It seems like an out of the box overclocked 7700k with more cores. The article says it can not really be further overclocked without liquid cooling. That does suggest it is out of the box overclocked as compared to previous chips.
Does its hotness reduce its lifespan?
But that weirdness aside, nice to see the additional cores, that Intel stayed at 4 cores for the desktop for so long has been unfortunate.

- vbezhenar 9y agoI think that the part of the problem is thermopaste between crystal and cover. It limits amount of heat that cooler can dissipate, therefore limiting possible overclocking options. Delidding should be easy enough with good tools, so I would consider it as an option if you want to overclock. It would void warranty, but overclocking voids warranty anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem.
