I am waiting for my 7700k, and im replacing my i5 6500 because my friend purchased it from me. I have the 212 evo cooler, and i wont be able to get another cooler for a while, and i am hoping that the 212 evo is good enough to cool this processor.

ok and dio u think the 7700k will still be decent cpu since the ryzen 1700 is suppose to b better. should i return the 7700k because it wont get here untill the 5th so i have 30 days to return it.

also with the 212 evo and the 7700k at stock temps wat should i idle and what should i get under full load

I'm using a 212 evo with a 7700k right now, its fine at stock. Playing bf1 maxed out 1080p temps barely exceed 60-65c. You could do a small overclock assuming you don'y need to up the voltage that much.

Most retailers will not let you return a cpu for cash, only for a replacement. I also doubt the r7 1700 will beat out a 7700k in gaming, it will in multicore performance but I doubt it will in gaming. We shall see.
