Will a Stock 6700k Bottleneck 2 1070's in SLI?

[AlexTheTechFreak]

I'm just wondering if I'd have to overclock my 6700k in order for it to keep up with 2 1070's. I'd prefer to keep everything at stock as I don't really like overclocking components but if I have to then it's not a big deal. I'll just upgrade to an AIO cooler as well.

I may end up just upgrading to a single 1080 but I'm still considering the 1070's in SLI because I'm getting a new 144Hz monitor that I want to take advantage of.

There won't be any bottlenecking. That CPU is more than enough to keep up with those 1070s

You can get a 1080 now and add another one later (if necessary) And otherwise your cpu should be fine with 2 1070's.

In general no, in cpu intensive games that need a few really fast cores, maybe.

At any rate with a -k processor you have to have an aftermarket cooler and even cheap air will get you a nice overclock. These days overclocking is insanely easy and not dangerous to the cpu unless you try something crazy.
