The ignore feature on this forum engine is great. You don't even see it when someone quotes a troll.
You are right. Thanks for the input on this.

AM3+? Yeah, some of those boards had issues. But Intel is a bit more strict, and at least at stock clocks / turbo, Intel specs out the boards to be able to handle all of their CPU SKUs. Which top out at 95W TDP. Unlike AM3+.
I would just set the offset to run ~4.2 (ie, if OC is 5.0GHz set offset to 8). That should be safe regardless of your overclock. I would not want a big overclock with no AVX offset. You may find yourself running something with AVX one day unknowingly.Since I'll never use workloads that utilise AVX, do I still need to set an offset for the 8700K? Hopefully not as it'll save me some time testing.
Having said that, poster Chrisch on OCN has some great results with AVX2 and 8600k
Almost 200W and only 66C

I think this guy does a very thorough review on memory speeds, overclocking etc for the 8700K. His consensus was 4.7 and 3000mhz ram was enough for gaming, there's only a couple of frames in it. The 8700k totally destroys the 7700k by the way, it's quite the revelation.
Anyone have a pre order with shopblt? I would think if they(shopblt) has some coming in on the 23rd that Newegg and BHPhoto should get some in by then as well. Wondering if I should pre order there as well to cover all my basis?
I'm pre-ordered with B&H. I called them today - they are just back from holiday - and the guy said he hasd no ETA to give me. So I'm just going to hang in there till I have the CPU in hand meaning I won't buy my case, or NVMe drive till then. Might be a 970 Pro by that time, or a Define r6 with USB 3.1 up front. Likewise I'll wait on the motherboard it may ship with updated firmware......the waiting is a drag though.
Are you sure a cheap X299 board can handle a 7820X at turbo speeds?But he did mistake. He used dual channel for i7 7820X.
While 3000MT/s doesn't tell you that much, also latencies are important.
Since i7 7820X/7800X and i7 8700K have same IPC, I would assume that with fast (low latency) quad memory channel i7 7820X/7800X will be better.
Nobody does "DEEP dive" in this stuff.
