is RM1300 for a used i7 8700k a common price at the moment? thinking of selling mine to upgrade it but not sure how much i could fetch together with the mobo

also, will delidding make it worth less or more?

yea not much are being listed and those that are being listed, they're listing it for over 1k for the cpu so i was a little surprised

that's what i thought too, was thinking no way these cost over 1k after several years and intel releasing newer cpus.

thanks for the info! now i got an idea of where to start for the pricing

sounds like good news if i killed my cpu cause i plan to delid it now that the warranty is already over

im waiting for my delid tool to arrive from china and already ordered the conductonaut as well

thinking of not wanting to reglue the IHS also but it might be a hassle eyeballing it on the cpu socket

this news has scratched my itch of upgrading to 5900x

time to wait for this

will definitely check the prices first before pull the trigger. honestly even the ryzen 5900x is pretty tempting now

12700k sounds cheap but we'll have to see how it really performs first

hi guys,

im looking to upgrade my 5 y/o system so i'm eyeing the z690 architecture

my current base is gonna be the Z690 Aorus Pro DDR4 but i kinda want the 13th gen as well. i'm going with ddr4 as it doesnt seem beneficial to be swapping to ddr5 atm and new z790 boards are supposedly switching jedec spec to 5600 so any ddr5 boards i buy now are kinda gonna be obselete soon

is there any leak that's hinting >10% leap over current 12th gen like for example, 13700k vs 12700k in games?

should i just get 12600k and call it a day?

wait im confused, is there a z670/z770 chipset
