Hi guys, I bought a custom prebuilt PC (because I didn’t have the guts to do it myself) and ended up with a very nice system. It has an I7-8700K cooled by the new NZXT Kraken X72 which should be more than sufficient for the processor (overclocked to 4.7GHz). When I started aida64 to check the temps I got in the first 3 minutes spikes of 95°C. I was expecting way lower temps than that, do you guys know where should I start trying fix the problem? Also I payed 10 dollars extra for a good thermal paste to be applied. Thank you all. When I get back home I can post some screenshots.

Hey guys! I'm a relatively new computer builder (not a novice however). I wanted to know if there were any recommendations I could make to upgrade my current setup. To get started, here's a full list of parts: Case: Thermaltake Versa C22 RGB MoBo: MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Gravity i2 + Arctic MX-4 Thermal Paste (Thermaltake TG-7 is onhand) RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (integrated) PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 750W Drives: Intel Optane 32GB Memory Module M.2 + Hitachi 5400RPM 500GB 2.5" SATA HDD Case Fans: Thermaltake Riing 12 White LED x2 +Thermaltake Riing 12 RGB LED x3 Miscellaneous: Razer Blackwidow Chroma v2 + Razer Lancehead Below are some pictures of the completed build as well as an almost completely comprehensive picture of the parts' boxes. I already plan on adding a dedicated GPU (MSI GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G) and a reliable SSD. I already have my mind set on the GTX 1060, but I want some suggestions on good 2.5" SATA or M.2 SSDs. I'd also like to know some good RGB LED strips that I can use to give my build more flare. Other than those three main points, I want to know if there's also any other suggestions for boosting my rig. Budget is low, but I'd like to know what I can save up for. Thanks! Edit: Comment an approximation of how much you'd spend (preferably in USD) to get a rig like this off the shelf. Parts: RGB Mode in Light: RGB Mode in Dark: White Mode in Dark:

I just recently upgraded my entire system. I have a custom watercooled loop with all EKWB equipment. Asus Maximus X Hero w/ i7-8700k cooled by EKWB Asus M9H Monoblock EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW3 cooled by EKWB Full block EKWB Slim 360 and 240 rad EKWB D5 combo pump/res When I first powered on the system today, I noticed where the CPU temp is higher than I expected. Under synthetic loads (prime95), I'm getting temps of approx 80C. I let this run for approx 30 min to make sure that the temps equalized. I have the 1080ti in the same loop that doesn't get above 45C when put under heaven benchmark. Loop goes from Pump-GPU-CPU-Rad-Rad. I know that loop order doesn't have much to do with it, but I figure I would put it in there. I've already torn everything down, made sure that the block was making good contact with the CPU. Had full coverage with the thermal paste over the entire lid. Can anybody provide me with any suggestions or assistance with determining why my temps are so high? Please don't mention anything about delidding. I WILL NOT even attempt it, so it's not even worth mentioning it.

Hey, I got a new rig last month and I am thinking about overclocking the CPU (i7-8700k). I have read that overclocking can reduce the lifespan of the CPU so I am wondering is it worth it for me. I have had to save for a long time for this rig and at the moment, I am very happy with its performance so if overclocking will reduce its life significantly then I don't think I would want to do it. So I would like to know is will overclocking reduce the life of my CPU so it might break within the next few years and if so is the performance benefit actually worth it? Thanks. PS: I use this rig for gaming and as I render farm when I am away. When rendering only the CPU is used so I would benefit from more power Specs of my rig: i7-8700k Fractal Design - Kelvin S36 62.4 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler 800w be quiet! PSU GTX 1080ti

While i was just looking around for pc parts when I save up the money, the i7-8700k says it has 2 memory channels and ddr4-2666mhz as the only memory type when i was looking at a mobo to go with it (lga 1151 300 series) i was honestly confused when many appeared to accept ddr4 of many kinds take this ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E for example it has 4 memory slots and a huge variety of ddr4 memory clock speeds that it accepts, but (correct me if im wrong) the i7-8700k only uses 2 memory slots and only 2666mhz ddr4 ram. I dont think i fully grasp the memory slots/channels Thanks in advance for the help

