I'll be doing a PC build in about a month and have been reading everything I can about Ryzen and Intel CPU's mobos, etc . Was disappointed to read that so many had to delid their i7 series CPU's due to high thermals.
Some i7 reviews say thermals are ok, others say way too high and to delid but to delid is to void the warranty, right? That seems too risky to me considering it's a $300+ CPU (unless it's out of warranty)
I read the builds folks here at [H] post in their signature and quite a few were i7 7700k (or similar high thermal CPU's).
Would appreciate any input regarding real world experiences with Intel thermals and need (or lack of) to delid
