Will we see 'delidded' i7 8700k cpu's from 8 pack, on day one?

I will be looking at the bundles when they come out, I don't need flashing lights etc on my board, just one that gets the best speed out of the processor and perierals
I also have a Noctua cooler which I would like to use, so options without water cooling would be handy
Thanks

Agreed. Air cooled options would be cool.

Judging by the 7700k, i expect you will need decent AIO / High end Air / WC to get the best highest clocked 8700K, as effectively you will be taking a 7700K and adding 2 more cores worth of heat to it, so actually i think for the absolute top end chips they will require water cooling.

Or just buy binned delidded from us

Are you gonna offer a non-Speedbinned de-lid service? Or will it still be a a case of having to chose one that you pre-test?

No point in deliding junk cpu's they may aswell go in stock non oc pcs we offer on the website.
All delid chips will be speed binned.
All delid chips will be speed binned.
So you think a delidded one from you will be ok with decent air cooling thenOr just buy binned delidded from us

So why not just settle for 3.9GHz, and wait for better clocking chips to come around from AMD? Does the 100MHz difference make you feel inadequate or something
That's what I decided too, Once Ryzen matures clock speeds will improve giving us stronger performers.

I can't discuss that board although I do know schedule but it's nda.
Yup. I have a Noctua NH-D15 that is the bee's knees, so an option to buy a delidded CPU without a water cooler (even if it means running it at a lower clock) would be good.

All cpu's you can buy without cooler no issue but only gaurenteed to run as advertised on stated cooling. Usually 240 aio upwards.
It's been known for years now that both Kabylake, Cannonlake and Coffeelake share an identical CPU core architecture. The only architectures differences lie in the iGPU portion, where Kabylake and above support netflix 4K etc.
The next new architecture for Intel will be Icelake (10nm). Until then all we'll get is small clock speed increases or additional cores, though understand that these additional cores do practically nothing for gaming.

No I have not tried Itx yet. But I know Asus have what should be a good option on the way.

what news?
Edited: just read the news doesnt say whether on mesh like the HEDT i personnally hope not or my money might be saved longer for the 7900 overclocked by 8pac.

Is there a clearer indication of whether there will be sufficient stock for us to see de-lidded 8700Ks available at launch? If not, ideally I would like a way to pre-order and get in line for a binned CPU, even if it means waiting a few weeks after launch. Otherwise it will probably be best just to roll the dice and buy a retail chip.

Currently not enough stock for launch that will enable me to do this. But ofcourse as soon as we have I will do it.
