I put the cpu fan monitor on ignore from the motherboard and it boots normally now.. Also the temperatures of the cpu are still weird.. I'll use the pc for a while to make sure of all the issues. Thank you so much !

I connected the pump to the pump header but the two fans has short cables and I connected them to the two splitters that are in the pump cable. Maybe I should buy fan extensions to connect them directly to the motherboard?

It's not just MCE. You are right about MCE if you think they make all the cores run at 4.7Ghz but there is a preset overclock profile that make the cpu run at 5Ghz which it did and it was running perfectly and stable at good temps for 8700k but only in blender it runs way hotter than usual. Anyways thank you. I'll try to figure out how to manually overclock an efficient overclock rather than using a preset profile from the motherboard. Few other things because you have an asus motherboard. Does the HW monitor has a wrong or glitched reading for the TMPIN4. The current/min values are 0 C and the max is 128C. Also Fan error things at every boot. :') Thank so much by the for the prompt responses!

It's a spike not consistently. Also the overclock was a preset in the motherboard I haven't tried to manually overclock it. I will run everything on default setting except the ram I will keep it at 3200mhz

Yeah, all above was done with a 5ghz OC. And yes MCE was enabled idk if that would change anything if it’s overclocked

Hello, I have built my pc yesterday and everything went well. The only thing that I find irritating is the temps. The cpu runs very smooth and cool while gaming and multitasking. The idle temps are about 30 C and gaming and multi tasking temps don’t exceed 65 and and when I try cinabench the temps barely hit around 76. The chip isn’t delided. the problem is in blender the temps goes crazy in the middle of rendering the bmw demo.. two cores get to 92 or something. And in Aida64 the temps are normal! The temps are the same as cinabench.. the h100i v2(installed in the front) has only the two fans that came with it.. should I add two more fans? there is also a cpu fan error that I get on boot even though I have them connected to the pump fan splitter should I buy extensions and connect the fans to the motherboard? ^this probably doesn’t have a relation with the cooling issue just adding it here to make sure I have no issues. I have built PC before but this is the first time I’ve used an AIO. 8700k Asus Maximus X Hero H100i v2 thank you!

I can't really change the gpu because of the shortage in the market and the insanely high prices I got my GTX 1080 for 600 dollars I won't consider 1080 Ti for 1k dollar or more. Thank though I appreciate your reply !

I will read more into that. Sadly I can't wait until the second half of the year I need a pc as soon as possible. I might try to sell these parts to replace them or figure something out later and see if it's even worth doing that. I will look into that and see another Seasonic power supply with lower wattage. Much appreciated for the reply!

Thanks for the reply, I use blender, and adobe suit, Clip paint studio. From what I saw they are almost neck on neck and most of the benchmarks the intel is better numbers wise which I really don't care about very much. However, in gaming I see that 8700k pulls much more framerates at 1080p@144hz+. The budget is probably around the same price for both of them. the intel is just a little bit extra since I got the intel processor at lower cost than usual. Thank you for the reply, but the gpus are not available to purchase that's why I'm stuck with mine right now. I built my pc around the gpu deal I got. I will look into some of the parts you post that are on stock :)!

Hello, this is my first post here I read a lot before I sign up and decide to post this.. my main question is is 8700k still worth it even after the meltdown and spectre issues? I just in need for a pc right now and the 8700k seems to be the best balanced after overclocking in terms of almost everything vs. the ryzen 7. I really don't mind either company I just want the best on the same price range. The lack of the 1080 ti because I really couldn't find one at MSRP the only one that I found is this MSI 1080 model. Either way new gpu line up should be in the way I can upgrade that later. I just want you to check the whole list and tell me if there better suggestions granted I bought the items already but they are still not delivered I can still return. I was originally going to pick meshify c but since I didn't have many Gpu choices I had to pick something else. I was originally going to go 7820x but I settled on the 8700k for some price and the clock speeds I also probably won't use the extra pcie lanes The price of the ryzen 7 with a good motherboard is similar to the cost of 8700k with a good motherboard but 8700k combo is about 120$ extra.
