8700k coolers??7

[Dimmizer]

some might remember me recently from 

I've decided to choose the 8700k as I've come into some money from the holidays and such..  I have a Hyper EVO 212 atm so wondering is this good for the 8700k or should I get something else? suggestions/feedback is always awesome <3 love the community and everything you guys do.

Edit: Does the 8700k get super hot like the 7700k did and cause problems for overclocking? I remember reading awhile back a lot of people got super mad because they spent money on the 7700k and their cpus were getting mad hot and when Intel gave a response it just said don't overclock them to which people were like wtf?? why did we spend all this extra money then.

It will work, I doubt you will be able to overclock much but stock should be fine

don't know about the i7 tho, but i5-8600K did run lower temps after delidded in quite significant way. the i7-8700k temps is still acceptable for most people

a 212 Evo will suffice for the i7 8700k at stock, would not overclock it... frankly there even is a reason to yet... you'll get GPU bound even with a 1080 Ti at any display setting above 1080p144hz.

 

Reason why I suggest the locked i7 8700 instead, it is more power than any one needs for a gaming computer but the 65w tdp makes it cooler and silent... overclocking the i7 8700k will cost you more expensive and there will be no performance gain to see outside as mentioned 1080p144hz

Well I wanna do more than gaming I wanna do streaming and such as well some small content creation probably have a YouTube channel n such etc.. so would the locked 8700 still be just fine?

Dont get new cpu cooler, if you'll want better temps then invest in some liquid metal and delid your cpu. It will be a fraction of a cost of a new cooler and your temps will decrease significantly.
