Intel to launch 6 core Coffee Lake-S CPUs & Z370 chipset 5 October 2017

[TrickyTris]

My 8700k order is processed and shiped but my second order of i5 8600k and Asus Hero is in process.

Opposite for me.. Hero X sent but 8700k processing

8700k was ordered at 13:54.. Will keep my fingers crossed.

They are not tricks people are paying for a service and guaranteed above stock performance and thermals. We sell 100s of these delid binned units per year are all these guys stupid??

Looking at the store page for the new pre-binned 5.1ghz cpu's. It doesn't show any details like what voltage was used to achieve this etc. When I bought my pre-binned 7700k it had a detailed write up on the store page with voltage settings for the OC. Will this info be updated for the new cpu's? I am looking to purchase but I want more info before I do. Thanks in advance

ordered received email at 2:33pm , order placed at 2:17 and in process on webpage- i fear the worst

Hmm, that is the exact same times as mine

 

[RaidenGB]

Missed out cant find a 8600k in stock anywhere was in work an looking on Ocuk but me phone wasnt showing them, showed right up on me pc

I have a feeling we'll not be getting one lol

 

[signal11th]

khan! lol

 

[marcus_667]

Had to ring my order in for the binned cpu lol

 

[orbitalwalsh]

mmmm didnt bother to look at the 8700 non k- boosting to 4.6- wonder if it'll be like the 8400 and boosting to max across all cores.... mmmmm

8Pack as done a thread explaining the process and also voltages used for this chip if you are interested

Great stuff. do you have the link please? Thanks in advance

khan! lol

Actually both have now been dispatched.

depends what your after- if you wanted a full build believed he said for you to call up and would have sorted a build before chips went live- if your after a bundle deal with himself overclocking it (mobo/cpu/ram/cooler) you may get lucky .... but you'd have to call up

think you may be out of luck now till stock comes in

Thanks for the reply, I like him am flat out at work myself, just cannot get the time to sort it out (call) without rushing it and don't want to do that.

Reading the reviews am I actually better off going the 8400 intel instead of 1600x?

If you won't use SMT and aren't interested in a future-proof platform, then yeah it looks like a nice option.

DOUBLE KHAN!

My Asrock mobo order - placed at 13:58 - has shipped already. The slightly earlier 8700k order at 13:54 is 'in process'.

Well, I'm sure the mobo manual and box will keep me occupied for a few weeks.

It still states on the product page that ETA is the 5/10 still

Reading on the Techpowerup review, the 8400 will only clock to 3.8GHz across all cores, and 4GHz on single thread. They was unable to increase the clock speed to 4GHz across all cores no matter what they did.

The Intel Core i5-8400 doesn't have the K suffix in its name, which indicates an unlocked multiplier. That means that you can't overclock it easily.

One option is to increase the BCLK, which can be raised to 102 MHz or 103 MHz from 100 MHz, but not more, for a 3% performance uplift, in theory.

The second option is to adjust the CPU boost settings, making it so that the highest boost state is enabled not just for single-threaded workloads, but all - no matter the core count.

When we tested the latter, we noticed that no matter what we did, the maximum frequency the CPU would run at was 3800 MHz, not 4000 MHz as you would expect by going with the maximum-rated boost frequency.

Whether this is a bug or a feature is unknown at this time.

Temperatures were of course not an issue and voltage changes were not needed, either, since the processor was always operating very close to its out-of-the-box power and heat levels.

Well, yes, £800 for a 5.2Ghz chip that will make 3fps (made up for effect) difference in games would be stupid, though from previous posts I think you said these chips find their way into business' where those fractions start paying them back. People have the choice so really doesn't matter though does it.

4.9 is so far the minimum OC I have seen in the reviews, for me personally I would roll the dice. I would imagine a fraction of the money into good cooling may be money better spent.

Surely binned cpu's should be done after decent stock has arrived?
