8086k or 8700k?

[MadeInChina O69]

For my first build Im wondering if I should go for a 8086k or 8700k. Im going to have a gtx 1080ti and the asus maximus x hero MoBo

Depends on if you want to pay more for an anniversary CPU that gets marginally higher frequencies.

I would just get an 8700K, 8086K isn't really worth it to me.

 

It's essentially a higher clocked, supposedly higher binned 8700K that's more or less a collector's item.

It's basically the same thing. Its a higher binned and can guarantee i think a 5GHz out of box, but theres so many people able to reach 5-5.2 already that its not really worth the extra almost 100$ difference (in my opinion of course). Der8aur did an overclock with one and got it to 7.24 Ghz (on Ln2) where as hes had some 8700k's hit the 7.3Ghz mark. If your into the whole, "i got a special item that was in limited quantities" thing then its definitely up to you, but unless you get a pretty bad 8700k, you'll most likely be able to hit at least close to it anyways.

Also i think it was Gamers Nexus that said that it sounded like the "limited quantity" thing might be a little more out there than expected kinda thing so for those thinking it'll have higher resale value, it doesn't really sound like that would be the case.

8086K is a marketing thing, the only difference between it and the 8700K is the 1 core single turbo boost of 5ghz instead of 4.7ghz, all the other per core turbos are identical including the all core boost of 4.3ghz.

 

This can be easily achievable without having to find that much binned chips tbh... you're literally buying it just for the name... for all I care silicon lottery can still get you a 8086K chip stuck on 4.9ghz all cores overclock.

 

if you can wait for the i7 8790K 8 cores coffee lake and z390 chipset that'd make a difference... if not just go with the i7 8700K and a more of a senseful board like the Prime-A which already can achieve the CPU's full potential in common non-enthusiastic overclocking.

When does the z390 chipset come out? And should I just wait for the rumored gtx 11 series cards too?

What do you mean by this?

Meaning it's a not as expensive board with only significant changes being lack of built-in AC wifi and bluetooth, and different audio chipset. Both will pretty much allow identical CPU overclocking

Oh ok! And what bord would have better audio tho?
