Looking forward to it.  If the 8700k ends up clocking anywhere close to the speeds of the 7700k in OCs, it's going to be a MONSTER!

Oh yes I have the hopes it'll be the best gaming rig possible, however I won't be delidding it as I'm not quite that good with my hands buuut I'll go liquid cooling for a first so i'll try squeezing at least a 4.6~4.7 stable cross all cores.

So far I have found one person with a 7700k and 1080 ti that was willing to compare game performance.   We have only compared one so far and he ran his 1080ti higher than mine will do stable.  I would like to do some more comparisons with him or anyone else with a 7700k & 1080 ti and hopefully at the same GPU speed...~2025MHz.

 

Resident Evil 6 Benchmark at 2560x1440

 

7700k@4.8

1080ti @ 2063MHz (higher than my 1080ti runs stable)

Ram 3200 14-14-14-34

Score: 26598

 

7820x Core@4.8 Mesh@3.2

1080ti @ 2038MHz 

Ram 3600 16-16-16-36

Score: 26686

I think the tests should also be done at 1080p to put the brunt of the load on the CPU.

 

But it would be nice if we could get a nice little community together to test the 7700K v the 7800X & 7820X and bring light to the true gaming performance of X299 and see if it lines up with reviewers. I can pitch in myself if we can get a list of games together. 

 

*If I help out with testing, I'll have to run the CPU at 4.6 (mayyyyybe 4.7) because 4.8 with 3000 Mesh/ram puts me a little on the edge temperature wise. It's okay for short Cinebench runs but not prolonged gaming benchmarks.

We did just that...ran them at 1080p.  This is where it got real interesting...

What made you go with the 7820x in the first place? I'm curious to see how the 8700k will stack up to your set up

I like big overclocks, wanted single thread performance like a 7700k, but I wanted the muscle of 8 cores.  I see it as a well rounded CPU.

I've been looking a lot into getting the 7820x, all I need is a motherboard, aio and CPU to finish my build. I was thinking about going with the asus rog e. Seems like the thermals you get are pretty decent with the overclock you got. Did you have any issues with x299 at first or is it pretty good now and have you tested if there's much difference between 4.5 to 4.8 overclock?

For anyone that is wondering, my 7820x is still kicking ass  It has been running/minning at 4.8GHz 24/7 for the past 6 months.  When the 8700k first came out, I had a little buyers remorse...but after the 8700k shine wore off, absolutely no regret.  I play 3440x1440 @ 100hz and nothing has come close to maxing this CPU.

 

I reran Cinebench after "Meltdown"...it was 1cb slower... 2248cb @ 5GHz.  Freaking monster.
