hello i will build a new system and i was thinking of buying a 7700k in an asus rog extreme mb.
The reason to buy it is :
1 I can't find any better cpu to oc and have 5.0-5.1 oc speeds (I will use the pc just for gaming, watching movies maybe listen music while playing and nothing much else (i mean no streaming, no working ect)
2.The fps reach it has and for sure i don't want to buy an 7420x (too much for extra cost for an unused specs of the mb i will need if i made such a choice)
What i am afraid is the following:
1.I saw many to have thermal issues in the past (and some videos in yt even were on may of this year)
I will use a strong wc system but i even saw someone to have made a video about how to break the case, buy a custom one and put the paste after the modification so i would love to know if that was:
nonsense of the internet, issues with the first releases of the 7700k,just cause it need a demanding cooling system or any combination of them.
2.The 4 cores is a let down but i still can't find any card with better oc speeds,(any opinions on that)
3. i want to buy a predator x27 when it is released in the following months,i know that thats more gpu related (i will buy 1080 ti in sli ) but still i am worrying a bit about the cpu since i know just what i ve searched and i am not great in technical knowledge about how it works exactly for such a demanding 4k.
