40th Anniversary Intel - Core i7-8086K - 5.0GHz+

The first batches are always the best.

Our very first deliveries of 8700k would do around 5.2GHz on stock IHS with good cooling, the odd 5.3GHz and though extremely rare 5.4GHz.
Unfortunately current stock of 8700K is now around 4.8GHz with 5GHz been now quite lucky, so the first deliveries are generally the best.

The 8086k is the cream of the crop from Intel, we had 1000pc arrive for the launch, so all same batch, were down to 550 units now, so sales have been absolutely superb on this part, at the moment we are struggling to source additional as it is a limited product, hence why its not widely available as the bigger resellers gobbled up all the stock and I think its fair to say OcUK has the lions share getting 1000 units as most of our competitors got less than 50 units. :)
Still got first batch available?
Also, any chance the devs could look at linking forum prices to the actual shop prices? A few times I have seen something now and thought "hmm" but when clicking the link the shop prices have returned to original pricing. No problem with that but would be good if the forum prices updated from the latest shop prices :).Seeing £199.99 memory and then £239.99 after clicking the link makes me upset :D.

Yes all original batch, there will be no more batches, the product is limited and there is no more. That is why I took 1000 units to make sure our stock last as we won't be able to get more as this is a limited edition SKU, the 8700K shall remain.
 
Just tested the water whilst waiting for thermal grizzly, put on thermal paste noctua, managed 5.1 stable at 1.38v is this average or bad for 5.1? - glad I didn't get 8086k
 
Just won one of these in the Intel sweepstake! I guess I can stop looking for a new CPU now lol!!
Buzzing.
Congratulations, when did you get the email? It looks like I've lost again unfortunately, was hoping to get an email at the 11th hour.
