That result still suggests a Hyper 212 Evo-class cooler probably isn't sufficient for holding the overclocked i7-8700K in check, given how little headroom it offers.
Thanks ehume for a detailed answer.
I jumped on Ryzen because it ran cooler and it does give me 120-144 fps in pubg np, but I was still curious about the other side since I have a 165hz monitor now.
However I am not going to do water cooling.. as I don't consider it safe. I'll probably wait till the process has matured to a 60-70C temp and not 88-99C.

I don't think that graph is accurate anymore since I'm actually playing 1440p and getting the 102 min/ 120-144 average with my ryzen and I too play on Very Low.
It could also be that my overclocked video card is pushing it 120-144.. but whatever the reason.. I'm definitely not averaging 100 which the graph said but I was curious since I'm not averaging 165 either which I would like.
Can you provide us with usage percentage for both? Does the 8700k even turbo up?I notice exactly ZERO difference while playing PUBG between my 8700K and my 1800X at 1440p and 4K.

I tested out a bunch of heatsinks in a review for Overclockers.com. I included only six-heatpipe heatsinks: the Megahalems, the Genesis (both the Prolimatech heatsinks were tested with two Blue Vortex 14cm fans), and Noctua NH-D14, NH-U14S and the NH-D15. On LinX 0.6.5 they all averaged in the 80's or lower, spiking 88C to 99C -- I was using Linpack on 12 threads with AVX2. Given all of that -- I was admittedly pushing these heatsinks, trying to break them -- with a normal load I could expect to push my chip a little, maybe even to 5.1 or 5.2 GHz. But I was using 1.37 Vcore, which is high. When I backed off a little I could back off on the Vcore a whole lot, which suggests that at 5 GHz, this chip is probably looking at the top of its range.
If you are thinking of going to 5.2 or 5.3 GHz, I wouldn't go there. Maybe in a year the process will be improved enough, but you can see that air cooling -- and these are the best -- is at its bleeding edge doing 5 GHz right now. Maybe with a golden chip you will do better, but what are the odds of that?
What an earth-shattering difference. What exactly offended you so much about the post you quoted? It never said Ryzen was equal or faster, in fact, implicit in that post was the conceit that the 8700K was faster. They were just wondering if it was worth upgrading to.
You do realize that intel AT THE SAME CLOCKS performs at least 10% better right?
So at ~4Ghz it would outperform ryzen and be super cool.
In fact even the 3.6Ghz quad core without HT, i3-8100 is about 10% faster then any ryzen,a 8700k would be running in idle and very cool and still outperform any ryzen...

Anyway, in my experience, without delidding you aren't guaranteed even 4.7GHz on an 8700K. Don't expect more than 4.9GHz with a delid. Certainly some can do more, but not all will.

Considering how much has been changed in PUBG since December, those benchmarks are out of date. It's also the worst game to use as a benchmark because it uniformly runs worse than it should for the visuals whether you have a GTX 1050 or a GTX 1080 Ti.

That was not what was said, he said he has a Ryzen and was wondering if he should get an 8700K to get a few more FPS. Are you seriously arguing that it's a no-brainer to get rid of it and drop $500 on a Z370 setup for an extra 15 FPS?Did you even read the right post?
Instead of running the 8700k at stock or even underclocking it to ~4Ghz (both of which options would give him a cool and fast(er) CPU), his logic dictated that he better get a slower CPU because it runs cooler...

If you're just calling him an idiot for getting a Ryzen CPU, that's not particularly helpful, plus he may have purchased it before the 8700K came out.
The keyword when using PUBG for benchmarks seems to be unoptimized. Much like Starcraft2 which has been used off an on now for almost 8 years as a cpu benchmark. Flawed, to say the least.
No, what he said was I got ryzen because intel is too hot,how can you tell from that if he got ryzen at launch as he said right now or if he got it after realizing that intel is "too hot" ?That was not what was said, he said he has a Ryzen and was wondering if he should get an 8700K to get a few more FPS.

Well, the only things I quoted where posts from this topic so...yeah, maybe you're right about that one.Look in my mind as far as you're concerned, I will NEVER listen to a fanboy like you.
You have quoted nothing that is factual.
I'll just put your fake propoganda on ignore.
