Yeah, I can't wait. I'm hoping the 8700K lasts me as long as my 4970K did, and my 875K did before that...

Pretty sure you meant 4790K ...formerly one of the best consumer chips intel released, on the streets in 2014, and they're still selling on Newegg! https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117369

No doubt you'll be happy with the 8700K, 'specially with 4 more cores and turbo out of the box to 4.7Ghz. Crazy.

Yeah, 4790k is what I meant. :toast:

I still have the 4.1 for my PC and the 5.1 (+ Klipsch branded 5.1 Dolby decoder) for my home theater. No plans to trade in or up at the moment.

What are you replacing them with... ?

The JBL LSR305 powered monitor speakers I posted earlier. Twice the price and sound just a tad better
They work with my DAC so I can plug other stuff into them

That's quite impossible...I don't have a basement...it could probably go in the cupboard

Yeah Vietnam, I've noticed that as well.. :ohwell:

I plan to run it @ stock first, should be fine.

Maybe later some OC'ing.

At least it has a 3 year warranty.

Edit: Is it that bad then? An intel CPU from Vietnam?

Edit: What do you think @GreiverBlade @cadaveca ?

ASOT · Dec 22, 2017

Yes warranty is nice,Intel Romania return me one from Malaysia,that one had problems from begining with igpu some conflict.. donoow exactly
What i heard is that Vietnam not a good manufactory,hope im wrong,different batch code then Malaysia on i7
And since that all cpu's i have are from there.
