8700K air cooling?

D15 is awesome, but that gets me thinking. Both in terms of the best air coolers, and the best AIO coolers, where do we go from here. Seems to me there will be just very small improvements to both from now on. Unless we wish to risk condensation with phase change, chillers and all that stuff.

Good point.  I've noticed this too going to my 1st custom water loop.  To be honest, the cpu temp differences between a good AIO cooler, a quality air cooler like the Noctua, and the custom loop, are not that great.  By FAR the biggest game changer for cooling the Intel chips, seems to be the delidding process. Combining this with a custom loop made some bigger changes.
