So many 7700k threads but why no owners thread ?

So rather than start an owners thread, you start a thread about why there isn't an owners thread.

Brilliant! :D

I am in no position to start an owners thread as I don't own one !!!

Having said that it would be nice to read about the 7700k in a properly done owners thread. There is nothing worse than sifting through numerous threads about the same thing.

I agree with others that the "such-and-such owners' threads" give the impression of being primarily concerned with elitist, willy-waving displays.

I would hardly call a mainstream quad core CPU a willy waving product.:)

Having said that I have bought stuff in the last year that I have never mentioned on these forums that could be considered very much willy waving in nature. As it is extreme stuff only a few people like 8 Pack would be interested in, there is absolutely no point posting about it here.

There's nothing wrong with "product xxx threads" at all. The problem is when you call them "owners's threads", as already said, and then dedicate the first 2 or three posts in said thread to the "roll of honour", etc. Which is silly. Because then the thread isn't about the product, it's as much about the people that bought one. Which is epeen land for sure.

If people want to go on a Roll of Honour it is entirely up to them. Having said that it is something a lot of people want to do so why not ?

If you don't like owners threads that is fair enough, but then you have the choice to ignore them.

You're itching to make one, so why not just do it? The idea that you can't because you don't own a 7700k is silly :p If it's not *purely* willy waving and the threads serve a practical purpose then nobody will mind, surely.

There are plenty of guys more qualified than me who actually own the CPUs who could do a very good job of it.:)

It would be nice for a change though if someone did a comprehensive one with sections for Cinebench, Super Pi and any other CPU intensive benches for example. these could be useful if they listed the M/B, RAM make/specs/timings used etc.

There is plenty of stuff that could go into the OPs of such a thread like news of overclocking bundles, what settings 8 Pack used etc.

News articles like der8auer's Delid-Die-Mate tool and how to use it.

Having said that I don't own a 7700k.:)

Given Ian has already divulged that information due to them binning this generation, that's been covered already. Still, it's always nice to see what people are getting on various cooling. I'm hoping to stick mine on a chiller next month. The disparity there can be as much as 0.04v from ambient for vcore needed (that's before delidding)

If I had done one it would have been as much a bench thread as an owners thread but open only to 7700k and 7600k results.

Surprised you haven't had a dabble with the 7700K Kaap. I know you're more about the GPUs but it would be interesting to see how a highly clocked (~5.2ghz) 7700K would benchmark in games compared to the enthusiast grade chips, don't you think? :D

No more room for PCs.:eek:

I had to give a couple of old ones away before xmas so I could make some room.
