I'm using it for now without a dedicated video card and only 8 gigs of RAM and it still blows my old system away

My advice for people complaining about the CPU overheating, get a decent cooling system or you'll be wasting your money.

I could go to a water-cooling system, but that meant more down-

Works great, however requires a high end water cooling system

MY goal was to build a capable system, that would outperform anything off the shelf, yet come in under budget, and have the power to handle whatever tasks they may ask of it next

Whole system feels snappier

However the KabyLake CPU is a outstanding processor at good value, you will be pleased with a much faster and highly responsive system, especially if you are an overclocker!

I'm using a CM 120 RGB liquid cooling system and I run from 27 degrees to around 40 which seems to be a good level for how much fortnite I play

The only down side to this chip is how hot it run average about 38-42c on the package at idle which is very high given that I have a custom loop cooling the system.

, it's very easy to overclock as long as you have a good cooling system

i plug the fans in and got it to cold down before the system quit working at mid

Have not overclocked, yet as I am making sure the system is running well.

Staying cool at 39 idle 45 loaded with a v8 gts cooler and T T core x9 air cooled case.

n’t have extreme water cooling
