Asus can't even provide a sufficient power supply witg their 800 quid monitors so I doubt their motherboards are anywhere near up to snuff.

The 8700K runs at 4.3Ghz all cores, provided the cooling is good enough, given that all reviewers use £150 of higher priced coolers when reviewing the chip what you see in all reviews is best case, some of those reviews on Asus boards the CPU is running at 4.7Ghz all cores.

4.3Ghz is not a low clock speed, pretty much all 8700K overclock to 4.8Ghz with good cooling, that's about a 10% overclock, not much more than what Ryzen 2 overclocks.

I doubt that's the case in this review because if it was running at those clocks the 6700k wouldn't be pulling ahead of it as a stock clock 6700k only boosts to 4.2.
You're right though we're still left with more questions than answers regarding how the clocks are behaving during the tests so we'll have to wait and see for ourselves.
Not long now.

In all honesty I have never liked the cosy relationship media have had with hardware vendors. All this free review sampling to me is bulllcrap. A reviewer should be anonymous to the vendor so to achieve that they should be buying random retail parts and I also feel a reviewer is more likely to be honest if they spending actual cash to get the product giving a second reason to go out and buy stuff. Whilst if they getting free review samples, they are always going to have to think about printing something that may shed a negative light on the company as they always going to want to protect their position of getting future review samples. That alone is going to compromise the integrity of a reviewer.

In a perfect World sure that'd be the best way to get an honest opinion. They''d have to be viewer only funded for it too work, The problem is the companies are watching the net to see who's becoming a popular reviewer and then they start sending them a product or two before reeling them in.

Aye thats the way i see it, become big enough to make a difference and you will start being "groomed by a company.
I still remember a few notes a site (that i cannot remember now) made when they had attended an Nvidia event for something, they came away with a "goody bag" except it was more like a "goodies sack".. lots of the usual press crap and several more expensive and hard to acquire items - just... "hey here you go thanks for coming to our event of XYZ... here is your payment for the good reviews your about to make"

Well, as someone that uses an Asus PA279 i've got no idea where your coming from on that statement ? Ok, not £800 but does me very nicely thanks.
As it happens, i use said screen with a C6H............................the C6H has had no issues with power delivery in all the time i've had it. Maybe you should just learn to clock properly, not leave things on AUTO and take control yourself ? After all, that is what clocking is about.................isn't it ?

I'm always willing to learn. As long as the person doing the teaching is worth listening to. Sometimes though they are are just the usual peeps that have no idea what they are talking about.

Yep it does Look good and low profile lol. Thing is though, none of us know's properly yet if the 2700X performs any better on that than a CH6. Until i do, i defo would not change. In fact, i'll just buy a 2700X and clock the nut's off of it on my CH6. If after that it looks like a CH7 or another mobo is better, then that's the time to look at changing.

Don't worry about it Scougar. Some peeps are just not worth even thinking about other than a one post return.

yes the top ROG asus boards are fine, its their lower boards they started dropping their standards. From say 5 or so years ago. Although the top ROG boards are dropping some features tho.

chroniclard · 16 Apr 2018 at 23:18

Got 2 Asus 370 boards at the moment, CH6 and Prime Pro, both working great.

opethdisciple · 17 Apr 2018 at 00:13

I getting annoyed now.

I bought the 8 pack ram to solve my instability issues and it's made things worse.

You can see my thread here.

I'm thinking of just selling up and getting a 8700k myself.

You need to reset everything to defaults, then get your memory stable at whatever speed you are aiming for and properly test it. Once that is solid start working on your CPU overclock.
