Intel are holding back supply, they got a **** ton of kaylake to shift.

To be honest I am in no hurry I have everything but the i7 8700k for my new build but I want a Retail 3 year warranty not 1 year OEM or OC version.... I'll happily wait until Jan / Feb - the price should come down a little then also once the backlog is out the way.
 
Meh, after screwing up my ryzen memory timings and now being unstable/not able to get it working again yet, its peeing me off. If I hadn't of just watercooled the lot I would be pretty damn close getting an 8700k......whats the likelihood of getting one before Christmas....

The shops here in France aren't expecting any stock until 12th December, but I doubt the market is as big here as the UK.

Does anyone happen to have first hand experience of how the 8700 non-K boosts out of the box? I've seen it quoted in numerous reviews that it will boost to 4.3Ghz across all cores, but I'd be interested in people's real world experiences.

Edit: I'd also be keen to know if memory can be overclocked on the non-k model.

No one? I know this is OcUK, but someone must have tried a locked 8700 :D
 
@zola25 Boosts will depend on what workloads you throw at it.
It has a lower TDP than the 8700K (65W to 95W, TDP is one of Intel's Turbo limits) so it won't boost as aggressively, but the hexa core boost in non AVX workloads seems to be around the 4.3Ghz mark (the 4.6Ghz max turbo is for single core).
If for example you do some video encoding (AVX) you most likely won't reach that boost clock, but for gaming and other lighter workloads it probably won't be an issue and might even boost higher.

If you can find the i7 8700 at a good price, then go for it, but personally I'd wait a month or two until supply improves and pricing on all of the Coffee Lake CPUs should go down a little bit (you might be able to pick up an 8700K for close to what the 8700 non-K is going for right now, if you wait).
 
Hey been testing out my 8400 seems pretty good I did notice one thing though, it was only getting a maximum of 3.8ghz with MCE enabled so I turned it off and just set 4ghz manually this seems to work much better.

General desktop stuff seems to run at 4ghz across all cores.
Gaming GTA5 online it seems to be between 3.8 and 3.9 with most the time being half the cores at 3.9 half at 3.8.
The lowest it drops to is 3.8ghz all cores.
 
I tried running the new bios yesterday, after boot to windows 100 less points in CR15 & AIda 64 memory test shown significant drop on some of the values(in excess of 100Mb/s)
So i reverted back to 0813.

I noticed this too, I also noticed that newer bios revisions would limit my memory overclock.
I ended up going back to the agesa 1.0.0.6
