i7-8700

I have been scouring youtube videos for the last few days trying to figure this out. Some places say the CPU will bottleneck mid-range cards like the 6700 XT, and others say they don't have any bottleneck issues. I've been looking at either the 4060, the 6700 xt, the 3060, the rx 6700 non-xt and...

Hi all, I'm in the market for upgrading my cooling solution within my PC. Recently, I upgraded my CPU from an i5-9400F to an i7-8700 (non K version) and it wasn't the smoothest transition (see profile for other thread asking for help) which is likely due to my inadequate CPU cooler. I've...

So I'm wanting to game at 1080p and eventually switch to 1440p. Would the FPS increase be worth the switch if I did upgrade from my 8700k to 11700? Or should I got with the i7-10700K? Here are my specs: RTX 3080 EVGA FTW I7-8700k @4.7GHz PSU 850w Corsair Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4...

I'm running an Z370-F Gaming (BIOS: 2401) and i7-8700 (non k) with temps/volts spiking to 75°C/1.5v under load. Cooler is liquid ML240R, as per title. Seems like a high spike in volts, if nothing else. The ambient temps in all cases was ~22°C, although I fear in summer @ 40°C ambient, it will...
