Look I know this is just a i7 8700k in a Limited Edition box, with a new name, and maybe a little cherry picking

the CPU was DOA , or something happened when I fired it up in the other MOBO that didn't support the 8th edition

This Intel Core i7-8086K Limited Edition Desktop Processor was exactly what I wanted.

Limited edition really

Especially have to love the pre-binning that went into the 8086K Limited Edition

You buy this supposed limited edition processor, with seeming-less unending stock, hoping that in the future your money makes available better processing power.
