But Ank... be careful the H110i  will only fit into certain cases,  and if your an old git at 40 years old (like me) the led lighting on the MOBO will drive you nuts but you can turn it off 

How Dare you not like led lighting! Pete I love it and i'm the same age lol

Now we have 2 confirmed cases of the 8700k apparently living up to its reputation.

@tooting What performance are you seeing with Dynamic lighting enabled. Its hit or miss for me. It depends on which scenery I am using. Sometimes its great, other times it drops below 20fps and isn't that smooth.

Hi Matt,

in day day no problem, at night same thing its hit or miss down to 20.

but if I turn off dynamic light  the performance is through the roof. its jaw dropping

Ok, that sounds promising. Two questions:

1. Did you replace the fans of the H110i with more quiet ones? Or are the stock fans not as bad as everybody says?

So with the cpu under load and the 110i also under load it not quiet by any means

I also upgraded yesterday to the 8700k. Managed to get the new rig up and running in 4 hours. Will be testing this weekend.

Both your memory sticks are in channel A. For Dual channel operation they need to be in DDR4_1 and DDR4_2

It's pretty simple - just stick it in a vice, and compress. Not much that can go wrong*, so give it a go and let us know how your temps are after this procedure. 

* - note: complete destruction of your CPU can - and quite possibly will - occur. No responsibility is taken in the event of this outcome, but if your chip is rendered useless, please post some pics here just for the lulz. Thankyou.

Re: delid.  Good to know and you are both getting great overclock with what look to be reasonable temps.
