So off the mark it's not even funny. Newer games can use 8 threads, so an i5 isn't "all you need for gaming" anymore.
-
Please, Steve damaged ground pins, he probably had bent pins or uneven mounting pressure. This had nothing to do with overclocking the CPU.
-
If you don't already have the i5, get a Ryzen 5 1600, it's a much better option
-
A BIOS that removes Pascal's voltage limitations. I don't recommend it if you don't know what you're doing. @done12many2 can tell you more

something doesn't line up. I just checked intels "scalable" processor lineup and all of them are LGA 3647. Yet there are X299 board out there that will do ECC reg server RAM. . Either gigabyte got it wrong, intels i7 series suddenly support ECC server RAM, or there are LGA 2066 xeons coming. I have no idea.

This has led me to see two possibilities:
1. Intel will release a small lineup of xeons for LGA 2066. Currently you can buy xeons for the mainstream platform (lga 1151, 1150, 1155) but these are consumer oeriented products, so you don't get a flood of CPUs on the used market for these chips. They tend to hold their value quite well.
2. Their i9 lineup will support ECC reg DDR4. This I see as very unlikely.
I think the former is more probable. It is kind of sad though. Looks like this marks the end of cheap xeons. At least we can buy cheap RAM though so I guess there is at least something left.

Yeah, he did Take a look at ASUS boards as well
-
The take too long to post, they have memory compatibility issues etc @tom_w141 can tell you more
-
Sure, but the OP said that he wants to get a 7700 non K
-
Yeah, if the OP wants to consider Ryzen. The 1600 is a better option than the 7700 IMHO
-
Wait for Ryzen 3
-
Linus is wrong. An i5 is NOT all you need for gaming because newer games can use 8 threads. The 7700 with a B250 board is a much better option than a 7600K with a Z270 board
-
True, true. Bulldozer was a complete failure
-
Wait for 1070 prices to drop or get a used 980 Ti, because prices are sky high right now.
-
Full system specs?
-
Pliz. If you know what you're doing, you won't burn any pins. @done12many2 pushed his 7900X to much more intensive loads than Steve did and he didn't burn any pins.
