New 8700k Build - Temperature Concerns

Appreciate the info ,Will i need to get the strix monoblock instead of using the evo cpu block?  I actually have a alphacool slim 280 sitting in an unopend box (life hit hard recently) so I glad to hear I made the right choice. I am also picking up a Barrow TCBJ-P14 mount as I kind of destroy my bracket that came with my kit 

Also have you noticed any whining coming from your psu? might be the corsair I am using currently but sound seems closer to bottom of tower.

Don’t know about the Evolv block but the Motherboard Monoblock works fine

The TIM has been the same with 4790K, it's just the spacing/heat issues. It was a big issue with 7700K were it just ran too hot, but it has the same TIM as the 4790K/6700K.

Were these issues fixed with the 8700k or the 8086k? I hate to necro but wanted to leave this here now as I have to make a decision in the next 3 or so days on which CPU to get.
