I recently built a computer with an I5 6600k processor. I put it together right before the Kaby Lake's came out. The place I bought the processor will return the 6600k processor, so I took the leap to the 7700k, but didn't change the motherboard from an ASUS Z170-a motherboard.

When I changed the chips out, I reformated the hard drive and now everything seems to take a little longer to load than it did on the I5. (IE, bringing up a program that loaded right away. Opened devices and printers and it took 15 seconds to load the screen). Any idea why this might happen? I made sure my heatsink was at right and reapplied thermal paste (didn't think it would really change anything).

I am not overclocking, just running everything stock.

System:
I7 7700k
ASUS z170-a
16gb of Crucial 2400 ram
1tb Samsung Evo 850 SSD
GTX 1070

Check to make sure all 8 threads are showing up in task manager. '

For what it's worth, the devices and printers screen has nothing to do with your CPU. On some systems it takes several minutes to load, depending on what you have plugged in. What else appears to be underperforming?

My task manager shows 8 logical processors, so I assume that is what you mean. As I have watched the CPU performance, when I launch battle.net for the first time, the CPU goes to 100% useage for a second, but never again.

What I am most concerned about is how I will hear the CPU fan ramp up (cryorig C7) ramp up for a second or two then slow down. I have speccy open to watch the CPU temp and it will jump up, then fall right down. Even at desktop with no programs running. When this happens, the CPU in task manager shows low utilization during that ramp up time. So I am not sure what the CPU is doing that caused the heat to jump up (from mid 40's to 60, then right back down).

CPU temps jumping quickly to 60 isn't that big a deal. Could be u need to redo your thermal paste and reseat the cooler. What overclock are you running? Most ppl can get 5ghz at 1.39v.

I'm also wondering if upgrading to the 7700k would be a wise path.
