Does no one else own Kabylake?? C'mon guys, Kaap has gone to the trouble of making this informative thread so a bit of participation would be nice!

Yeah I've got it... oh no, it's a 6700k, oops, my bad. Oh wait... no, it's definitely a 6700k. Or is it... damn, how do you tell them apart!?![]()
anyone used a Noctua air cooler with an overclocked 7700k, I have one on my i5.2500k 4.5ghz and the temps don't go over 65c, according to the Noctua site the cooler will fit the 7700 motherboards, so I would like to use it rather than buying another watercooling option

just A bit of early pre bench testing so nothing special here, ran on win7, ambient water cooled and using MOCF

Kap, thank you for making this thread!
Here are my results. Nothing special.
Memory: Corsair 16GB DDR4 Vengeance LPX 3000MHz
Motherboard: GA-Z170X-Gaming 7

Notes
CPU and memory settings are the same for both 3DMark tests as displayed in my Cinebench screenshot.
Could you let me know what vcore you were using, ATM I have used the default 1.24v for the scoreboards.![]()
This isn't going to be a direct answer but they say the devil is in the detail, right?
Im using adaptive voltage on the vcore with a negative offset. Its maxing out in the Cinebench run at 1.260 but can spike at 1.284 under heavy AVX loads. System passed 24 hours of Prime95 28.9 on current settings.
If I set a fixed vcore in the bios at 1.26 it will fail Prime95. Setting this to 1.27 it will pass. I can run my CPU with a x47 multiplier with the same vcore (1.27) and it will pass an 8 hour Prime95 stress test. Setting to x48 with 1.27vcore fails Prime95 and x264 but will boot into Windows.
So, put me down for 1.270 vcore?!
