Missed getting the 8700k by two minutes but I did get a 8700
It's already pretty expensive at 409$ Canadian (the 8700k is $499 Canadian) And I hear they are running pretty hot so to OC need fairly expensive air cooler or water cooler which I originally didn't want (first solo build) so probably saved myself around $125-150+(I would still put a cheaper cooler on the 8700) But I still have to buy a z370 if I don't want to wait which I don't mind so much. I've never OC before because I didn't really know about it but I have a older capable pc.... so how much performance am I losing... is it really that bad to have the 8700 which is locked at one core 4.6 all core 4.3 I believe but base 3.2. Also how does it interact with auto tune type OC does it still optimize my pc other than the CPU with a locked chip??
Everyone reviewing 8700k and I'm not sure the real difference in performance. Thoughts?
