8600K oc question ?

Hey everyone I will be buying either an 8600k or an 8350k. I only play esports titles on high refresh monitor so I need high clockspeeds. I will be buying an rtx 2070 or 2080 so I don't want a liquid aio cooler, if it leaks it's not worth it to me. These gpus are Overkill but sometimes I will hook it up to my 4k tv and play eso online.(fps not that important here, I know I'll get more then 50+). 

 

My question: Will overclocking only 4 of 6 cores to 4.8ghz on the 8600k work with hyper 212 Evo? Would it significantly lower the thermals? The majority of people just oc  all cores but I don't need all 6 running that fast so it would be in efficient. My case only has 164mm of clearance so my air coolers are limited. (H400i). Or should I save lots of money and just get the 8350k, I'm pretty sure mmorpgs don't use more than 4 cores anyway? Primarily gaming with voice chat program open, maybe some light video editing if I decide to get into YouTube. But I don't mind waiting a long time cause it obviously wouldn't be my source of income.

you shouldn't go 8350k with the GPUs you suggested. i smell a bottleneck on most other games... and you should go AIO... just make sure the GPU has a backplate and you'll most likely be fine if you ever have a leak

Rig 1: i7-9700k OC'd to 5.0ghz all core | EVGA XC RTX 2080Ti | ADATA DDR4 2400mhz 4x8gb | ASUS PRIME Z370-P | Asetek 550LC 120mm | ADATA 480GB SSD & Toshiba P300 3TB | Cooler Master Masterbox MB500 | Win 10 Home | Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum, G502 Proteus Spectrum, G933 Artemis Spectrum Snow Wireless Limited Edition, Corsair MM300 Mouse Pad | 2 MSI Optix Curved 27" FHD Monitors 

 

(before i sold the WD drive and MSI gpu - https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11946219 171 gaming. felt good.)

 

Rig 2: i7-7700k Stock clocks | MSI Armor GTX 1070 | ADATA DDR4 2400mhz 2x8GB | MSI Z270 A-Pro | WD Green 240GB SSD & 2TB Seagate HDD | Thermaltake Core G21 Tempered Glass Edition | Win 10 Home | 2 HP Omen FHD 144hz 24.5" Monitors 

 

Rig 3: i7-6700 | GT 730 & GT 645 OEM | Some random DDR4 2133mhz 2x8gb sticks | OEM Dell Mobo | WD Black 2TB HDD & Toshiba 1TB HDD | Win 10 Home | 3 27" Dell FHD Monitors 

 

Rig 4: i7-4770 | EVGA SSC 1050ti | Some random DDR3 ram 2x2gb and 2x4gb sticks | OEM Dell Mobo | Stock Cooler | 1TB WD Black HDD | Win 7 Home 

 

RIP 

 

Rig 5 (dead and dismantled and sold) : i7-7820X OC'd to 4.8ghz all core | MSI DUKE 1080ti | ADATA DDR4 2400mhz 4x8gb | Gigabyte X299 UD4 PRO | Asetek 240mm AIO | WD Green 240gb SSD | Other various components that I can't remember

 

Rig 6 (same fate as rig 5) : i7-8700k stock clocks | MSI DUKE 1080ti | ADATA DDR4 2400mhz 2x8gb | MSI Z370 A-Pro | Asetek 550LC 120mm | WD Green 240GB SSD & Toshiba 2TB HDD | Other various components that I can't Remember

Go with the 8600k and delid it, also only overclocking a few of the cores just seems like a waste, may as well go all the way, it won't really make things less efficient. The 8350k will hold you back if you ever want to play something that is modern and not an esports title.

8086k Winner BABY!!

Even esport titles use alot of cores. I know overwatch uses a ton of cores. The 8350k is a bad cpu and nobody should buy it. The 8600k is the better buy and you don't need to hit a high overclock to have it run super well in exports titles. You can hit 4.7 with pretty low voltage usually which should help keep temps pretty normal. Also you can look at some decent smaller air coolers.

I understand not getting liquid coolers (I myself don't use them), but small tower heatsinks like the Hyper 212 are too weak for overclocking Coffee Lake to the max and also a waste of money for their performance. get something bigger, on the more expensive side there's the Noctua NH-D15, Cryorig R1, on the cheaper (and smaller) size there's the Thermalright Macho Rev.b (and other 140mm fan variants), Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B and Fuma Rev.B

I think your best bet would be the be bequite dark rock 4. Not the pro version but the regular version. It will give you the cooling needed to do some moderate overclocks and it is only 159mm tall so it should fit.

Is the dark rock 4 > 212 Evo? Honestly I'd be happy with 4.7 GHz on 4 cores.

Yes, Dark Rock 4 is quite a better cooler. 

Another choice would be Scythe Mugen 5, very similar performance, but bit shorter

NoctuaNH-D15S CPU Cooler is only 160mm tall with a 120mm fan? Or 140mm fan. Should I just get this one instead ?
