Quick Question.

Does anyone own a i7-8086K?
 
But its just an over clocked 8700k?
 
Well because it is a K version i guess it can be overclocked further or am i wrong?

Its just a binned 5ghz 8700k. It's cut from the same silicon as the 8700k. The most 8700ks max at 5-5.2ghz anyway

I still would like to see temps and voltages.
 
Seems like a good waste of money to get the 8086K. Just get a regular 8700K.

Why should i get something i already own since last year, is my signature or system specs invisible?:laugh:

The 8700K and 8086K are identical in everything but stock clocks and name.
 
Thanks for the answer, anyway i guess i will give it a try.

Last thing i worry about is money;)

So you want a rebadged 8700k? The 8086k isn't really worth it if you already have the 8700k, I can understand keeping it as some sort of a collectible item but that's about it.
As an aside does it come with some exotic cooler?
 
Dude just wait for the rumored upcoming Z390 8core. That would be a worthy upgrade.

If you are set on spending money on a CPU with higher stock clocks you might as well go for one of those binned 8700K than can do 5.2 Ghz.

the 8086K cost 360€ and a binned 8700K that does 5.2GHz cost way more.

But at least you get more out of it in a guaranteed fashion.
 
Collectors will certainly have it. It's just a slightly better selected batch which should be as capable as 10-15% top i7 8700K CPU's. It means that it should (theoretically) overclock slightly higher and slightly better than the average i7 8700K. I would say it's a renamed golden chip aimed towards collectors and individuals who would like special i7 8700K variant.

I stick with the 8086K as it is a Limited Edition and collectible item, if i want 5.2GHz i would Overclock my 8700K.
 
Intel should have fixed the TIM too, like they did on Devil's Canyon chips. i7-8086K still uses pigeon poop.

Gaming-wise the 8 core will most likely perform worse because of lower clocks / less OC headroom.

Do you have any idea what the clock speed will be?
 
I'd expect sub 4 GHz base, 4.2-4.4 boost all cores

And 4.4GHz it is not enough for Gaming? however there is always the overclock option
 
I heard they are using the high-grade pigeon poop on the i7-8086K. Same as on DC and HEDT/X-series chips. Heard it mentioned in a Computex coverage YT vid I was watching last night. Just a rumour at this point. Unless there's some documentation proving it one way or the other.

In that case, do a frog a favor and send me some... I need to buy some stuff to break.

I want to see you buy this because I am curious about how well it overclocks and what volts it runs at compared to the 8700K. My hunch is the same as 8700K, but I'd like to know either way, just because I am sure most people will not buy it due to the price.

360€ is nothing, at least for me, i am waiting till Tuesday because i have a friend of mine who works at a PC shop and he told me that maybe he could get it a few € cheaper, about voltages and how well it overclock i am curious too.
