German webshop to sell Core i7 8700K with 99% silver heatspreader

German webshop to sell Core i7 8700K with 99% silver heatspreader

While the default stress temperatures for Core i7 8700k is fine, in overclocked conditions they can be high. Especially if your proc needs a bit more voltage than the average Coffee Lake proc. The temps can be lowered be delidding the processor and replace the TIM.

German etailer Caseking now designed a new way to make a quick buck as the store will be offering a Core i7 8700K Ultra Edition that has been retrofitted with a 99.99% silver heater spreader.  In-between the heatspreader and processor die they will apply some liquid metal opposed to thermal paste.

In the table below you can check out the models versus prices. The procs will be binned for a guaranteed OC, of course at additional cost. The maximum clock frequency would be 5.2 GHz for the Core i7 8700k.

Core i7 8700K Ultra Edition
  • 5.2 GHz 870 euro
  • 5.1 GHz 750 euro
  • 5.0 GHz 690 euro

Yes, be prepared to pay a massive price premium  as that is 500 euros extra for the binned 5.2 GHz model. But at least they add the silver heatspreader and liquid metal opposed to some parties in the market that just bin them.

Jesus 870 Euros,shit for that money i can have Threadripper with massive amount of PCIE lanes,not some meagerly 16,simple for that price i don't know it is simple waaaay to much to pay for that kind of CPU (just my itch,i don't play that much and definitely don't play games that would require 5.2Ghz CPU)

OCUK in the UK also do 5.2Ghz bins for £800, complete waste imo, most of these chips with proper cooling are going to do 5Ghz! Why anyone would spend more than double the price of Retail chip for 200Mhz gain over what they'll likely clock their chip at I'll never know!

870€ ?! I can buy Ryzen 1800X + Asus Crosshair Hero VI + 32GB of 3200Mhz Corsair memory for about 850€. Are they crazy or what? This is just ridiculous.

It's simply a way to guarantee an OC. Some shmuck will pay it trust me.
