WHAAAAT!?!?!?!?? REALLY?!?!?

Cool. :)

Does the ASRock Z370 ITX/ac support BLCK OC?

It lists BCLK overclocking support ("Supports ASRock BCLK Full-range Overclocking"), but I don't know if it's to the same extent versus having an external clock generator (Hyper BCLK Engine II) like the Taichi-branded boards do.

Question one, how many here have actually been able to purchase a 8700k

Question two, can people that got it benchmark for temperatures? They seem to be all over the place on reviews.

Ok so when should we expect to get those early Newegg backorders filled? I backordered around 1am PST (4am est). Pretty early on. I would think they do them in order right??!? I should be on the first reshipment I hope!

I think i'm going for the 8400 until 8700k shows up.

No I doubt that..... I sure to hell hope not!!!!

I was thinking within a week.

To be honest, the "back order" status to me was a fake thing. But we'll see next week I guess. If I don't get an update by end of next week I'm getting an 8400

I'll bet it's America First though ugh. This is what happens when a launch is brought forward; no actual stock. There's only 3 Dutch shops taking pre-orders still with no estimated date other than '2017'. Same for the Apex (no price listed). I'm still gutted tbh after waiting for months. Cheapest I can get it is at 389 Euro (455 USD/347 GBP), just unsure if it's worth a pre-order at that price or not.

You have a nice system - why not wait a bit and see what happens. There have been some shops in the US that are showing larger supplies arriving in a week or two. I'm sure the situation will improve over time for the smaller northern European countries as well.

Edit: I do realize what a disappointment this is, I'm just saying look on the bright side since your system is perfectly serviceable for now.

ouch, that seems hot for liquid, and no overclock yet.
Click to expand...
You can see by the Kraken info that liquid is irrelevant at this point. The kraken is not being pushed at all. The toothpaste Intel is using is not transferring temperature correctly/fast enough to the cover, then of course it doesn't get to the kraken fast enough.

Well..yah, but not really pushed yet =)
I'm hoping, and it looks pretty solid so far in most reviews that almost everyone will be sitting at 5ghz+
Click to expand...
Don't confuse top clocks with top power usage. That Prime 95 load probably meant 150W+ package power, more than a 5Ghz 7700K would have pulled. In fact it's probably 100-200Mhz away from thermal throttling under sustained load.

Booted up with no OC or BIOS settings touched and by default it has all cores locked at 4.7 on the Hero.

Quick temp test, no delid:
Click to expand...

That temp does seem a bit high for those volts (unless all review copies were golden samples). What thermal paste did you use?

Is it the reduced latency or the increased bandwidth that offers greater performance (mostly in file compression and some games)? I think 3200 MT/s C14 a sweet spot.

TheF34RChannel said:
Yeah 3200 still is that. Latencies don't really matter at all (for gaming anyway) as it's about the frequency and it has been since a long while. Now if you can get lower that's never going to hurt of course. Today, price and availability play a large role as well.

GSkill has a 3600 CL15 kit which is faster than 3200 C14. As far as I know it's the best kit available in terms of latency.
