I think SKY OC can still be accessed with bios version 7.
Really... that gets a lot more interesting then.

Man i would wait 3 months and see if a zen 4c 8t will not be aprox the same budget as i3 especially as you want a 7700k.
Well super then. Cant tell your sig on a mobile.Because I already have a Intel Motherboard and Ram and am just looking to do a drop in upgrade.
Yeah, just checking Newegg, it's 7PM EST, no KBL CPUs found yet. Strange.
I dont care what brand or name it is.This is a Kaby Lake thread, do we really need the Zen promotion here?
It isn't strange. NDA review embargo has lifted which is always some days earlier, official sales start is on Friday I've read somewhere. Intels usual sales start is on a Sunday, so I'm unsure if Friday is correct.

Can't you buy from Amazon like everybody else?Still nothing at newegg... I am guessing friday will be the lucky day I am hoping?
But you only think it's best because of hearsay (from the company that makes them)I dont care what brand or name it is.
I recommend what i think is best regardless of name and regardles of the name in top of the thread.
I dont care for your feelings.
Btw havnt had an amd desktop cpu since barton xp - its like 13 years.

I find the 7350K the most interesting of the new offerings because it's different and promises to be fun to play with, but I also have the feeling that it will ultimately prove disappointing. I might get one anyway, just to add something to my languishing Cinebench 11.5 thread.
Let's see what it overclocks to, first. That might be where it becomes interesting.The unlocked I3 could have been a good product, 4 years ago, not now.
Yes look at their MT benchmarks of the 8/16 chip divide by two for the 4/8 chip and compare to i5-6400 running at 3.1Ghz all core turbo.Go and look at the Canard frontpage and the bm and their comments. They predict a huge change. And they are not amd.

It could still be a good product.
If the 4C chips can crack 5ghz, then it seems possible that the 2C chips can do a little better.it's not a mystery, some leaked review showed 4.8ghz I think, and KL at best is around 5GHz
it will be fast, but, the i5 at $170 is much nicer overall
unlocked i3 would be fun if it was the 7100 (price closer to $100), and if it was years ago when the stock clock was low, like sandy/ivy bridge era they were mostly under 3.5GHz while the cores were capable of a lot more.
also the whole i3 line looks overpriced because of the Pentiums.

Which is fine for a beginner building a midrange gaming PC, but totally boring for a jaded enthusiast like me. I think the point of my post is that I may buy one even though it's not a practical and cost effective solution.You can get an i5-7400 and H170 motherboard for $50 cheaper than the 7350K, Z170, and Cooler Master 212. This was spec'd out on Reddit and isn't recommended for new PC builders.
Your bias is showing!This is a Kaby Lake thread, do we really need the Zen promotion here?
