i7-8086K

Shou Miko · Oct 20, 2018

@Knoxx29 I had 1 Extreme in my life if I remember correctly it was the Asus Maximus VI Extreme great board but not worth the price for me.

For the few last gens from that Extreme I tried MSI Z87 Gaming AC ITX, MSI Z97 Gaming AC ITX, going back to ATX Z170 (Asus I don't remember) then I did Gigabyte for Z270, Asus for X299 and not last ASRock Z370 Taichi always wanted to try a ASRock and it haven't disappoint me and I know in the future if I need another board I will go ASRock again because of it's value, updated drivers/bios and so on.

Tbh if it had pigeon poop I might still have been tempted to delid one and see whether a 5.1-5.2 all core oc was possible. No way I’m gonna risk ruining a CPU by taking a knife to the STIM, though. Just not worth it tbh. Guess they’re absolutely pushing the limit of what their 14nm process can achieve now. Maybe 10nm, when it finally launches, will allow 8086K speeds with 8C/16T.

Judging by the TPU it seemed somewhat of a let down the new 9900k..

If so anyway i will get the Motherboard i showed above considering it is compatible with the 8th Gen CPU.

Almost every Motherboard i have owned is an Asus Extreme version i don't mind the price at all, i hate the one i own right now ( Rog Maximus X hero ) because it doesn't fit in the kind of Motherboard i am use to own/use/buy, at the time when the Z370 was launched Asus did not released any Extreme version and that is why i was forced to buy the Maximus X hero :banghead:

i was pissed off

Tbh, i am still pissed off :laugh:

@Knoxx29 wasn't the Asus ROG Maximus X Apex considered as Extreme board?

It sure had the price and crazy looking to be one :laugh:

X apex are aimed at LN2 users and Water cooling / extreme OC the XI extreme is the more consumer focused board.

So in all seriousness, what were the differences? Did @Xx Tek Tip xX have it correct?

I prefer the one that says Extreme.

Note: that's just me spending money i don't have to.

Well - I would've personally went with the apex if your sole purpose is overclocking - Apex boards are designed to OC like a champ and will always be superior to the "extreme board" - the extreme boards is the best available board for features but it will not provide the same grade of overclocking as the apex does.

Everyone needs a little Extreme in their lives

Although I have wondered whether or not the Asrock OCF boards are a little better for the overclocking compared to the Asus boards of late?

I cant say anything about it because i dont even know what Asrock OCF is

So far any of my ex Asus Extreme boards had disappointed me.

I'm trying to track down a Z170M OCF but they are a little on the rare side sadly... Might take me a little while...

@Knoxx29 You need more Intel stuff!!

Judging by the TPU it seemed somewhat of a let down the new 9900k.. I'm still so pleased with my 5960X I've not even considered buying it, that and the massively high price for it put me right off! Intel got some nerve at the mo with their pricing....

Same prices they have had all the way back to P4 era with their top of the line cpu’s.

Indeed, not even me a freaky Intel's fanboy is going to buy it, i guess the 8086K will stick around for a while.

My eyes are delighted. :toast:

phill · Oct 20, 2018

Glad you like them both

I've a few Asus pieces of hardware here, but not masses

Good luck with that - that board can handle a 8700k guaranteed with a mod and 9th gen is working on it and yes it's the z170 board.

@Mork_vom_Ork here on TPU is running a i3-8350K Coffee Cups in a ASRock Z270 Super Carrier: Post Link

So with some bios modding a i7 8gen can properly run in a Z170.

True but it appears that it's the ASRock boards that seem to be the most easiest to do - I'm tempted to try running a 8700k in my z270x gaming 7

You will need a bios mod. But GIGABYTE boards are amongst the easiest to modify in my experience, one thing I like about them.
