8Packs no BS testing Intel 8700K and Z370 with Delid 5ghz and above available from OCUK.

I was thinking about getting the Taichi but Rezz's experience along with the vortez.net review of the Extreme4 where they claim they needed more voltage than other boards to reach the same clock is giving me second thoughts.

Should I be looking towards another brand?

Also do you know when you'll have the Taichi back in stock?

Rezz · 16 Oct 2017 at 17:15

I will check whether the Taichi works better to OC vith new BIOS. Maybe there were intermittent small drops in voltage that caused crashes in my testing which could now be fixed by the improved LLC.

The asrock fatality seems like really decent value, any reason to not choose it? The design of the taichi bugs me too much.

Id go for it. Used to have x99 fatal1ty one for month b4 rma shityy msi came back. Was great. Only reason i dont own 370x fatality is lack of usb ports

LLC is fixed with the new Taichi BIOS. Virtually the same voltage in 800 MHz idle, 5000 MHz idle and Cinebench.

Yes I know^

Taichi is a good board.

can I ask what VCCIO/SA for 2x8GB 3600 C16 (TG Dark Pro 8Pack)? i'm just running this 8700k stock otherwise (on an Asus M10H).

what's the stock VCCIO/SA?

How's the binning of 8700k's going today?

How about today then?

8 Pack · 17 Oct 2017 at 13:47

Man give us chance. They need to be tested properly which does not take two mins.

Some will be booked in today yes and a couple of bundles completed too. More tomorrow.

Nutkins · 17 Oct 2017 at 18:43

Hopefully one of those bundles is mine

Born_2_Kill_83 · 17 Oct 2017 at 18:53

Not mine by the looks of things :mad:

Doesn't look like it's me either, at least nothing has shipped. When did you order?

Born_2_Kill_83 · 17 Oct 2017 at 21:12

Last Thursday early afternoon. What about you

Rezz · 17 Oct 2017 at 21:20

I am not sure whether it is the new BIOS or the incruased SA/IO voltages since I started overclocking the memory, but the Taichi now requires the same Vcore to get the 8700K to 5 GHz as the cheapo ASUS Prime Z370-P. Previously it needed 40 mV extra.

8 Pack · 17 Oct 2017 at 21:40

I will complete more bundles tomorrow.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 17 Oct 2017 at 21:41

If you could throw a 5g one towards my order I put together (not bundle) I would appreciate it.

8 Pack · 17 Oct 2017 at 21:48

They will all be served in a first come first served way.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 17 Oct 2017 at 21:52

I believe mine was within your stock from the last batch so hopefully will be tomorrow.
