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.

I never thought I'd say it, but it seems that some PC enthusiasts are as dumb as Apple sheep. Paying over twice the retail price for 200 MHz and a custom IHS is about as dumb as standing in line for a week for the newest iToy. I guess we can now see why Intel has done so well over these years, as there are people who are willing to spent gobs of money for very little gain.

As the saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted.

I wonder if I could get better perf if I just delid the IHS, plate it with gold and polish it.

Yep^...add a liquid nitrogen cooling system and your good to 7ghz!

Someone over OC.net 8700k thread allegedly already bought the 5.1GHz ultra edition.. :D

Edit: Another one allegedly bought the 5.2GHz edition.


Must resist "upgrade" itch(retail/normal 8700k tho). I have a 4.7G's 6700k ffs. :eek:

Complete Rip, already price gouching plus 500 euros for a heat spreader that costs no more then 20 bucks to make? Ah no thank you.

Intel- I am sorry to say this but you no longer call the shots so either adjust your prices according to Ryzen or Gtfo plain and simple. These guys sure have some balls to ask these amounts,I hope they dont sell even 1 cpu.
