Nice! Ordered...

9$ more than Z270 model of this board.

Now, I need to get the 35W TDP CPUs, and H370 model of this board.

No boards even listed. 1 shop has the 8700K for €400 but only as pre-order with no specified date. What a crappy day.

Edit: and it's gone. F..k

Yep looking like a rushed launch.

When you have people up all night on launch day looking for a 8700k chip and can't get one something is off.

Yep, clearly rushed. Probably released as soon as they had salable chips. In a less relaxed launch, they would've built inventory up for 3-4 months before launch.

I saw this on reddit, not sure if they ship to Netherlands and the price seems crazy. But FYI

As long as MCE works with the i7-8700 you're probably better off getting that and pairing the price difference into faster ram (at least 3200 CL16). Would be 5ghz vs 4.6ghz.

May a grown man cry here? Would that be okay with you all?

You may. The availability of CFL is dismal.

Just don't let the tears get into my real coffee. *bro hug*

My 8 month old unopened box of Corsair DDR4-3200 32GB is looking at me with a sad face.

 

[RichUK]

My 8700k should be in my hands within the next 24 hours.

 

[RichUK]

Think I might put it on ebay with a £1000 reserve

Do it! You never know, @TheF34RChannel might go for it.

I decided to say "screw it", I don't need the 8700K right now, as fun as it is to overclock. Instead I'm just opting for an 8700 (non-K), and finally building the ITX system that I've been meaning to build for a while. It should be plenty for a VR, 4K HTPC after I pick up a smaller 1070/1070Ti or 1080, or an RX Nano if it should appear anytime soon.

It's nice that there's an ITX motherboard available at launch, and from ASRock. Note that Newegg has a $10 to $20 CPU/mobo combo discount ($10 in this instance, as well as a $10 MIR).

 

[Slappi]

What did Intel do?!? Release like 10 8700ks? The motherboard combos with the 8700k at Newegg never even had stock that I saw.

 

[RichUK]

They've been officially released at e-tailers for 18 minutes - so who has got their hands on a new Coffee Lake?

 

[elhefegaming]

I'm so disappointed right now, I would buy a Ryzen just out of spite

 

[raghu78]

Intel is back in business. 8700k is a fantastic product . Massive ST and gaming perf lead over Ryzen 7/5 and very competitive MT against the 1800x even beating it out in few benchmarks . Intel's 8400 is winning comprehensively against R5 1500X and beating R5 1600 in ST and gaming. Right now Intel's biggest challenge will be to meet the demand for 8700k. All hail the new mainstream king - 8700k.

All the usual reviewers got 8700K and 8400 review units. Here's a non-K 8700 review for anyone else interested:

 

[Flacco]

So woke up just after 3am est and got a back ordered 8700k off newegg. When I woke up at 7:30 local microcenter site did not have anything on it. On my way to microcenter from the office is up now and showing out of stock (as of around 8:45) and at a price of $500. RIP Even if it was in stock I don't think I'd pay that much of a markup.

Guess I shouldn't have bought everything yet. Extremely disappointed. I don't have a PC at the moment since mine died over a month ago and I'm itching to get gaming again.

 

[Slappi]

Just read the Anand review...... something is wrong with some of those gaming 8700k results.


Even though a few 8700ks and 8600ks got out I would call this a paper launch for those processors.

 

[Crono]

8700 now out of stock at Newegg.

 

[Burpo]

Yeah, they removed it from my cart at newegg while I was adding RAM.
