus $10. I think $0.99 shipping.

Now I need a board. (Going to re-use some of my RAM, can't afford any fancy DDR4 for it.) Prefer ITX?

Seems weird that the boards haven't shown up en-mass yet.

Edit: My board!

I'm thinking of turning this into a pfsense box. Since I now have gigabit internet, I would like to build myself a really NICE router-box. And that ITX board has TWO Intel GigE ports, and an M.2 socket (or two, one on the back too).

LoL, I had a 8700k in my cart at Newegg and hit checkout and they already soldout and it was removed.

ASRock Z370 mITX has been leaked some time ago. Im going to buy the H370 version, when it will be released(early 2018).

I did auto notify on Newegg.

 

[elhefegaming]

WTF?
it was supposed to be on the 5th.
fuck you intel

What did Intel do?

 

[elhefegaming]

What did Intel do?

I don't, I just want to blame somebody

So that's it? tomorrow nothing happens and I can't buy the cpu till god knows when?

 

[Slappi]

Yah it's Newegg not Intel.

 

[elhefegaming]

Yah it's Newegg not Intel.

Well then fuck Newegg. Hopefully it'll show up on amazon

 

[Slappi]

I bet Amazon hold out until the 5th.

 

[Arachnotronic]

I'm pretty annoyed. If I'd known the chips would go up for sale today, I would've been actively checking & trying to buy the darn thing.

This is feeling like the 6700K launch all over again.

 

[Slappi]

It's just Newegg trying to get their extra $20 per CPU. Tomorrow they might not be able to.

Exactly, I was already prepared to start F5ing at 0am October 5th AST just in case

z370 round up
http://wccftech.com/intel-z370-motherboard-roundup-asus-msi-asrock-aorus-gigabyte/

A moment of silence for all the Sata ports that did not make it to z370 mobos. I guess intel has to justify the z390 somehow. No way I am going z370 with only 6 sata. It's like they couldn't use the third party controllers like they did on z270 and x370.

If supply/demand continues to be tilted in favor of demand, retailers will be able to milk their $20 per CPU -- and more.

 

[Justinbaileyman]

Ok I changed my mind I am in for a 8700k!! the $400 price point was holding me back but now that they dropped it down $25 bucks and I have a $25 discount coupon that makes it only $350.00 which to me is completely doable. I just need a motherboard which I can't seem to find any..

I'm curious: Why are you moving from an 1800X to an 8700K?

 

[Arachnotronic]

Yeah. It took me a long time to get ahold of a 6700K back in the day (had to settle with a 6600K until 6700K was available). I'm hoping to not have to wait that long to get my 8700K

 

[Keblerelf04]

I'm guessing they are moving from 1800x to 8700k for that sweet single thread performance. I'd be curious to know real world differences though since I may wind up going with a 1700x(OC to 1800) if the shortages turn up real..... or CDW-G gets no stock.

Single thread performance is so, so sweet, but the 1800X is still pretty solid in this department.