Hello. I need your help in motherboard choice, since I don't have idea which one might be the best in my case. The first thing I want to point out is that there is a lack of a choice, so there are not many of them to choose. I own (as title says) i7-8700k, NZXT Kraken x62 (don't know if it matters) with that I'm planning to overclock CPU, I had before Z370 Prime-A, but it broke and I sent it back. Okay, here is the list of those which I'm able to buy: Asus ROG STRIX Z370 H or G (both available), Asus Z370 Pro-Gaming, Z370 Aorus Gaming 3 and K3, Z370 Plus Gaming, Gigabyte Z370XP, Gigabyte Z370 HD3P, Asus Z370-P, Asus Prime z370 - P. Please, share your opinion on this topic which you consider the best. P.S. Overall, I'm biased towards Asus products, since all other parts are compatible with Asus Aura , Case - Noctis 450 Rog, GTX 1080 Strix.

Hi all! I am new to this forum so I will go with recommendations from pinned post. 1. Budget and location My budget is 10.000 PLN / 2 830 USD / 2 390 EUR (I live in Poland) for the computer alone (no keyboard, no mouse or monitor) and I don't want to go over it. I mean if it does go over by a few then I won't be mad, but I'd really like to stay below. 2. Aim I'd need the computer for gaming, and by that I mean playing any new game that comes out for at least a couple of years at the minimum of High graphic settings, but I aim to play every new game at Ultra. Which means that if something similar to The Witcher 3 comes out I'd like to put it on Ultra settings without hesitation and be sure it'll work just fine. Or if I decide to put two hundred mods into Fallout 4 there won't be any rendering or lighting issues. 3. Monitors I plan on having just 1 monitor that plays in 2k, in 2560x1080 resolution but I might upgrade it to 4k in future. 4. Peripherals No need for a keyboard, a mouse or a monitor - I have a separate budget for that and they're all preselected. 5. Why are you upgrading? I'm upgrading because I have an Alienware M17 laptop of almost 5 years and firstly I'm moving to a place where there will be space for a PC, and secondly I'm kinda sick of constantly wondering if the computer will run certain games. It was really nice at first but now I can afford something much better and I think the time has come for me to play any game I want without giving the minimal requirements any thought. I can sell my old computer for a pretty penny, so I won't be sad to upgrade from such a good laptop to an even better PC. I have done some research and I ended up with something like this. I will be grateful for any advice on how to improve build down below. CPU: Intel i7-8700K CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-DH15 or Corsair H115i Mainboard: Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti Aorus Waterforce AIO RAM: HyperX Predator DDR4 2x8GB, 3000MHz Storage: - SSD GoodRam Iridium GEN2 120GB SATA III (local brand, pretty decent) - HDD Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro P11 750W Case: be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 or Corsair Obsidian 750D or Fractal Design Meshify (I would love to pick this one but I am not sure if all of the components will fit in)

I am looking at how to best overclock my i7-8700k for both a mix of workload related tasks and for gaming. It's already a good CPU, but I'm wanting to really test how well it overclocks for a gaming load vs for a bunch of VMs/apps running without compromising stability or heat. A lot of the overclocking testing that I see hits all cores at once, so the features that my CPU has which will let it overclock higher or lower depending on the number of active cores is harder to validate. (As in, it by default clocks to 4.7 when it's one active core, 4.6 or something when it's 2, and so on, so the max clock speed when all cores are in use is lower than when one a few are). I already have my i7 running at 4.6GHz when all cores are in use, but I want to have it run at 5GHz when only 1-3 of the cores are in use, and drop back to roughly 4.6-4.7 when all cores are maxed, to control heat and stability. How does one test the overclock stability for when only a select few cores are active? As in, how can I test that when I run the 5GHz during gaming, it would be stable and heat be reasonable, compared to when all cores are maxed and it throttles down a little more. Is there any software to natively do this, or am I looking at disabling cores to "mimic" this behavior, then using AIDA64 to validate?

