Nothing regular but it would make some odd tasks (like flashing a router that I'm selling or connecting directly to a laptop) easier as I could leave a spare cable in the second port and wouldn't have to pull the PC out from under the desk and disconnect the network cable first. If this mobo/CPU goes the distance, a few extra quid is worth that minor convenience over several years. If it's more than a few quid, sod it.

Intel to launch 6 core Coffee Lake-S CPUs & Z370 chipset 5 October 2017
- Thread starter AthlonXP1800
- Start date
Yeah Gaming K6 is looking like my current favourite. It's a shame the Extreme4 doesn't have the debug LCD otherwise I would probably be tempted to go with that instead. I usually go for gigabyte but the only board which looks decent is the Gaming 7 and that's bound to be another step up in price

280GB and 480GB Optane SSDs are coming in late October apparently. It's going to be interesting to see if they'll make any difference in real world use because NVMes are fairly disappointing in that regard (they look good in benches, but perform the same as regular SSDs). Optane is technically lower latency than regular NAND, so it might be more suited for a system drive?
They're add in cards, so they should work with other platforms too, hopefully they're priced decently.

The lower tier motherboards (H370,H310,B360) are delayed until Q1 2018. The first time in recent history Intel have done so. Rushed release?
Rushed release and money grab because you have no other option.

I mainly use my PC for gaming and I've currently got a 6 core Intel i7-5930K
Tempted by the new Coffee Lake i7 8700k CPU, but as the new Nvidia Volta GPU's won't be out til around about March 2018, and that's roughly when the 10nm Cannonlake is due to hit, is it worth just waiting until then and building a complete new system?

I doubt we'll see it until 2019.

All the rumours have been saying Cannonlake is mobile only, no idea why everyone keeps expecting it on desktop.. Icelake is supposed to be next.
I know. That's what the rumours have been for a very long time yet people continue talking about cannonlake as if it is a desktop part.

I meant Icelake.
Not sure why you'd want to upgrade from an i7-5930K. The i7-8700K is basically the mainstream version of that chip, granted it can clock maybe 10% higher if you spend the extra cash. You'd lose the HEDT features also.
As others have said, Cannonlake is mobile only. Icelake probably won't be out until 2019 (late 2018 earliest IMO). Pinnacle Ridge (Zen refresh) is due in February.

Do you just trawl the internet looking for Intel news? If so see if you can find UK retail prices please.

New ones look good,
Anyone know if the cooler off my 3570k would work on the 8600k? It's a phanteks.
Should do if it fits socket 1151.

I run mine at 4 Ghz as it doesn't clock brilliantly despite really good Swiftech 240H AIO water cooling.
Doesn't HEDT just stand for High End Desktop? What features would I lose? A bit of memory bandwidth going from Quad to Dual channel? Not sure how much that impacts games really.
