In what way?
- jandrese 9y agoPresumably in relation to power draw? The 8700K seems kind of like one of those "Overclocked straight from the factory" deals that you see a lot with Video cards.
- atom_enger 9y agoIntel's historical response has been run it hotter when AMD introduces something that's competitive.
- GrumpyNl 9y agoThe issue with heat.
- olavgg 9y agoYeah I wonder how hot it gets when doing matrix multiplications with numpy. My i6700K starts throttling within a few seconds, with air cooling rated for 130w. Though for gaming it is most likely a dream.
- dom0 9y agoHeat dissipation has been problematic for Intel not just with the recent 2066 disaster but way before that. Most Haswell desktop processors are not that easy to keep from throttling. This is exaggerated by large temperature gradients of 15 °C and more across the cores, and obviously the hottest core is limiting overall performance.
- jandrese 9y agoThe fact that you can significantly improve the thermals by delidding the processor and replacing the TIM is really an embarrassment for Intel, especially on >$200 chips.
- apk-d 9y agoI'm curious, does this mean that upgrading the cooling is an alternative to overclocking (better heat dissipation -> longer performance bursts) or is the effect negligible in practice?
