FWIW I recently bought a 7820x and a MSI x299 SLI Plus board. I overclocked it to 4.8Ghz@1.25v and max temps under P95 Blend are 64c. SmallFFT makes it go up to ~85c. In gaming I've yet to go past 60c.

That being said I am on a custom loop with a EK Supremacy. I think I might delid it at some point in the future -- but overall I'm pretty happy with the chip.

Why do nobody review the 7800x? And very few 7820x reviews out there.
Need to know thermals and overclock on none golden chipps (i never get lucky in the lottery)

I really wanted to go EVGA again this go round but their boards were not (and are still not) readily available.

I like MSI and I went with the Gaming Pro Carbon AC, very happy with it.

Intel doesn't seed these. The articles out there simply lock cores in the BIOS, insert roughly similar frequencies and call it a review.

I should get my hands on a Core i7-7740X soon though.
