8700k vs 8600k

[AndreasRitter]

Hi, 

I am planning a Coffee lake build for 3d modeling(mostly fusion 360)and a little gaming. what kind of performance gain does the 8700k have over the 8600k, is it worth it? I also don't want high temps, i am planning  on using ekwb's A240g kit. 

Thanks

if you need to choose between those i suggest you get a 8700 non-k,

 

it will be better than a 8600k and mostly the same price

This video by one of my personal favorite content creators should help.

I'd get 8700k, especially for any workload besides gaming. I'd also delid the CPU to get 30°C lower temps.

isn't there a large risk with deliding?

you destroy your warranty for sure

Yeah your warranty is done, but just google the results. It blew over 25°C on my 4770k, and 8700k is way hotter than 4770k. And in terms of pure risks, with a proper tool it's really not risky. They do the risky part safely. 

 

There's even gonna be a delid booth at LTX 2018. So it's something more and more enthusiasts are doing.

Is ordering your own tool a valid option? or is it a better idea to get it done by a professional?

Yeah you can order a tool. That's how 99% of the people do it. 

Rockit 88 for example or Delid-Die-Mate 2. I have a code to knock $5 off your whole purchase by Rockit Cool (makers of Rockit 88 tool). 

I ordered Rockit 88 and did it myself. I have even a video on how to do it.
