Nice! I can't do anymore than 4000mhz with a cpu overclock in place. That is cl20 though

You should have gone with Ryzen. No problem there

GSkill tridentZ 3600 c16. I7 8700k. Asus z370i strix. Seems like it wont make it 4500mhz @ 19 21 21 44

The Strix isn't the right board if wanting to push things that far. Besides which most CPU will struggle to get past 4200Mhz even on boards that are validated.

Found my self 16gb of ddr4 cheap ordered it, just need the 8400 to come back in stock and drop so I can order.

This 3570k is not liking my gtx 1080.

Just to confirm with you guys that I ordered the right ram description says ddr4 16gb (2x8) 288-pin DIMM module.
Is this the right stuff I need for my 8400?

Yeah pretty bad stutter trying to play 2015 need for speed max settings, cpu is just at 100% whole time.

Fair enough. I was interested as I've had one before, though it was never paired with a card as powerful as that. My 6600K seems to be fine with the 980Ti, though I expect there is a restriction of sorts in some instances, however, I'm pleased with the performance.

Just building a i5-8400 build for my nephew. This is at stock and no fiddling and pretty much matches the 7700k reference scores in single and multi on cpuz. Pretty good for £170 i thought.

Yeah it's hard to justify the extra £80-£90 for the unlocked one.

I'm waiting for them to come back in stock so I can pick one up.

Huh. 8600K does around 613 on single thread and 3430 on multi. Thats quite a bit difference.

Probbaly a different cpuz version. How would a 8600k be 25% faster than a 7700k in single thread stuff stock for stock? :confused:

1.81.1

Tried 1.78 gives me some weird numbers. 2590 single core and 14786 multi.....

The screenshot @Jono8 posted above is from 1.81.1 version also