Hello, I want to build a new pc for video editing & gaming. First I was going for a high end build with 1950x threadripper specially for the editing part, but I decided to tune it down a bit and choose between the AMD Ryzen7 1800x and the Intel i7-8700k. I make videos of the games I play. So the games need to perform good, but the editing part takes the most of my time, I rather have the editing part performing better at the cost of a bit less gaming performance than the other way around. I also gonna stream every now and then and recording my gameplay at the same time. So I will use at minimum 2 monitors, 1 will be my old 1080p monitor and there will be a new 4k monitor. I never overclocked before, but I don't mind to look into that to get more performance. Now I would like to know: What build you suggest to go for, 8700k or 1800x? Are the builds I have listed good they way they are or do you have any suggestions for improvement without spending much more money? With pcpartpicker.com I created a build for each cpu. I noticed the power supply doesn't have a price, but over here it cost €155 / $183. So the total cost would be around $2700 for both builds. Sadly enough over here in The Netherlands these builds cost me €2800 / $3300. Insane to see $600 dollar difference between buying the stuff here or in the US.

Hello, After several days of thinking, viewing reviews, asking around etc. I finally ordered all my pc parts. People told me this build would be fine. But now I've ordered it and I put the parts in pc partpicker, it shows compatibility issues with the M2 SSD and the motherboard, I don't know what it means though. The issue with the case is not a problem for me, because I don't need those drive bays that might get blocked. Also a couple of people said the power would not be enough for my usage. I use this pc for editing videos, gaming/recording/streaming at the same time and the Ram speed is going to be unlocked by overclocking the default 2133 speed and I want the CPU to overclock to like 4.7 Ghz. I don't need it overclocked to the max. My question for you: Is there enough PSU power in this build for my needs and what do those M2 compatibility issues mean for me? Compatibility Notes (from pcpartpicker) The Phanteks - Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 420mm long, but video cards over 300mm may block drive bays. Since the MSI - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GAMING X TRIO Video Card is 325mm long, some drive bays may not be usable. The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled. The motherboard M.2 slot #2 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled. This is the pc part list, but the Kingston I've ordered is not the predator version, but the KC1000 480gb, but thats not available in this partpicker search engine.

After a long wait my i7-8700k finally got shipped and I'm wondering about the cooling? How close are the cooling requirements to the i7-7700k? I wanted a 240 aio but I don't think there's room as the case has an exhaust vent on the top but very little clearance from the eighth pin cable and ram on the motherboard. As I would have to buy a thin 240 radiator and then put the fans on the other side of the air vent and I just don't think it be that efficient because of air leaks. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811815010 I just purchased a H80i v2 from Newegg. Would that aio be sufficient for a 4.8ghz oc on all cores?

TL;DR, the stuff in bold are the important ones. I want a good cooler for an i7-8700k that i'm going to buy, would overclock a little, maybe 4.8-5.0ghz and I don't care about aesthetics and the h110i and h115i are really costly like nearly $170-180 in my region. But there are a few reasons for why I can't choose a good one, and I have a few questions too, 1)There are not a lot of coolers in my region, so don't suggest these brands - be quiet, cryorig, and some thermaltake ones. 2)I could get the masterliquid 240 AIO and the nh-d15 for about the same price, and from what I've seen nh-d15 destroys many AIOs so the masterliquid 240 can't stand a chance right? but then linus used the masterliquid 240 for a threadripper build, and he called it "high end cooling" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj-b7A4_5nU - 9:12 ). 3)One reason I'm scared of getting the nh-d15 is the height, I would maybe buy a masterbox 5, which has a clearance of 167mm for air coolers and the noctua nh-d15's height is 165mm, so is that a problem. I don't mind if all it does is touch my glass panel. And I'm thinking of getting an extra front intake case fan if that reduces my temps. 4)Some reasons for not getting an AIO include- i)leaks, though I haven't heard of a masterliquid leak other than just one guy who showed a few droplets. I don't know if coolermaster would replace my parts and it could be a very long and time consuming process. ii)Not as good as the nh-d15 iii)My case would have one intake in the front, and one exhaust in the back plus the 2 fans that come with the masterliquid 240, and here is the tricky part. If I use the masterliquid's fans as intake then it would mean that heat from the CPU would get back into the case heating everything else like the gpu, mobo, hdd. If I use it as exhaust then I would have a negative air flow, 3 exhaust versus 1 intake, and negative airflow would mean dust which I really don't want. Is this correct or am I wrong? maybe I should start another topic for this? So finally, should I get the NH-D15 or the masterliquid 240 for an i7-8700k. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
