After much debate, I ended up building a 7700k box and I was not happy with temps, even with a H100i v2, until I delidded and replaced the TIM.

Edit: cleaned up phone posting

Jesus I don't need 16 cores but I'll probably eventually get one because I'm a big dumb idiot.

This. I just built a 7700k box and I irrationally want a TR system instead. We should probably start a support group.

After looking through whatever xLake arcitecture is next:
Jim Keller: [holding vulnerability hole trap like a rat by the tail] We got it.
Intel CEO: What is it? Will there be any more of them?
Jim Keller: Sir, what you had there is what we refer to as a focused, non-terminal, repeating phantasm or a ring-zero full-roaming vapor. A real nasty one, too.
Dr. Peter Venkman : And now...
[Peter clears his throat]
Dr. Peter Venkman : ... let's talk seriously. Now, for the discovery, we're gonna have to ask you...
[Egon holds up four fingers]
Dr. Peter Venkman : ... for four big ones, Four thousand dollars for that. But we are having a special this week on vulnerability probing of the exploit...
[Egon holds up one finger]
Dr. Peter Venkman : ... and that's only gonna come to one thousand dollars, fortunately.
Intel CEO : Five thousand dollars? I had no idea it'd be so much. I won't pay it.
<Jim Keller resigns>

This made my day. :golfclap:

It's all about the DFI LANParty UT nForce3-250Gb. Goddamn I loved that board.

The day I finally got rid of that wretched piece of poo poo was a glorious one.
