Overclocking 7820X + New build
The new Intel HEDT lineup lacks the IHS soldered design, which means heat management will become a major challenge for these chips. Running core clocks at higher speeds demands a delid and cooling system—something you won’t find in an AIO or air-cooled setup.
Additionally, the 7820 isn't ideal if you're solely after a gaming processor. The coffee lake processors are coming soon, offering 6 cores and 12 threads on the mainstream platform, and they promise to be the top choice for gamers.
