Newegg had them in stock for quite a while so I got off my duff and finally ordered one.

Thinking of switching my 2500k over to nas/vm server duties (light loads, plex and stuff like Fog)

Yes. Stock is slowly recovering.

Recovering means it was available at some point.

silicon lottery published their 8700K binning results:

4.9 GHz / 1.387V Vcore 100%
5.0 GHz / 1.40V Vcore 81%
5.1 GHz / 1.412V Vcore 58%
5.2 GHz / 1.425V Vcore 30%
5.3 GHz / 1.437V Vcore 6%

(-2 AVX offset for all of them)
quite impressive imo, though their voltages are a bit on the high side.
I can't find what they're using to evaluate stability but I'm guessing something like Prime95 1344K without AVX.

If you're having problems you're either holding the phone wrong or you have tiny girl hands.
If they are doing -2 avx they probably are doing prime95.

Well I have a case and a power supply - I need to find a motherboard. Preferably one that is compatible with the newest 8600k i5.

- mATX
- at least 1x M.2 hard drive slots

Reliability of the brand/board is most important followed by price and performance. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just bought the ASRock z370m Pro4: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z370M%20Pro4/

The other main option is the Asus strix z370g which is a lot pricier and has a bunch of stuff I don’t need like wifi etc.

The ASRock hasn’t arrived yet but I have used their boards at work quite a bit and they are always great. A solid brand.

I had never considered the ASRock brand before but that looks like a really solid mobo for $150 on Amazon. The demand seems pretty high for this motherboard.

My current system has a Gigabyte mobo with a Core i7 920 from a couple years ago. I was looking at Gigabyte and the more recent reviews seem to be more mixed.

This “App Shop” hokey garbage is in no way required, right?

I used to only get Asus motherboards and pretend support didn't exist. I've seen a bunch of reports of people getting extremely good support from Asrock and it leans me heavily towards them for my next build. That's in addition to their build quality being up there with the best from any other brand. The only real reason I was sticking with Asus was because I already knew how their bioses were setup and knowing their weird names for things was worth spending the extra 20-30 dollars rather than spending time learning something new.

The reviews I've seen for the extreme4 has it as the best under $200. I assume the pro4 is the same quality as it is just the micro atx version. I have the extreme4 ordered and should be delivered by tommorow.

I've used asrock in the past and I've never had a problem with them to date for what it's worth.

The Pro4 is a step down in features and such from the Extreme4, also there is a full ATX version of the Pro4, it's priced about $35 less than the Extreme4.

There are 3d printed ones on eBay for $12 that just require a vice.

Yea just search for 3d print delid tool. Make sure you print 100% infill.

Pretty sure it's this one, the shape of the hole in the one part matches. Apparently it's strong enough at 40% infill and ebay sellers print them at 60%

Delid successful! Wasn't that bad overall and I can see the next one being super easy.

Running 5ghz at 1.3v, could push more out of it but I like how cool everything runs. 67c CPU and 41c GPU, 100% load running Realbench for 2 hours. Delidding dropped temps from a high of 84c on CPU so rather significant.

Used a small clamp and some permatex black silicon. I flipped it over in the 3d printed delid tool to support it so the clamp wouldn't touch the capacitors on the bottom and just tightened it enough to push it closed, not enough to bend the pcb. A small dab on all 4 corners

You dont need high temp, this stuff is fine up to 450F/232c

Debating delidding my i7 3770k. Temps are going up and it has been almost 6 years so I am going to have to reseat it anyway.

Does anyone have decent resources on doing it? I have access to a lot of tools. So I don't think I need to buy a kit, but I also am not entirely sure what I need to do to safely remove it. Or perhaps more importantly, what I should avoid doing.

I'll probably record video of it happening, and if I break it I'll post it for the amusement of the thread.

The way I do it which has never failed for me is fitting the CPU into a wood block and clamping it into a vice with a metal piece to push the IHS. The wood evens out the pressure on the PCB and the metal bit provides focused pressure to move the IHS and break the glue. For people without tools the 10 dollar 3d printed options are very compelling, but if you already have tools it's still saving 10 dollars.

I recorded a de-IHS video once so show how simple it is and it's really hard to hold a camera and also hold the CPU in a vice.

It really is easy to do with a vice. Maybe the newer CPUs have thin-rear end substrates that break like a cracker, but I delidded a 3770K with nothing but a vice. Not even a wooden block, as is sensible as mentioned above; I simply clamped it offset (one side touching the substrate, one side touching the side of the IHS) in the vice and just turned the handle until the lid popped off.

vv I know they're much thinner, but I was replying to the guy who wants to delid a 3770K, so I figured I'd throw my experience in the ring, since it might be of interest to him

The new pcbs are WAY thinner than a 3770k. Its worth spending $12 for a tool

Hello thread. I decided to upgrade (buying used) from a 2500k to a 4790k because for some reason changing graphics cards half a year ago made me unable to overclock my 2500k anymore. No idea why, but good god is this thing old either way. I'm getting some fancy 16gb of 2400mhz ram to go with it, anyone knows how important speed is on Devils Canyon? I have another 8gb laying around from my 2500k but that's rated for 1600mhz so I'm thinking putting it in would just lower over all performance anyway since I'm not using a lot of RAM at any given point.

Ddr3 prices are so messed up that the 2400 isn’t really more expensive, so just get it. Also it makes plenty of difference in CPU limited games, especially if you overclock your CPU.

Tempted to delid my 8700k now. Any downsides to running it with the lid and doing it later (setting the thermal compound more etc)? Other than having to take it apart and reapply HSF paste.
