"It'll be under £400".

By £1.02. lmao.

Not worth it. Would rather buy a regular one and spend the extra delidding it.

Thanks for the link

Over £100 more than what I paid for a new 8700K 2 days ago. Overclockers aint cheap.

Is it soldered or using tooth paste?...

I swear the gamers nexus video said it was still using TIM.

Has anyone here entered the sweepstake? I happened to be online last night when it opened, so I entered my email address (even though the first box didn't actually say what it wanted then, it's since been changed) and Region and hit submit. However, nothing happened. No "thanks for your entry" message, no email confirmation, nothing.


I suspected the web page was broken, so left it. Today, I see they've made some changes to it - mentioned above - so I wonder if I should try again. However, I read in the T&C's - yep I read them - that if you make a second entry both become invalid. Having zero confirmation that my original entry was actually accepted is a pain.


Anyway. It looks like a decent enough CPU, pre-binned and with a slight OC, but is still just a 8700k at heart & uses normal TIM sadly, which means it'll be quite hot. Still, like the 8700k it's based on, if it works fine at higher temps then it's all good


Scoob.

Yup. Knowing my luck I will bloody win one lmao.

 

[Damien c]

Yep, entered myself and my dad will just have to wait and see but since I can't win a thing normally I don't expect to win one.

 

[Dark NighT]

I didn't enter, don't really need one and it isn't really special to begin with.

 

[TheF34RChannel]

I wanted to enter but couldn't because my country isn't on the list.

 

[Blabla]

Same here, wouldnt win anyway, but bull from intels side, only to allow some eu countries to join, we are only allowed to buy it. Waterchiller team done it again. Awsome marketing gotta love their ways of doing buisness.

Well yeah there is that to.


Either way, if they truely where making an effort to celebrate 40 years, they would have soldered this thing.
