Should I get a different CPU?

AMD uses a lot of power and reaches a very high temperature. There's a reason why 90% of modern PCs use Intel. Stick with what you have.

2011 called, they want their memes back.

twas like this more than 1 years ago, have a (you), cuck.

7700K like all modern Intel CPUs uses thermal paste instead of solder, this is the reason for the high temperatures and difficulty of overclocking without delidding the CPU and replacing the thermal paste with liquid metal.

>>62466706
Why do you have an unopened CPU without other computer parts, Tyrone?

*10

Buy the deliding tool, RTV From JB Well, and cool labs pro.

-20°c no joke.

If you aren't going to delid it and overclock you should've just bought a 1600 or 1600x instead.

It'd be half the price, too, for 5% worse performance.

>>62466792
Well it'd be more like 10% better performance with the 1600x if he doesn't delid, use metal paste, and overclock the 7700k

"Reviewers" never really mention that part of getting their i7 builds working.

I can only imagine how many retards have bought 7700k's and just never even touched the overclock at all.

TDP doesn't mean shit when overclocked. Only difference is ryzen is a bigger die and soldered so it can actually dissipate the heat. All new high end hardware is a housefire when cranked up.

Retail edge.
>>62466792
I fully intend to overclock, I'm just on the fence about delidding. I know the benefits, but it seems fucking asinine to have to pry off a part of a CPU to have it be not shit overclocked.

That's what i meant, thanks actually
This retarded "AMD is hotter than Intel" meme belongs to Athlon XP and Prescott times

>>62466723
But Ryzen has better performance per watt than Kaby Lake.

If you can return it and get all your money back, you might want to do that if you have thread heavy workloads. If not the 7700K is a perfectly fine CPU and will be good enough for gaming for quite some time if that is your goal.
